What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Placed a layer of Siless foam liner sound deadener on top of the Kilmat I did a couple weeks ago. At no point did I expect this stuff to be twice as much of a pain in the ass as the Kilmat. So heads up for anyone that does this, this shit sticks to everything the second it touches it! That includes your fingers. However, after spending most of today putting it in, I took it for a test drive to see how it did. This stuff made a massive difference for my truck. The Kilmat was really only modest difference. The Siless on top of it probably puts it at about 90% of how quiet it was when the seats and trim were still in. The Kilmat deadens the sound. This stuff actually muffles it. I still have yet to do the rear seat floor pans, but the underseat, back cab panel, under the tool bins and C pillars are all done. So, as much as it sucked to do and it doesn't look super pretty in a few spots, the end result was very well worth it.

[Edit]: For anyone that catches sight of my solution (attempt) at combating the sound from the cabin vents, those are just sheets of foam stuck together and foam strips formed into sort of cover. Air can still get in and out I left a small gap underneath. Seems to work alright. Just looks sketchy.

 

Comes in a sport in the states, but off-road in ca

 

Started the weekend regear project early. Rear done, installing the front tomorrow.

 

These showed up. X2

 

Was just looking at a JL 8" powered sub. Are JL Audio that good that they're worth $300 more than the comparable one from Rockford Fosgate?

 

I’ve always been a fan of jl. The clarity for me is where I think they shin. Plus the slim subs are great. That a 10tw3

 

JL's are really clean/deep. Focal subs are accurate, but not as deep. This little 8" ported RF sounds much larger than its size and will fit in the cubby behind the seats. The size of box, ported vs unported, wattage and ohm configuration play a bigger role than specific brands. For most ears subs are subs.

 

Yep, wanted an AC OR w/6M. No can do in SE USA in 2020.

 

That seems like a big job. How long did it take ya?

I wish I could do this.. but I'm probably just gonna pay someone to do it.

 

I appreciate the answers. I'm a hard rock / metal guy. Pop / rap are not at all my thing, so clear, tight, punchy bass is really what I'm looking for. So, sounds like I'd be willing to spend the extra on the JL.

 

First oil change today

 

What size is the spare and how did you get it to fit under there?

 

Looks great!

 

I have a focal 8 in my wife’s 4Runner. Great sub. But it’s not that punchy or deep. I have had Rockford 10s before and they definitely are punchy but not as crisp. I went with focal k2s for my mids etc as I do feel like they are great additions. I also listen to a lot of metalcore type of music and the tens are a great fit for that but also offer that deep I look for in rap

 

What’s the thing in the right? I’m about to di my first oil change too

Did the rear in 3 hours taking my time. Hardest part was carrying the diff assembly. It's heavy lol. I'm also a mechanic but any DIYer can do it if they have the tools. Doing the front today.

 

It's a 285/75r16. I relocated the hoist and bent the factory spare holder tabs. Also chopped the exhaust up to the rear axle.

 

Oh, nice. Yeah, the front seems like the problematic one.

 

Knob job
