1 box is probably enough. I got 2 planning on doing my floor under the carpet. The first one did the top and the doors and still has a panel left over.I’m planning on doing this and I was wondering if you had any tips. My JT doesn’t get here for a few more weeks, but I’ve ordered the coverking and am thinking about ordering the armorlite too. I was going to just go with the noico sound deadener under both, but not sure which one, maybe the 80 mil one? I’m not sure how much I’d need. Also, I’m curious what kind of installation process I’m looking at. In your opinion would a woman with average strength be able to do both installs herself? I’m really hoping I can handle it myself, because it looks like a fun project.
Every inch of the insulation must be rolled down. When you buy the box of soundproofing insulation you need to buy one of the rollers.
Take your time, wear work gloves to protect your hands from the outer aluminum coating. I used tin snips to cut mine to shape placed it down and rolled it to ensure full contact. The bottom is super sticky so once it is down, it is down. I have found it easiest to work from one edge to another filling the big spaces, then come back and use the smaller pieces I cut off to fill gap around the edges.
As for can a woman do it, hell yes. I am in my 50s and the hardest thing on me was all the getting up and down because I had the top on the ground. I suspect the inside floor will be physically easier, but it will have wiring in the way you will need to deal with. I wouldn't get a wiring harness under this, you will never get it back out.
I still haven't done the inside of my jeep because I wasn't sure if I would do the Armorlite, or just remove the carpet. I am strongly leaning towards the Armorlite. I miss that type of flooring. My old 64 chevy, you could literally hose out the interior floor if you needed to during the rainy season.
