As we sink into rebuilding the 60 series landcruiser, stripping the interior and doing extensive sound treatment is an important part for Jake. But can we make a 60 series as quiet as a brand new landcruiser 200? You'll see before and after tests to see just how well it goes!

I've been trying to put my finger on it this whole time why I enjoy your content. its because you seem awkward and completely confident at the same time 😆

[@Alex.G]

Even when that confidence leads to minor stuff ups 😄

gotta make mistakes to learn from your mistakes.

[@bjones5240]

its also because they are very smart guys. most other 4wd channnels are fkn idiots that are pumping people with advertising....

Fantastic explanation of sound deadening process. Love the way you went into detail, and showed the process not just slap it in and call it a day. Jake doesnt seem to be impatient when doin stuff, very meticulous. Great video. As recommended by intents.... i have car builders products on the way for the mrs, cant do the knock test as the police do not approve, but hopefully the louder she gets the better the car builders will work 😉😂

a good note is, when you're up to 26:50 drill some holes and add grommets for future wire runs.

[@Alex.G]

Absolutely! Or if you're super organised...plan the extra stuff you're gonna wire up, and pre do the cable runs 😁 not even Jake could be THAT organised though

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

I don't know if I like watching this series or not... I MISS MY 60 SERIES TOO MUCH... Noisy, uncomfortable, slow but totally reliable and it took us all over W.A. with a boat on top and a huge old caravan on the back. I think I drove further in that car than any other I ever owned.

[@renripari5514]

I nearly Killed myself Laughing when you said , " if you got a noisy misses , rap Her up in this ! " Nice Sence of humour 👌

[@olihaub]

For me the biggest difference wasn't the raw numbers. I did similar tests in my gq pre and post sound deadening and there was a drop of 5db across the range. However it was the fact I have gotten rid of a million little noises that made the real difference.

[@drtone]

dB is a logarithmic scale........a difference of 5db is perceived as 50% louder......thats significant.

[@LTZ_Z71]

5db is roughly a 25% reduction in perceptible sound. That is significant! Well done

[@hanzo52]

I would think the roof liner would also decrease high-frequency noise. It seems like the most noise comes from the wheels, so the wheel wells should have extra attention in sound deadening. The fewer knobs you run on your tires, the less noise as well.

[@hc7217]

Do a weigh bridge comparison

[@liampoor9699]

Hahahaha, i literally started sound deadening my 12ht 60 yesterday. Got the roof done and there is a massive difference!

[@Alex.G]

Oh shit hey! The timing is perfect 😄 yeah that roof...they really didn't put a lot of work into acoustics back then.

Ohhhh yep kinda like the floor was in this one. Tricky! With the dash we do have it filmed, mostly timelapse though. Absolute bitch of a job. I'll clip it all together as a separate video but it won't be as comprehensive as this video was.

Ear muffs whilst using the vacuum cleaner made me laugh way harder than it should have.

[@AX3L87]

Cool, I was actually on a long drive today wondering what I can do to cut out some of the road noise. But most of the noise was coming in from around the doors and the windows. I've already dynomated all the doors and fenders and rear floor and put foam down too but I've still have to do the roof and backseat to front area. I wonder if now gaskets around the doors and windows will help with my problems. I myself do not like the loudness and love the quietness of my newer daily driver and am determined to try to achieve the same for my FJ60. Nice video.

[@jakethomasgarner1886]

I would say definitely sort out your door and window seals. The fact that you’ve already treated the door surfaces would make it easier to hear the results of any imperfections in the door and window seals.

[@matthewburgess7734]

@@Alex.G yeah i'm thinking doors and wagon area for a start!!..

[@PaulCoetserBalie]

very very nice! I'm considering the same thing for my isuzu. It is very noisy inside. Just one thing I'm very curious about. How much weight did this add to the car? Are we talking 20kg, or 150kg? I have heard rumours it adds a lot of weight. i.e 180kg, but it does not sound right to me.

[@jakethomasgarner1886]

We have added about 15-20 kilograms in this vehicle.

[@PaulCoetserBalie]

@@jakethomasgarner1886 , thank you. In that case, it is worth it.

[@MrStoniejackson]

If anyone needs to remove glue use diggers adheasive remover it comes in a gel so it sticks to the surface soaking the adheasive just wipe off. Soooo good

[@q8seven]

wow amazing job

[@Alex.G]

Thanks!

[@Bruceillest101]

It would actually help a lot if you guys sound proofed the fire wall and the hood of the car and added extra thick carpet foam on the roof and floor. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. The engine of the car vibrates the whole car causing everyone to vibrate. It would also help if you added extra insulation strips down where the drive shafts and transfer cases are located. One thing to keep in mind is the bigger/more the windows the vehicle has, the louder the road noises will be. Thin glass doesn’t to well in reflecting sound. Try tinting your windows. It helps a bit but not much

[@mickwolf1077]

You did a beaut job on a beaut rig 👍 Got a few q's, Did the dash end up quieter after reinstalling it? my 62 rattles and squeaks some on rough roads. Did you have a snorkel on it or are you installing one? Has this cruiser been with you or in your family since new? Garaged? Cause it looks new. And what was that light next to the cig lighter? My donor Hj61 has one around there but dunno what it does. Lastly you guys made a top quality instructional 😁

[@jakethomasgarner1886]

Hi Mick. That’s a number of questions😂 The dash/firewall noise penetration is definitely less. The only engine noise you can hear now is the A/C evaporator drainage hose which lets sound in from the outside and resonates inside the evaporator/ air compartment. Plenty of things that can be done about this but it’s not loud and the 12ht engine is a beautiful sound to me.

[@jakethomasgarner1886]

This HJ61 was imported to Australia in 2005. The JDM landcruisers always seem to be in excellent condition before they get imported to Australia. It has been in the family since 2007 and hadn’t had a whole lot of love so I was glad to get my hands on it. It looks good from a distance but has a bit of rust in a few places which we will eventually sort out.

[@mickwolf1077]

Nice, I'm glad she's getting love now, I agree the 12ht sound great, like a truck. Mine is ok for rust but in the cab mount hole on passenger footwell is bad for some reason.

[@ajcamperspantry5069]

Great result.

this material will not kill the noise , you need spongy foam mostly over the wheels and it can not be very tight its need to be hollow inside

How much weight did the soundproof material add, what were the total costs, and the approx time taken to complete the whole job?

[@jakethomasgarner1886]

Roughly $500. 15-20kg was used. The under-side of the bonnet (hood) has not yet been done and that would possibly use a further 3-5kg.
