Not yet, i ran out of the siless foam material, but i should have another shipment in a day or so.
The siless will help insulate the cabin,and block some of the noise. I did use the felt on the plastic due to its weight, I've used the killmatt and felt in my modified raptor and it helps a ton, this is the first time using the siless, but based on how she sounds on the installed parts vs bare... well worth it. It's also water proof and won't absorb any water in case it gets damp inside.
Since i haven't done the doors yet, the wheel wells are a huge bang for the buck on the 2 door. I have not gotten a 4 door stripped down yet, so the structure maybe a little different. In hind sight, next time i remove the rear panels I'm going to seal up the cavity with a cover and insulate that as well, that should just about eliminate all noise from that area.
One reason I really want to see the decibel readings too, because the top disguises a lot of body noise.
Holey Stripped Bronco's Batman!!!This weekend i decided to tackle the higher than used to road noise levels on our 2 door. After gutting the interior i am surprised that other than the carpet there is nothing to help keep outside noise at bay.
Taking the interior apart was fairly easy and took under 2 hours to get it done, after a good cleaning of all the panels it was time to lay some killmat down followed by some silex foam, and some sound absorbing felt material on the plastic panels and wheel well cavity. The rear wheels line up pretty close to your ears on the 2 door, i was surprised that there is nothing there to help with the road and tire noise. All the panel clips were lines with tesa tape before reinstalling. I still have the doors to get done(ran out of material) ,but even now the drop in road noise is very noticeable, and the bronco feels more solid.
As long as we had the interior apart we also replaced some of the speakers, the B&O is lacking and the Infinity speakers made it sound much much better.
Overall a good rainy weekend project
Cost+scheduling time, getting this done quickly for a road trip in a couple of weeks.
It may not be that bad. We have been driving a gen 3 raptor lately and it may have us kinda spoiled with how quiet it is.
I don't find mine to be loud at all. Do you have SAS?This weekend i decided to tackle the higher than used to road noise levels on our 2 door. After gutting the interior i am surprised that other than the carpet there is nothing to help keep outside noise at bay.

Yah I could see that be louder than my outer banks non SAS
Did you weigh the amount of material you added to the truck?This weekend i decided to tackle the higher than used to road noise levels on our 2 door. After gutting the interior i am surprised that other than the carpet there is nothing to help keep outside noise at bay.
