It's all precut and marked as to where each piece goes. I needed to trim a couple of pieces to fit the side panels. They do a fit at your home if you prefer.
l have to say, l don't hear any whine on our Gen 4 Jimny.
lt's a 2020 one and has done only 3,000 miles. l didn't feel the need to add any extra sound insulation.
We took delivery of our gen 4 two Saturdays ago, the gear whine was the first thing I noticed - it's not a "bad bearing" whine, but it is noticeable, especially if you're coming from a second or third gen GV.
Hey, I have the same and this is kinda obsession for me, so the long story short, after 1k km I’ve changed ring and pinion to 4.625 (HF) after that noticed this weird sound, not sure whether it was before or not. I can hear this noise in between 40+ to 60+ and only when I release the throttle. Do you have the same behavior?
Now I also install reduction gears to t-case (15/104)
T-case became louder, but noise from t-case not so unpleasant as this whine noise when I release throttle.
Tried driving without front/rear prop shaft, so without rear I can hear this noise permanently (just in between 40 and 60)
Any ideas?
If you have changed the ring and pinion and are getting a new noise it's likely because the mesh pattern and or backlash is wrong. Did you set it up yourself or have a shop do it? It's not just a matter of swapping out of old for new, there's tolerances to observe.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

It wasn’t me, but guys quite experienced, today I’m checking without rear prop shaft, and now I can hear this sound permanently ( without releasing throttle) between 45 and 60, so can it be diff? I’m about to buy the new (used) one, but right now not sure for 100%
