LandCruiser shells are very noisy from factory. So we fixed this problem by installing a premium sound deadening and insulation kit.
Keep reading below to find out more.
After the wagon was completely striped to a shell. We installed sound deadening throughout the wagon covering the floor, roof wheel arches and all doors. This step reduces the vibration in the panels to dampen all noise.
The second layer applied to the roof was a 6mm light weight acoustic and thermal insulation.
Some Key features to this product:
After covering the floor with stage one we applied a 8mm premium carpet underlay. This underlay is 2mm Mass Loaded vinyl upper layer, coupled with a 6mm closed cell foam to create the most effective means of acoustic blocking. Our flexible closed cell foam is water resistant and offers superior thermal insulation. Because we have molded it and glued all the joins together, the underlay can be easily removed after yourself stuck in a puddle and want to dry everything out.
During the Install we fitted a new amp and upgraded the speakers. All the sound deadening installed also helps to increase performance of the speakers. Using some of the sound deadening sheets we secured the speaker cables to stop them moving and becoming damaged over time.
This 76 series wagon is now much quieter and more comfortable to drive on those long road trips.
