Not to be pedantic, but that's not an "insulator" for the hood. That's a fire blanket. These plastic "clips" are designed to melt and let the fire blanket drop and cover the engine to help suppress a fire should it arise under the hood.

Toyota specifically calls it "INSULATOR, HOOD" (PN 53341-35021 or 53341-35031) - Whether or not it is for heat, noise, or fire safety is a different story.

I'm gonna guess that it does all of those things and you could wrap yourself up in it if you break down in your truck on a cold winter's night. Ha!
 
I don't have a hood insulator either. What year did they get added on?

any info on a part number for the hood insulator. I would love to have one

The hood insulator was added on in 99 and up. Not sure if you can add one to a 96-98 model if it doesn't have the right hood crossmember configuration or even the holes to put the clips into. Besides that, it's over $200 new.

53341-35022 w/0 bulge
53341-35031 w bulge (sport hood) NLA
 
Does anyone know if a dirty hood insulator could contribute to cabin smells? It's potentially seen a lot of different chemicals over the years, including krown.

My hood seals are really wavy and probably not sealing anymore, the thinking here is that smelly air from the engine bay (maybe from the hood insulator releasing odours as it heats up?) is escaping and then getting sucked into the cowl. It's certainly worse when the truck isn't moving.

Incidentally if anyone has part numbers for the front and rear hood seals it would be greatly appreciated, but maybe that should be a new post.
