You say it's dropped it by 'only' 5 dB however remember that decibel scale is log 10 so you've effectively reduced the sound inside by a factor of 5!! Nice work!

Defo worth it mate!!!! I have a 2014 GXL, you can basically stick your fingers up between the inside body and the door as you drive and feel the door flexing. I did try some Ebay door trim that was sorta of shaped like a "D" if you can imagine it (hard to explain) to see if that would work when the door was closed but had no luck so through doing some investigating I see some people have yanked on the top of the door and bent it in and had success. Windows would have to be down and it would only have to be a slight adjustment but seems like it makes sense to me :) Like you said, you don't want to add to much weight so doing the doors alone is a big improvement over standard!

Thanks for the two videos mate, really good info and honesty there. I've been debating whether to do this or not, you leave no question now! If I can ask, is that a Toyota head unit from a different model?

I have a Japanese import in the UK with a 2.4 turbo. Really need some sound deadening! Maybe I can drive above 60mph/100kph without ear defenders then!!

Thanks Oscar, I have 2x Sony 6x9 speakers in the wagon, 2x Sony 6” speakers in the rear doors, 2x Sony 6” speakers in the front doors, 2x Sony 4” speakers in the dash and a 10” MTX sub in wedge box (to suit the angle of the rear bench seat in the back). I have rewired all the speakers with new thicker gauge speakers cable. All 4 door speakers and the sub are running off a 500w Sony amp under the back seat powered off the ignition. And the rear 6x9s and dash 4” speakers are powered from the headunit - this is so I can have music playing while the car isn’t running and I’m not worried about extra speakers/sub and amp draining the battery. The headunit is a VMS in dash GPS which fits the space. I would recommend getting a newer unit with Apple CarPlay support and just using google maps through your device. The VMS is old technology now. Hope that’s helps!!

everyone needs to remember decibels are on a logarithmic scale so 5db would be a 50% drop in perceived loudness if not more

Great in depth vid buddy. Has it altered the sound quality of the speakers? Sound waves need a solid surface to bounce off the get the full acoustics. It’s my only concern of putting it inside the door. I hear it’s better on the door panel to stop the sound wave penetration but speakers still push good sound out.

Hey mate, sorry about the late reply - I missed this comment! Interesting! Would definitely be an good thing to compare; I think it’s made the whole shell of the cruiser a lot more “deadened” but the improved listenability to music in general is GREAT; solely from having significantly less road noise inside the cab and not having to drown the road noise out by turning the stereo up. Can now actually hear the music a lot better without having to crank it up if that makes sense!

Have you thought about removing the wheel arch liners and placing the mass insulation on the external wheel arches then replacing the liners - to reduce accoustic effect if you can stop the sound hitting the drum (metal skin) then it won't be transmitted into the vehicle. Basically place the accoustic liner between the noise and the skin of the vehicle....

Hey mate thanks for the comment - I didn’t think about that one! It’s one of those things that you could just keep going with, I am happy with the dampening effect that has been achieved so far. If I was building again I would do the whole firewall as well.

How much do you think the total weight is that you added in deadening?

Exactly 18kg - 6kg per pack

If you don't need them, taking the snorkel and rack off will reduce your sound and improve fuel economy. If you need them though, keep them there. Smoother tires and lowering the vehicle will also help.

So after all this time how well did it help with keeping heat out in summer and heat in in the winter

@4wdAdventure

Thanks for the question. I don’t really have any measurable data in regards to temperatures. I think the dark tint plays a big part in keeping the cab cool in summer. I definitely noticed a different in temperature coming from the trans-tunnel and with less heat emanating from around the gearstick into the foot wells. I guess adding any extra insulation would help with temperature retention, but I find the aircon unit in the landcruiser very efficient in all conditions anyway.
