Sound and heat insulation options - Update for 2020

[overlandtlc]

Hi All - This is my first post and will clarify that I have used search.

I'm currently working on building / restoring an FZJ80 I bought last year (more on that later as it's getting a full repaint), and was curious to find out if any members had experience with sound and heat insulation alternatives. While I've seen that many members prefer Dynamat / Dynaliner (such as the amazing build from @Overland Tailor), I wanted to find out others' experience using and applying other insulation brands and materials. I noticed that @citadel used SoundDeadenerShowdown.com, but that individual has now retired. I've found a few on alternatives on Amazon that look promising, have great reviews, and are much less expensive (Doico, Kilmat, Mat66, and uxcell to name a few).

Any help / guidance would be appreciated as I'm looking to get this 80 back to where it belongs - rock solid reliable and on the trails.

Thanks!

I used this: E/O 12 in. x 15 ft. Self-Stick Foam/Foil Duct Insulation-FV516 - The Home Depot

Seems to really reduce the noise and heat through the door panels. May not be as good as dynamat or similar products but it works well, is light weight and inexpensive.

I used noico Noico Solutions official site - Sound deadening, deadener, noise insulation I installed the 50 mil sound deadener (they didn’t offer the 80 mil they have now) and the 150 mil insulation on my floor. Overall I’m happy with the product. I will use it again on the roof when I do my headliner. If you haven’t done it already use dry ice to get the old sound deadener out. It makes the job so much easier.

Thanks @Pascoscout and @voodu3. I'll check both of those out.

Sound Proofing

While we wait for our engine to come back from the shop, decided to do some of those "like to" mods. Here is one we did with high cost, high tech material. We used the space age material Frosting King self-adhesive duct insulation. There are a lot of threads in a lot of forums on sound proofing...
