    I posted earlier about my windshield mod (rock). I noticed this morning, I no longer have my AT&T Wi-Fi (paid yearly). I have Wi-Fi, it’s active but not in truck.

    My question, is the Wi-Fi antenna in the upper black are of the windshield? That is the only logical explanation for me.

    What is the lock mechanism in your picture of the backwall behind the back seats? It's not a tailgate lock with some really long cable is it? I'm so confused.

    Thanks. I need MORE coffee.
    So - you are a firm believer in the application of sound deadening material to create a quieter cabin.
    I presume you did not apply material to the roof, nor the floor.
    Everyone claiming a swimming pool noodle helps a lot, suggests the back panel of the cab is something worthwhile if one is doing the doors.
    I wish someone would see what results can be obtained, just applying the material to the back wall...

    It truly surprised me, considering the amount of plastic and seat cushion that already blocks the back wall. Correct, I have not done roof or floor, nor do I plan to. I just wanted heavier doors so that the aftermarket speakers had a solid base. (Little point in upgrading speakers without giving them a fighting chance to perform, IMO). Just doors and back wall killed a good 50-75% of wind noise, with the biggest improvement still being the doors.

    Sounds like a good excuse for a dual battery setup. Last time I accidentally left the lights on and drained everything, I just popped the hood, flipped the lever to manually bridge them, and jumped myself.

    You want to add another amazing addition, albeit a pain in the butt one, I put in a directional barrier for road noise in between the cab and bed under those rear vents. It's angled so that water still just hits it runs down without issue, but it force road noise to go around the corner a bit. It had more of an impact than the butyl that I had previously done.

    Installed 5100's on all four corners with a 1inch rear block this week. Fronts set on 4th notch for 1.55" lift. Happy with the results.

    you could just stick a pool noodle between the bed and cab. Cheaper and probably more effective. you can always do both.

    The noise is caused by air that comes from under and creates a vortex in the space and pushes the flaps up.
    Toyota already seals the sides and middle door gaps with rubber to eliminate that.

    I went with the matte black decals. It looked too naked without the decals on it for me. The black ones kind of ghost into the MGM at certain angles.

    That probably would have been much easier than the process I did. What do they do? Just shove the noodle up from underneath?

    Love Yokosuka, I was a young sailor on the tugs there in the 70s. Twenty years later I was a Chief on that same tug, only at Bangor in Wa. Thanks for your service.

    Took my time and watched a couple of youtubes to reassure myself. Spent 15 hours over 2 days. Got the carpet nice and clean too :D

    That and getting all the things plugged back in was my worse fear. Took my time, organized all the parts. Not that bad. Just overwhelming to look at...
