    That's not MadMax that’s Space station. Looks like sumthing out of the movie Sunshine.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    I recall previous to Dynamatting, I gutted my VX down and drove it for about 2 weeks before actually getting around to even STARTING laying the mat. Driving was painful! Road noise was excruciating and I even stopped driving highway and took back roads to work until I finished it and trimmed it back together.

    Now that I think about it, that was with mt street Yokos on too.... with the Nittos on now, I can only imagine what sort of upset stomach it would give me, hehe (of course, with about 80lbs of Dynamatting in there now, it would be a different story).

    So it seems the problems out weigh the benefits in this situation. Thanks for the input guys. The vision in my head of what I want and the reality of the situation are probably much different, as usual.

    I have always thought about placing two front seats in place of back bench.

    Just get yourself a lag brace and a 2 barrel shotgun and call it good.

    Interior temp would be another drawback.

    Like Zeus said... If you tear it down, Rhino/Line X it.

    If you had the entire interior rhino'd I don't think the Resonation, vibration and road noise would be bad.

    And you could hose down your interior after a messy trip.

    Only problem is expense

    It'd be very cool though
