I remember in high school my buddy used dynomat in his civic. It worked well.

I just got these KM2s but I have a feeling that I will go with guard dogs after these. The BFGs are too expensive new and since I am getting used to the drone of MTs I will not be afraid to go with those next time. I am also thinking about soundproofing the cab. I would go with a mat-style product, but it is so expensive. I read that roofing cement works great and you can do it for like $10 but have to endure the rubber smell for a couple days. I think I can put up with that in order to save over $400

If you liked the BFG A/T - Treadwright has that identical tread pattern. I think they're called the wardens.

10 bucks but you would have to take out all the seats, carpet and headliners. that seems like a lot of work no? And if you dont have the plastic rivet pullers you could break the tabs and then need to replace them too, that is if our trucks have those fragile plastic rivets holding things to the body.

I think they do have those. But you have to remove the carpet and all that if you are using the cement or if you use sound-deadening mat. I figure if you have to do the same to install either way, might as well save the money.

Yeah, dynamat is incredible, but it also is the $500-$800 method of sound deadening. Can't find the thread that listed the prices of soundproofing mat materials that ended with a guy who competed in stereo competitions that said the roofing cement was the way to go. I will keep looking later.

Hoyal · May 8, 2013

Yeah he did the comps which is why he did the dynomat. No rattles at all it was nice.

I was talking about the KM2s but I did have the BFG AT KO and I did like them, in fact I kept my 265s for a set of tires during the winter next year to save the wear on the KM2s. Might end up selling them though to help pay to regear and get a front locker in one day.

I have to sell my limited slip diff too. Any suggestions on how much I should ask? I just put it on Denver CL (whoops, thought I was posting to FoCo) for $450 but not sure if that is hi or low...

What kind of spacers? I'd be interested if they are wheel spacers, six lug

DOT · May 8, 2013

I think the tundra is a 5 lug too

ToyComa92 · May 8, 2013

I think 1.5 spacers all around would be sick on my rig!

yeah, my brother used Dynomat on his car back in high school. great stuff it is expensive though. If you could get a hook up from a stereo store that would be the way to go!!!

True, i thought you were talkin about 400 for the install and product. If you have to remove the interior yourself and then spend either $10 or $400-$800 id go with the $10 and drive with the windows down for a while

Hubcentric or non?
I have some non hubcentric ones that i was thinking of putting on mine when i go to 35's. Not sure how the hubcentric works differently. Not enough experience with spacers.

The core price from ECGS is $450 so you are right in the ballpark for the rear third member.

I used Raammat for the rear of my Tacoma. It was very effective for cutting the road noise down.

However what helped the most was to put some foam in the vent that is in the rear of the access cabs. This vent helps with the pressure inside the cab for shutting the doors or ac/heat on.
Problem is location because all the road noise echos up between the cab and the bed right through the vent. Not sure if the double cabs have this vent.

Really your a 5 lug. I thought Tundra's would be 6 for sure.

Explain how the hubcentric work. Is the ring turned toward the hub and that keeps it centered?
Or is it turned toward the wheel and centers the wheel around the ring as if it was the hub? If so are aftermarket wheels setup for the exact diameter of the hub or spacer ring?
Wont the lugs keep it centered anyway? Does it help with stress?
Rear drums are flat anyway so would it make a difference in the rear?
