I added about 60lbs to my Tacoma, and will likely add about the same to the LC250. This new material is butyl based, and does not weigh nearly as much as the old asphalt based sound deadening material. You could take your spare tire off and that would take off more weight than the sound deadening would be adding.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. Looking at you in the hood and front fenders.
and to think all I need to do is turn up the stereo when the wife is asleep................just drove it home 375 miles last week and do not see sound as being a big issue................sorry but seems like another You tuber trying to drum up business.

I literally don’t care and didn’t ask for your opinion.

I’ve watched some of these videos and think they are both well intended and helpful. I appreciate his content and look forward to more of it.

I appreciate it! I do these projects on my cars regardless of YouTube. Just decided to start recording and sharing the process for those that are interested.
If you’re happy with how quiet or loud your LC250 is stock, then there really is no reason to visit this thread

Phenomenal project. Can’t wait to see the final results. I sold my 1958 mostly due to excessive NVH and didn’t have the guts to try a full tear down to insulate. I miss it and would love to try this on a used one down the line. Good luck!

Thank you! Toyota sparingly uses any sound deadening from the factory. So I'm hoping for even better results when the whole project is complete.
Ah yes, the good ol’ ‘turn up the stereo and ignore the problem’ approach, what a clever solution, well done.....and to think all I need to do is turn up the stereo when the wife is asleep................just drove it home 375 miles last week and do not see sound as being a big issue................sorry but seems like another You tuber trying to drum up business.
I for one appreciate these kind of videos as its something I'm in the process of doing myself and coming from other Euro cars, the LC250 is quite noisy.
Nice video! I’d like to do my interior so will keep an eye out for the rest of the videos.
Is there any concern with heat causing the sound deadening product to fall off? I did my taco a number of years ago and avoided the hood for that reason.

I just know, that if I take MIss Daisy apart to do this project, I will have parts left over once I put her all back together..
Then the same people will complain the tank is too small after adding a couple hundred pounds of stuff to the vehicle. Crossbar removal alone makes a big difference. Just seems like yet another example of OCD automotive...........What he has done he has done well. but...you wanted it that quiet, should have bought a Range Rover.
Reputable CLD manufacturers like Dynamat, Second Skin, and ResoNix (probably others) offer underhood material with high temp ratings. I would not be too concerned that they're all making false claims.

Dynamat Xtreme and Dynaliner can withstand temperatures as high as 300°F and as low as -65°F. I have had this under the hood of my Tacoma for over a year and it still looks good as new.
There are some vintage Land Rover guys that even sell precut kits with lots of coverage compared to what I did.

so.... i've completed the underside of the hood, mostly copied your approach, i only bought 1/8" dynamat though and need to drive the same road i took my baseline measurements to get a fair comparison.
but just driving near my home at speed and the averages from the app are lower by ~ 2-3dB
i'll share more updates as i get them, and i'm very curious to see how yours measures up once the doors are done.

Can you share a picture of what the hood under side looks like with the sound deadening?
it looks nearly identical to the OP's in the video.
Mostly under the hood cover, but you can see a couple small pieces
