    Busy weekend ahead.
    -Return line for PS was split and I lost all my fluid so thats getting fixed.
    -while im crawling under there I’m debating wrestling the diff out and re-sealing my oil pan. Theres a significant amount of horsepower sweat leaking out of there. Im hoping its just the pan and not the rear main
    -Also getting the 4wd j shifter fixed thanks to @Uphillshunter for sending me the replacement.
    -and putting a new passenger door handle
    Theres alot more to be done but those are the priority Items

    Back wall is one of the most important areas. I did floor, back wall, doors, and roof. Well worth the effort.

    does the back wall eliminate driveshaft and rear axle noise?
    are you running some kind of recording studio in your truck :confused:
    the only noise i have really is from the engine compartment through the firewall
    but i have other noises that i do not like that popped up on me recently :mad:

    one of them may have been recently eliminated but the jury and test driving is still out. waiting for an uber windy day and do some more testing

    Just quiets it down in general. Mostly it was to cover up the road noise of aggressive mud tires, and a somewhat loud exhaust (Magnaflow).

    Mine has super quiet tires and stock quiet exhaust and still has lots of road and wind noise. The first gen Tacoma does not have much sound insulation from the factory. But sounds like it is good enough for you but not good enough for some others as they want to make it quieter. How weird huh?
