Walling off a truck advice

[magillaru]

It's messy and I'd rather make cuts correctly to seal things off vs emptying 20 bottles of foam into my truck. But for the spaces with the roof, it's perfect as long as you're careful. I don't see anything wrong with but use it where it's NEEDED, not to take short cuts.

ask yourself, do you want it to be removable, or no?

if not, get after it like magillaru.

if you want it removable, build a nice and sturdy floor for it to rest on. secure the floor to the cab, frame, whatever, make sure it's secure. Doing it this way will make it a little easier to run cable after the fact, if need be. Batteries can be placed under the false floor.

Quick tip, if it's an 04-08 truck, the rear cab vents and the little rubber boot grommet things at the front of the bed nearly line up perfectly. Bring cable down the side of the frame. Battery bank in the bed(toolbox?) and make a few runs into the back of the cab for the amps. Lot easier than running cable through the cab.

^forgot to mention the can vents.....I mean pre cut power/ground wire holes. I left the vents in but cut out all the little spacers to make one big rectangular hole and still have the plastic to protect the wire.

I did the same, cut a big hole in the little grommet things and fed the wire through. But I spray foamed my cab vents after I brought cable in

I figure I'll never need more than 300a in the cab, so that's all I brought.

Yeah, Spray foam has it's place but it does not like to be removed.

If you do this right you don't need foam. I have some in my truck to seal the rear off but it should never be visible and it sure as fuck isn't to seal it off completely. Filling voids sure. Sealing your wall no.

And for he love of god paln out how you'll trim it in. I see so many walls that start as a big box and no one properly plans how to seal it off. A little pre planning goes a long way

I'll take this look

Over a wall where someone bolts trim panels to the front of the wall any day.
