I will post up some before and after in the build thread.
Not going to drop the headliner but everywhere else will get killmat and then some MLV on top. Hope it makes a difference.
What have you done to your rig today?

I'm also curious. I need to do this eventually in Genni. After I replace the driver's side floor pan.

I drove the pickup for a week after the exhaust snapped at the y pipe. It was outrageously loud. 4 cylinders of straight pipe fury. To the point that I wore ear pro while driving and changed my route to avoid residential areas.
I was "that guy" until I got it welded up.

Awesome can’t wait. My old ford is loud AF and I’ve got the same plans

They came out in good shape! That took care of #3 misfire but not #4. Looks like she is getting new plugs and wires too😮💨

How spent were they plugs? I want to see if they were as spent as the ones in the Sequoia.
The gap was still spot on but they were pretty worn and all were worn evenly.
Pulled the tranny and tcase out of the 78 FJ40. Don’t think you can remove the tranny with the tunnel cover installed. I tried and failed which resulted in yanking out the seats and tank to access the tunnel bolts. Spent the last hour of the day pressure washing rock hard grease.
New clutch, rear main seal, and oil pan are on the agenda. Might as well reseal the tcase while I’m at it.

Changed out my crank position sensor on the Sequoia today. Super easy job. Hardest part was getting the connector loose in that cramped area between the crank pulley and the radiator but a pick tool solved that problem. Only drove less than a mile so far but wouldn't be surprised if it runs even smoother when warmed up (ohms tested over 50% over spec on the old one which I'm sure has some effect although it felt smooth even before).

Gravity bled the brakes today, old fluid was definitely overdue. Pedal feels great now. Next up are replacing the UBJs. Have new OEMs, just need time and to rent a ball joint press.

Well plans changed for the day so I decided to knock out the UBJs. They weren't to bad but passenger did have water in it. Apparently most of my suspension creak was caused by that. Only need to do sway bar bushings and end links and suspension will be in really good shape.

Had the Smittybilt bumper sandblasted and re-coated. It's fine from 10 feet away, or more like 20 feet.

For a split second there, it looked the house was a pop up tent on your rig 🤣
It's looking good!
