exhaust wrap ?

Postby DonaldNZ » Mon Jun 22, 2020 11:19 am

Drivers floor gets hot on slow crawl in convoy in low low for an hour up hill, considering exhaust wrap by floor, anyone done this & any catches ? I do not go off the shingle track, hard out rock bashing off road or swimming in rivers.

Extra trans cooler in series & before radiator trans cooler.
airlift airbags in rear springs running 5-25psi, so far worked a treat, no longer bottoms out with 5 people and gear and still doesn't rattle me one up and empty. Watch the us paddle switches as my first pair leak. I've air electric replacements yet to fit.

The wizard I had the floor would get warm but not hot. Even the old ubs55 with no carpets didnt get that hot it was an issue on bare feet. My thoughts on exhaust wrap under the floorpan is it will get wet and rust out the exhaust quicker. Maybe you could fabricate a heat shield for the offending spot
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
