A nice clean sound deaden job is a must for a tailgate install, it cleans up the inside, isolates sound, but the best part is that the shiny backed stuff really brightens up the black hole and helps you find your stuff when you need it.
I've posted info on the different materials out there in a handful of threads, but I'll re-post some of it here and open it up to advice from anyone else as well.


So, the first question I usually get is "how much?"
For a 60 gate, 6.75sq' will cover.
The 80 needs about 7.5sq'.
Give or take depending on how nice of a job you do.

You'll have to get your own ruler out for the side panels since the amount used there will depend a lot on the installer.


My personal experience is limited to the cheap stuff since my truck is a rust bucket. Depending on the condition of your tailgate, you may want to spend less or more on the sound deadener.
If you want the best cheap option, this works great.
You can also order it from Aubuchon online here.

I keep some rolls of the 6" wide stuff in my stash, I can set you up with some and send it along with your tailgate, about $10 covers it.
The stuff is good, sticks great, and works. But it is asphalt based and not very technically advanced. I have it because I can't justify spending 5 times as much on something to stick to rusty metal.

If you simply want the best, these guys seem to be the source of choice.

And this is a great explanation of what is the best and why.


If you've had good or bad experiences with other types, found you needed way more or way less, feel free to post up with any comments.

With the installation of storage panels we are orphaning a lot of factory side and tailgate panels, some of which might still be in decent condition and could use a new home. I hate to see stuff go to waste.

Storage panels aren't for everyone, so if you have available panels left over from your install, post them up here.
And if you are looking for a set of panels, post that here and some of my customers might be able to help you out.

Some things to keep in mind if you are looking, or looking to get rid of panels:
Your location?
What year and style of truck?
What color?
And what price?
