So I picked up an LX450 from a buddy who is moving overseas. Paid about $2800 in total knowing it needed some TLC. I've put that much back into it and now it's drive able and reliable. My objective is to turn it into my long range camping/exploring rig.
So the first thing I've had to get used to is the dramatic difference the ride experience between the two trucks. The 100 is smooth like butta, quiet and comfortable. The 80 is less like warm butter and more like crunchy peanut butter. I understand why the ride is a bit more "solid" but the racket inside is startling to me. To be fair I've removed all the rear seats, so I'm in an echo chamber now. And to that end I've ordered 80mm butyl, 150mm foam and some 3M Thinsulate sound deadening. I've pulled out the entire interior and am prepping it for this work.
My question is what are the areas I have to ensure I do to maximize sound proofing? Rear quarter panel cavities, inside the doors, wheel wells and the floor are all on the list. Just curious if there are spots or products you all used, or wished you used, please share.
Thanks
