Shok Sound Deadener Gb is CLOSED but discussion is open : Pack size, h500 etc

Stereo sound quality: +20%
Road noise: -50%

It sounds like you did a stereo upgrade AND a suspension upgrade. Bass hits real nice with a good thump to it. On the road it sounds kinda like a Cadillac. Very minimal clanks and clunks from the suspension compared to before. I accomplished all of this with just one pack. I'd definitely reccomend it

 

Thanks! Mine is sitting in the box waiting for a day to apply. About how long for your application?

 

If anyone is wanting another batch opened up, let me know. Post and indicate how many packs your interested in.

 

3 sheets behind the back seat, 2 for each front door, 1.5 for each rear door. The stuff is kinda difficult to get to stick if you are doing this in the cold (we did it in 25-30 degrees) it gets a lot easier if you have a hair dryer or a blow torch to heat up the sheets before you try to apply them. Or just bring out one piece at a time from indoors. The warmer the sheets, the easier they are to install.

And watch out for papercuts!!

 

Took me and @3378jakesr5 about 3 and a half hours, but we could have done it faster if it wasn't so cold out and we could get the sheets to stick properly.

 

Yes, @Tacoma SS Generally your supposed to heat ALL Deadener up while you apply them to get SOLID ADHESION. Like with all deadener; even though the Shok deadener has one of the best adhesives on the market, you should still heat it up as much as you can.Most deadener i have tested barely stick when its below 15c. Be very careful though, if you heat the deadener up with the wax paper still on the back, you stand a good chance fighting with it to get it to come off

 

After all the cuts and blood every where he does not like the quality and said he would give it all to me!

 

I think you need a pack or 2... I'll take your leftovers to do my floor and or firewall

 

What left overs!! I want to pull my liner and put it there so I don't have to here the whistle of that box on my rack.

 

I did mine, put Shok Sound Deadener down first, then covered that with ensolite foam. Did the floor, back wall and doors. Made a big difference. Didn't take too many pictures, too busy "doing". Didn't know about the benefits of heating it up and was a little chilly when I did mine, but I think because I cleaned each section well with Windex before application it has held up well. I cut it into strips the right size (about 10-12") to allow me to only deal with one direction contour at a time. Used a rubber install roller to make good contact for adhesion and the handle of a screwdriver to press into depressions. Tip for cutting it, I laid it on a piece of plywood before removing the backing, then used a 1x4 piece of aluminum as a straight edge to run my razor knife along. Hardly got any cuts.
Will probably finish by doing the roof sometime here in the future as I think I have enough left, but haven't felt it really necessary to get acceptable results.

 

^^^^^^^^^

You are going to love that .
Nice job !!!

 

How much would I need to do a whole 4Runner

 

Depends on what you mean "whole"

 

Ill have to wait to hear back from another 4 runner customer on how many he used but generally, what i recommend is to measure the square feet of the doors, floors, rear cargo area, the rear door, roof or what ever areas you want to do and then you will know how many SF you need. The doors take 1.5x the Sf each you measure roughly because of the inner and outer skin

 

Full coverage on a tacoma is roughly 100-120 Sq feet, id assume the area behind the back seats would easily eat up another 40.

 

Thank you. I do love it. Did it last winter. Made it so much better that now I am going to put on a slightly louder muffler so I can hear when to shift easier.

 

Since there is current demand i feel we can open up another deadener Group buy. Lets make # 8 a good one. Same rules applies as before.

 

2 packs, please for the upcoming group buy!

 

What is the deadline for ordering?

 

well i try to help people out as much as i can by doing multiple batches. Generally i let the batch run 1 week or once we hit 7 out of the 10 target per batch. Right now, i think it looks like we are at 4-5 packs ready to go
