    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    So many brands of the stuff now. LizardSkin, SoundSkins, Dynamat, it's all high desnsity vintl or butyl right?

    It's some spray on stuff. Been looking around and not finding to many reviews. Wondering if anyone else tried or looked into it. Since Monte does a lot of research on stuff I figure I ask. And he brought up the topic.

    never heard of it.

    Yeah its mostly MLV or butyl.

    To me the RAAM audio stuff is still going to be a better choice. I'll be doing that but getting MLV for the floor.

    Enough to make it a lot of fun!
    From our trip at the beginning of the month he loved the sound deadner and loved the seat for wheeling but found it a little stiff for highway driving.

    Love the sound deadening. That was very much worth wile.

    Not sold on the seat yet, but that might be how I mounted it. The bolster in the front of the seat bottom drives me crazy on the long highway drives. Offroad it's awesome as I'm not getting thrown all over the place. Might try lowering it and/or tilting it forward, but I'm rather disinclined to mess with it right away.

    Yeah the stuff I used was just foil covered butyl, don't see any significant difference between it and Raam audio or dynamat.




    And one shot I tossed together from this trip:

    great to hear. Will be doing that pretty extensively myself this summer.

    The Ensolite matt from RAAM is what is different. Makes a nice aborsion layer ontop of the matt you install for mid/high freq. the butyl stiffens up panels to decrease resonance.

    I put closed cell foam over a lot of the butyl.

    Roof is completely covered in the butyl and foam. Didn't do anything with the dash.

    That's my favorite of the batch too. I don't pull out the 75-300 lens very often, but I'm usually happy with the results when I do.

    Sold the topper, although looking like I jumped the gun a bit on that one.

    Builds character sleeping under the stars. Plus when you finally get your new one you'll be super happy. All in good time. On another note. The trip looks awesome. Wish I could get time away for things like that. Glad you where able to share the photos.
