88 YJ-CJ Transmission Tunnel Part 2 and a big milestone:

The transmission tunnel got a black top coat:



Templates were made:


Insulation was cut and installed:


I thought about removing the muffler heat shield, cleaning, priming and painting it; and then adding a layer of insulation.  For now, I'm leaving it alone, but I'll think about it more when I work on the exhaust system.  

I may go back and insulate this area later - I'll see how hot it gets.  It's above the transfer case.

This is the tape for the seams and edges:



Finished:

Once the insulation was finished, the drivetrain could go back in!



Fully bolted in place, but lots of work remains!
