My 4th Gen 'Bastard Child' Build

I cheated, and had a friend do it for me. He charged me 6 hours of labor for the dynamat and the dynamat bulk pack was itself $145.
I catalog everything I do in this thread so that when I get a new/different truck, I can pick and choose what mods I want on it. Said another way, I will readily admit that not all my mods are worthy of being repeated on my next truck. However, the dynamat is definitely an item I'll be adding to the "must do" list. VERY noticeable positive difference to NVH and road noise.

Not yet man, plan on going this year. Did you ride with TTD? I know FishTail is also planning on running there this year.

Totally worth checking out, its a great track. Incredible elevation gains. Yeah I have done a few TTD events. It's pretty easy and you just show up and everything is taken care of. I like that part of it. Also have ridden at Thompson, but Palmer is a way nicer track (although the amenities are pretty primitive at this point). I've heard rumors that TTD might be getting some days at the new track facility going in near lincoln NH too.
Yeah, I've ridden with TTD in the past and they put up a good show. Have ridden Thompson, like it a lot. Are you referring to the new track in Canaan, NH? Penguin has a bunch of days there and I will surely be riding there with Penguin. See ya around man, ride safe!
