    Put the new wheels/tires on and installed the Liqui-damp with my 9 year old son. He installed his first wheel/tire all by himself.

    Tires are Toyo R1R. Very happy with them, came off ebay. 2 year old tires unmounted for 100.00 each brand new. Non current production years can not be sold as new so look at ebay for fantastic deals on new/old tires.

    The sound proofer is new product from GT Sound Control called Liqui-damp. It is a inexpensive alternative to products like Lizard Skin (about 1/3 the cost for the same coverage area). Covered the whole floor, both fire walls, entire tunnel and all upright aluminum with about 2 quarts. Not only will it cut down on road noise and heat, but will definitely help eliminate interior rattles, squeaks and that aluminum tin sound. In my mind, the extra 10lbs in weight and $60 spent (including shipping for 1 gallon) is without question worth it. Took about an hour for my 9 year old son and I to coat everything.
