Thanks for watching! It has made a big difference, I'm especially happy with the roof, the foam is not having a problem sticking to the roof of the cab, even though it's been 110 degrees. The noise, and especially the temperature has been reduced a lot. I'm waiting for more material so I can take care of the doors.

Goldy made the 1000mi round trip to Moab Utah, towing the Jeep. I was very happy, and all of the work definitely paid off. Still lots to do, and sometimes I was wishing for about 200 more Horsepower, because on a few of the grades I was WOT, doing 30mph in 2nd gear, but towing 7k LB, I'm ok with that. There was some very long grades, on the I70, one of grades was so long, that I literally used 1/4 of a tank of gas lol. Here is some video of the trip.

Installed a Huge Trans cooler right before my Moab trip, and it was just what I needed for towing. Some of the time it would sit right at 100, and the most I could get climbing a 9k foot grade was 180, towing 7k lbs. The cooler used was a Tru-Cool LPD47391. Video of the install below.

Thanks for sharing. I should probably do the same thing to my 86 K20. It has the 5.3/TH400/4.10 gears.
