    That will be nice but I'm more excited about the noise dampening from the roofrack at highway speed.

    I'm assuming since you've done the roof you've done the doors and behind the rear seat cubby. Which do you think made the biggest difference?

    Oh, fair point. I didn't hear my rack (when I had it), after doing the roof. I have yet to do the floors, I imagine that will do away with the very light sound I get from the tires now.

    Rain on my '05 4Runner sounds normal. Rain on my '14 Taco sounds like it's a tin can.

    It's too early to say, and I only did dampener so far on the doors and back wall. I still need to add insulation to those areas. The dampener made a HUGE difference eliminating bass vibrations from the stereo, and the roof insulation made a noticeable difference in keeping the cab cool. Usually I have the AC cranked all the way to keep the cab comfy for me in +100º temps. This weekend I had it on low or low plus one and it was nice. I live on the North coast, and high temps are not something I'm used to, so I know it made a difference.
    The cab also seemed quieter to me, but someone else with more experience will probably chime in.

    Little bit of this and that
    Agreed, I don't remember my '03 4Runner or '06 Sequoia sounding this loud. Heck I'm pretty sure my '95 4Runner had better sound insulation.

    Great job. I did the samething, left the headliner in and dealt with it. Didn’t wanna fold the headliner to get it out. Once you the ceramic tints on, world of a difference.
