agreed. i did the front doors, the front wheel wells, the hood, the rear hatch, the front window swap. if it was straightforward i'd do more, but i cant imagine that it's going to move the needle significantly past that. maybe i'd do the rear doors just so it has a nicer clunk when i close it, but that's really it.

That looks like it would be substantially quiet, just don’t cross a international border, the dense meters would go insane and they might think you are bringing in drugsNow that I got my gender liner (damn autocorrect) taken care of I moved on to the rear quarter panels. I stripped down the rear trim of the car removing the floor, quarter panels, b and C pillars. There is a lot of components in the quarter panel areas (ac on passenger side and battery/computers on drivers side) so it was tough to fully get access. Removing the battery on driver side and the duct work on passenger gave you a bit of room. I added CLD for deadening as well as fiber mat for absorption to everywhere I could including up into the hollow sections behind the taillights. Pretty happy with how it turned out with a noticeable decrease in wheel noise from the rear of the car. The phone decibel meter only registered a .1 drop but it was raining out with a good amount of surrounding traffic. The lack of rear tire noise was a noticeable improvement.
Next steps are the wheel wells and possibly the hood.

Edit - The rear of the LC trim pieces were noticeably missing a lot of anti-vibration rings. I probably added 30 or so.
If attempting I would pre buy a bunch of the yellow hooks as they break fairly easily when removing trim.
There is a lot of room to treat the floor but I ran into a potential concern with the hybrid battery cable. I decided not to touch anything around the battery to limit the dealership trying to tell me the treatment was responsible if anything does happen before warranty runs out. Here is a thread abthe cable concern -
Hybrid Orange Cable Issue Help Needed
I was removing trim pieces in the rear of my car and noticed the hybrid battery cable looks like the protective orange sheathing is sliding down exposing the cables underneath. Is this normal looking? I tried to find info online and found a video showing something similar in the engine bay...www.landcruiserforum.com
Is the silver insulation material made for HVAC insulation?
I’ve used that before in other vehicles, and works very well much cheaper too.
Congrats on the new addition to your family! That definitely takes precedence.
Ok - I did a good sound damping of the rear wheel wells then as o did everything from the inside. You don’t have good access to the drivers side rear wheel wells due to the gas tank filler tube.
