    I want to dynamat my access cab but I'm not sure what kit to buy. Has anyone done this and want to share which kit they bought? The prices for this stuff varies and I want to make sure I get the right thing. I plan on doing both sets of doors and behind the back seats.

    Tips? Pics?

    We use it in hot rod builds and works well. Comes in rolls, not aware of any kit or anything specifically designed for these trucks. Checkout Dynamat.com

    There are cheaper options out there that work just as well. Brands like Boom Mat, Shock Industries, Dynamat and Noico are basically the same material.
    Different configuration and intended outcome, but same effect you are going for most likely, this might help:

    I just spent $400 on the rear section of my 2016 Tacoma Double Cab and notice very little if any improvement on road noise. I do have the JBL Sound System and the bass seems much tighter and no rattles anywhere, but my main purpose was to reduce road noise. I used Dynamat Xtreme on the back cab wall and floor followed up with 1/4" Dynaliner on rear cab wall and floor. If I were to do it over, I would save the $400. At this point, I'm going to use Dynamat Xtreme on the doors followed up with Dynaliner to see if that helps. I know it's a truck, but using it as my daily driver for work it's sometimes annoying using my phone with background road noise.

    I did most of my floor with Dynamat and then I used the full gambit of materials from sound deadener showdown and came to the same conclusion, it may have helped a small amount, but from a purely decibel based comparison, it didn't reduce the noise much, if any(disclaimer: I have aggressive MT tires). Once you start tearing the interior apart you will find that the vibration dampening products won't help much at all, most of the sheet metal structure in our trucks is well designed with very little resonance-prone flat areas. I also have the MLV and CCF, it it doesn't seem today have helped much, I still have some material left and intend on using it, just trying to plan out where I can get the best sound deadening from it. I have basically done everything too, doors, floor, roof, back of the cab, if I was to do it over again I would pass on the sound deadening endeavor and spend the cash elsewhere.

    Dynamat is meant to change (lower) the resonant frequency of sheet metal to reduce buzzing/vibrating under high powered bass notes usually around 40-80hz range. It does very little in terms of reduce overall cabin noise. This has been a known fact for years, I used to be heavily involved in the car audio scene during the early 2000's, the shop I worked at was honest enough to tell customers unless their covering every sq.in of interior sheet metal it wasn't worth it.
