    I've used two apps on my phone (both called Sound Meter) and have gotten about the same readings. I haven't verified how good the apps are against a meter I trust though.

    Note that normal conversation is about 60 dB and a motorcycle engine running is about 95 dB. Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing. Loud noise above 120 dB can cause immediate harm to your ears.

    Has anyone added louvers to their 3rd gen? I live in a desert (we hit 114 this summer and 120 last summer) and on top of that, I have a Magnuson and the truck is black.

    Needless to say the engine bay gets VERY toasty. I'm looking at some off road specific louvers and wanted to see if anyone else has done this to get some inspiration and confidence for taking a grinder to my hood.

    Yep, WeatherTech in-channel. Love them, have had them on all of my vehicles. Only thing with these, I found that the rears weren’t staying in with the “spacer” provided by WeatherTech, but was easily fixed with some 3M tape.

    Oh look, another mod....
    Instead of louvers, why not swap hoods with someone who has a sport hood? You can easily turn the non-functioning hood scoop in to a functioning hood scoop with every little modification. I think it's about 1.5 inch x 14 inch opening.

    That would give you a lot of air into the engine bay to help with cooling.

    You can add them for only around $500. I also need them to fold due to the tight garage entrance.

    Things are way too bright anyways. I have V1. It's cool if you drop something, but if you even try to look at it, you'll be seeing spots for an hour. Same thing with the map lights.

    Save money, just put in some nice VLED bulbs and be done.

    Mounted a front runner Jerry can in the back of the camper shell. I’ll be building a 12v shower and I added a on/off valve to the Jerry can as well as a quick release hose so I can run a hose off the tailgate and never have to move the Jerry can when out camping. I’m hang The shower head on that hook which I bolted to the RTT and hoping for some hands free showering.

    Forget lining your RTT with carpet tiles!

    The ultimate setup is using closed cell foam.

    here are the specs below:
    • Closed Cell Foam: OIL and Waterproof LINER closed-cell polyethylene foam is the best for car, Siless with an adhesive layer 100% ensures optimum efficiency and thermal insulation that could be possibly gained. The price of 1 sqft of Siless Liner with similar characteristics is more then three times cheaper! Excellent quality for less money!!
    • Heat Blocker and Vibration Deadener: Effectively blocks 98% of radiant heat transfer. Siless Liner is a very versatile insulation material with excellent thermal barrier properties that will block engine, exhaust, & summer heat, ensure your vehicle stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, making your ride more pleasant!
    • Lightweight, Waterproof: It is a waterproof light-weight thermal deadener with highly compressible closed cell foam formulation, it absolutely doesn’t absorb moisture and has no odor, and it’s flexible which make it easy to install with or without roller.
    • The operating temperature of the material is the same as of the rubber foam up to 215 degrees Fahrenheit.
    should be a rad setup. I’m going to also put DEN-DRY mattress underlay underneath my mattress as an anti condensation mat.

    Purchased a Vevor diesel heater and did some mods to it. Stoked for this winter season.

    check out the video I made on it.

    Road tripped to Bend, Oregon for the CVT outlet sale and got a sick deal on a Mt.Hood RTT. The wife and I spent a night out in Oregon.
