Sound deading

Started doing my sound deading on my taco.



Installed Noico 80 mil and topped with Noico 150 mil mat.

I’ll finish to floor and back wall tomorrow then it’s on to the doors and new speakers.

 

Looks good. Exactly what I did and used. Love it. Be ready for some fitment issues when putting it all back together especially on the B pillars and door sill trim.

 

I recommend the roof as well. Didn’t realize how much noise (ie. wind noise) gets in there. And when it rains, or you go through a car wash, it doesn’t sound like you’re rattling in a tin can with a bunch of rocks.

 

Not sure if the 3G is the same as the 2G but there's a clip on the B-pillar covers that I couldn't remove without breaking and had to buy two new replacements. All the other clips came out fine but those two I couldn't figure out how to remove. Even after breaking them it wasn't clear if it was possible to remove without breaking them. For me the hard part to get to fit back in was the c-pillar covers. But then again I put a lot more product on the c-pillars and didn't put much on the b-pillars.

 

Lol and the carpet

 

I did the same on the roof of my Tundra. Difference was night and day. Highly suggest it.
I made mental notes of mounting locations then cut the deadener out at that area so the headliner and trim panels would fit properly. Used aluminum tape over where it was cut out to seal the edges of the deadener from contacting the plastic. Had some slight alignment issues with my overhead console, but everything else fit properly.

I'll probably do the floor sometime next yr.

 

I wouldn't mess with pulling the headliner. I attempted to remove mine a while back and gave up on it. Seems like these trucks are full of one time use pieces that break way too easy when removed. The doors, back cab wall and floors, sure go for it.

 

Go slow and persistence

 

I completed the floor, back wall and all 4 doors. It was a long process. I did have some issues on the B-Pillers but cutting the factory felt back resolved that one. The sills I may have to do the same, but they are on pretty good now.

One thing I had to do a little research on was after all was back together, I had a <!> on the screen when the cameras were engaged. To resolve that one, I simply started the truck, put in in reverse with the brake applied, turned the wheel all the way to the left waited a second or two and then all the way to the right and waited a second or two. Magically the <!> went away.

We were out yesterday and boy what a difference in the sound inside the truck. And the new speakers sound great. Not going to do the roof right now but maybe in the future I'll do it.

 

Oh damn, this looks nice... and like a lot of work!

 

If anyone is doing there roof and you have a sunroof, don’t forget to close it before disassembling and dropping the headliner!!! Don’t ask me how I know this !!!

 

Umm…how do you know that?

 

Looks awesome! I`m working on mine now and pulled off window regulator for rear sliding window to get behind it and and I`m trying to find those blue tie strap clips and those two black ones on left and right side that holds cable secure but I haven`t had any luck. Those things would not secure good once I put them back in.

 

Anyone know if the rear window regulator can be retrofit into a 2nd gen?

 

Do the front seats need to be removed to get the head liner out? or can I just fold the seats back.
I've done everything Except the head liner......

 

When I did my headliner, I left the front seats in, but folded them back. Then I just lowered the headliner down and rested it on the seats and dash. Then I didnt have to deal with unplugging anything, or folding the headliner to get it out.

 

100% do the roof too and get some Dynaliner thermal/noise insulation too! Major difference I don't use my AC as much or as low temp/high fan speed anymore. Stay so much cooler and quieter in the cab.

 

Finished my rear wall this weekend. Noico 80 mil and topped with Noico 150 mil mat as well.

 

What's the recommendation for the rear cab vents? Blocking them off completely or going around them?

 

I don't know if there's a going recommendation, what I did is I took some of that dynamat Dinah liner insulation and kind of half close them off and the soft foam helps to reduce some of the road noise, but if you're putting your factory trim body panels and everything back probably just go around them but you definitely do not want to close them off completely, if you close them off completely it'll be a real pain in the ass getting the doors to close cuz the air pressure has nowhere to go to equalize those relief vents are also for the air expansion if your airbags ever deploy if you block them off it can blow your eardrums from the pressure.
