+1 on using an intercomm. I pieced together a used aviation setup from Softcomm and spent about $150 total. Works well.
If you want insulated and creature comforts, seems you want an H1, not a Humvee.

...the doors and on the back of the cab on the passenger side (the muffler is on the other side of the sheet metal) and it knocked the exhaust noise way down. Now I can hold a conversation while diving😃 without shouting. I’m going to do more Dynamat and insulation this summer. BTW, I prefer stock.
The "holding a conversation" thing cracks me up. Then seeing dynamat on the cargo floor. That's not where most of the noise is coming from. Id invest in an intercom system. Im doing a VIC1 system for the military look, but a better option for you would be an aviation style setup that is cheaper...
Lizard Skin Sound followed by Lizard Skin Heat. Then traditional or aftermarket floor sound deadening mats.
IMHO, Dynamat is heavy, expensive, and might eventually pull loose. It is great for car show stereo systems that will no longer be show quality 2 years later. I like the stuff for show...
...of bed liner sprayed on, you could use the stick-on sheets of sound deadening material designed to use inside car door, under floors etc. Dynamat is one popular brand, but there are others that are less expensive. Some are rolls and some are 12 x 12 squares.
Warm them up to help conform to...
...biggest opportunities like the HEUI pump & how to address:

...of noise (fan and other) comes through that hole.
My thought is cover the hole with a metal plate, mastic or weld it in place, then use a hood liner underneath and dynamat type material on top.
Are there any concerns or issues I have not thought of?
Thanks

...roller with it as you really need it to apply it correctly (it is the same price with or without the roller).
Under the hump I use 2 boxes of Dynamat hoodliner (3/4"). That was about $100 for the 2 boxes. I am not sure how much it did for sound dampening as I already had the butyl rubber...
I cost about $171 total: 3 rolls of Dynamat Hoodliner material. Each roll is 32"x54"x0.75 thick.
Here's the summit racing link to the material i used:

I still owe the thread a mapping of how I applied the material to the hood.
...that day. The Cab stayed pretty comfortable - didn't need to turn on the heater. I've relined the roof and upper portion of THOR's cab with dynamat and Liner to reduce exterior noise - I think it helped considerably in keeping the cab warm as well. That and a warm 8.3L Cummins probably helped :)
I need to do that to my 923A2. Thank you for the info. Your under hood looks great. Could you send me the mapping of the pieces to the rolls? Thank you and Happy New Year!
@dougnash & @SCM35A2 : Thank You for the positive feedback!
The material is Dynamat brand Hood Liner 11905 from Summit Racing : https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dyc-11905
Comes in 32" x 54" rolls. I used 3 rolls with very little left over. I can provide a sketch of how I pieced it all...
Refreshed the hood insulation - removed the remnants of the decaying old insulation and applied new Dynamat Hoodliner. Used 3M 90 spray adhesive to ensure solid attachment.
