Dynamat on the exterior door skin (about 60% coverage) resulted in marked decrease in cabin noise. One banana job.
After that, I dynamated the trans tunnel, Drivers side firewall and under the seats on the floor pan. I didn't cover or remove existing sound deadner. At the same time i did full floor pan and firewall with thermozite. Tedious but easy. That really cut the noise down. Now I want door seals, tires that don't howl, tail gate that doesn't rattle. It's quiet enough that all that stuff is now the new objective. Not sure how much of that is the thermozite. But I'd say a significant part. I'd do thermozite and door dynamat if I didn't already have dynamat.

@The Machinist used some deadener in his 60
I saw on one of those car resto shows, air con duct insulation. Cheap! Ill be using this, and makes sense that it would work for both noise and heat

Dare me.
Looking at this stuff (frost king duct insulation) now on Youtube. Cheap and covers both needs, sound and warmth.

What I can not tell is if the frost king is stinky like the peel and seal. And seems the youtube videos vary on how good they hold up over time. Saw one that was total anti peel and seal. Personally yes, I am cheap and if I can get a deal and not spend an arm and a leg and have it last a number of years then I'm happy and then I have extra money for the "more" important needs my 30 year old truck will most definitely require. I did find the resto vid of the stuff Summit sells but it appears to require the extra step first of painting on a glue which comes with its own pile of cons. But if folks have opinions I would be sure to consider them as others are as well.
I used Fat Mat. It is a cheaper alternative to dynamat. I just ordered Amazon.com: Noico 80 mil 36 sqft car Sound deadening mat, butyl automotive Sound Deadener, audio Noise Insulation and dampening: Automotive for the 80. On the 60 I had removed all the factory sound deadening for some welding and transmission hump remodeling. My biggest gripe now is my exhaust is too loud. I also used the bubble wrap sort of looking reflecting hot water heater wrap on the tranny hump and along the PS floor as that is where my exhaust runs.

I figured since I'm yanking the seats as soon as I recover from the last battery of repairs, replacing them with the corbeau Moab's, -I wanted to wire for a new stereo anyway so I'd pull the carpet and just do it while I have it open.
I wear earplugs and roll the windows down. What squeaks? What rattle?

I never thought my 60 was that loud compared the the FJ40.

Problems that have been stated with the heating/ac ducting tape/insulation is the fact that they are normally tar based adhesive so if it does ever have to be removed it is and absolute PITA. On top of that if you are in a high humidity area or high heat area they are supposedly notorious for smelling horrible and coming undone. Will that stop people from using it, absolutely not, but there is always a proper tool for the job and the proper tool always has the requisite price tag associated.
i used frost king -- repaired all rust, fresh paint, frost king on floor and doors. cheap and made a difference.
How is the Noico working for you? Reviews say it's good but can have that rubber smell. Thanks!
Hi, One set of our 62 doors have Dynamat . Its held up fine in Texas- Arkansas heat and cold. Mike
i have it on my truck. holy cow what a difference. i love it and would dont again in a heart beat. with a diesel swap it’s still more comfortable and quiet than before the swap.
Anyone do the inside of the hood of a 60? I would love to take off the crumbling fiber stuff that Toyota originally put there. I'm sure it worked at its time but now mines failing.

I used Noico and a wooden roller from a craft store. Very happy with it, No weird smell and the noise improvement was dramatic. Oddly, I did a decibel test before and after and it didn’t show marked improvement but cabin noise is more bass than treble if that makes sense. You don’t need to cover 100% of any surface to see improvement. Did mine in stages and had the most improvement from driver floor pan, rear wheel wells and inside the doors.
