neat, today I learned!

and that does make sense, the interior did feel a bit more "airy" with the doors sound insulated, a bit hard to describe

I tracked subs for 20 years so we dealt with sound pressure a lot
 
Finally, after many moons of putting my mountain bike on the inside, I have installed a bike rack

Bumper: Dobinsons with dual swingouts
Rack: 1up USA heavy duty rack
Hitch: found this on etsy: High Clearance Hitch - Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/listing/877793399/high-clearance-hitch

The rack took a little bit of modification to allow the swingouts on my bumper to still work

The problem:
The right arm in this position cannot rotate any further to the left, which blocks the spare tire from swinging outwards

The solution is to remove this corner with a hacksaw:

That allows the right arm to move just far enough to the left so the rear tire carrier can swing outwards, and the trunk can be accessed :D

Finally installed a new winch, the old one gave up the ghost at Relic Run (saving a beautiful aqua 40 series)
Replaced the old winch with a Warn Evo 12k

Ended up needing to get some spacers made up via send cut send (Needed 3/4" of spacing from the front bumper, so got 6x 1/4" spacers cut there)

Actual install of the electronics box was a bit more of a PITA than anticipated, ended up needing to loosen the front trim piece by the winch.
