thats what i did. because in pulling off the factory fabric the glue is so tightly bonded from being on so long it was also destroying the foam. so i just glued mine over

How is it holding up? I'm assuming you wrapped it all the way around so it's tightens wont come loose.

its still there haha. no sagging. and yea, but wrapping it around & pulling it tightly, if done wrong, could also just pull it loose.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind.

Is it possible to take apart the visors? Like the cloth off?

Well, I'm trying to duplicolor fabic and vinyl them, so I was thinking it would be easier if I take it apart.

So, now that I'm slowly taking all my interior pieces out to change the color, I might as well buy sound damping stuff, right? Rick from RAAMmat offered me a military discount and here is what he said will cover the entire truck.

1/3 roll BXT RAAMmat
1 pack BXT II
4 yards PS Ensolite

All for a nice price of $180. Is that a good deal or should I look at something else?

What have you used?

Also, I need to take my WHOLE dash out, I just can't seem to find out where all the bolts are located, is there a diagram to help me take this thing out?

What did you get from eBay? Fatmat? Also, how much do I need to do the WHOLE inside of my truck? Floor, roof, doors.

Asphalt is good but butyl is better and sticks better as well. As far as sticking though, you should be fine everywhere but the roof if you're in a high heat area. I've heard good things about b-quiet, fatmat, eDead, and raamat. And they're all pretty affordable compared to dynamat. Just a little more than that generic listing above.
