So when I was re-assembling the crewcab after I finished the 2wd to 4wd conversion, I cut out the recessed roof panel out of the donor roof, and then made removable panels to go in Ol' Patches.
So once I had access to the inside of the roof, I cleaned and painted everything, then loaded it up with "Mighty Mat" insulation. Then installed the removable panels. Sure quieted up the interior, and the roof is much more stable now.
You can check out what I did in my build thread over on the DTR. There are pics and descriptions of what I did there.
