then its not worth it. I was going replace my carpet cause its about that time after 5 yrs. So it was a idea i was thinking about doing....hmmmm gotta think

you being a dodge may be different. this was on a 08 gmc reg cab. the carpet was really thin not like something you would have from a 60's car say. another thing is the carpet helps dampen the tin'y sound of the cab if your truck is loud already on the inside.

but like said every last bit helps. look at sprint cars with their gun drilled dzus fasteners. lol

Yea, I'm not so sure by backyard is prepared for what I have planned. I'm also a little unsure of how well this plan is going to work.

I'm gonna get a 5 gal bucket and line the bottom and inside with about 2" of some kind of glue. Once that dries, I'll fill up to about halfway with with some gun powder that has a very fast burning rate. Then I'll drop the air bag charge in with long leads on the wiring going through one smaill hole on the side. I will then fill almost all the way to the top with more powder. Then inject glue to the top to make a tight fit. I'm looking for some pretty descent destruction with this one so I'm not sure yet where its gonna fire or what its gonna fire on. I'm open to suggestions. Like bury it, or throw it in a lake or put it under your neighbors back patio at 3am........................I'll need help with this one.
