2017 trd off-road. Been adding sound and heat shielding to the inner door. Plus sound proofing the door panels . Sounds pretty great and the door doesn’t have that tin can sound when closing or tapping it with hand . Next move will be to gut the seats and carpet along with headliner and sound proof that. Sorry no pictures . I can post some later .
