No underhood insulation in 1997?
Hi all! Thank you in advance for your responses.
I have a 1997 SR5 4wd. My truck was involved in a collision a couple of weeks ago and the body shop had to replace the hood. They did not put any under hood insulation on and said that Toyota did not do it either. They say Toyota started installing the insulation in 1998. I am pretty sure i had it on before but do not have any pictures to prove it.
Those with 1996, 1997 and 1998s can you look and see if you have any hood insulation. Please name your year. It seems odd that Toyota would not do this in 1996 &1997 when this has been common practice for decades before. Thanks

I DO have it on my '99. I know you didn't ask for '99, but since '98 came up dry, I thought this was useful.

My 98 does NOT have insulation under the hood. It does have the 2 stickers for belt routing and such.

My '96 Surf does have the underhood insulation. I know that won't help you much, but I found it interesting as I assumed all the 3rd gens had it.
You could likely snag some from a wrecker and add it to any year 3rd gen though.

Yes it is very useful. Thanks. Interesting info. I thought the shop was pulling one over on me. I wonder why no hood insulation.

Here I am! 8 years later!
So my '97 doesn't have the insulation either.
Question: will another 3rd gen insulation fit and does it even matter??

No it does not matter. The insulation is just for sound dampening & heat reflection from the hood.
Yes if you can salvage all the clips with it. However the insulation get very brittle and fibrous with age.

@ gamefreakgc
thanks. I didn't think it made a difference: Considering my runner has 370k on it and done that long without it ☺
@ brillo_76
someone earlier in this thread commented they have a '99 and it DOES have the insulation. |
