Soundproofing?

Re: Soundproofing?
Your LLE already has a lot of soundproofing, the cab floor, passenger floor area and continues outside underneath the rear raised area above the gearbox and the engine inspection hatch. The D pillar areas and between the roof and headliner also have enough soundproofing.

Re: Soundproofing?
I know it’s got all the factory stuff but at full chat it could be better.I know it will never beat a modern car but was thinking of what others have done to improve theirs.

Re: Soundproofing?
Add weight to big drum-skin panels with a heavy butyl or flashband etc., to change the resonance, then add something soft to absorb sound as well (and provide heat insulation if you so wish). Wind noise is also useful to address, especially round the door closures in the cab.

fitted in addition to the factory seal on the front and top edge of the door had a big effect on mine.
Or just drive faster and leave the noise behind…
