My 2020 Jimny overlander build

The biggest mission so far was stripping the back and adding sound deadening and rear speakers (with the rear speaker kit).

I was also meant to do the reverse camera but I was over working at that point and held out to do that another day .

Looking good!

Welcome to the forum! your work so far looks very high standard. I'll be interested to see how the sound deadening improves the cabin noise as I've always thought the Jimny was relatively quiet to drive daily at motorway speeds (minus the engine noise). The only time I've noticed a bit of noise is when it's rained heavily and water is being splashed at the arches.

As you've gone through all that effort in the back, it may be worth sticking some rock wool insulation in the rear quarter arch cavities. That'll prevent any cold spot condensation and further improve acoustic deadening. A large roll of 100mm rock wool costs a pittance :side:

Thanks Dagzook,

Good advice!

I was thinking of something along those lines but didn't know what to get.

Yeah I don't think the floor area was necessary, I've only heard real noise from the wheel arches, which I'm sure will be louder off-road (gravel and sand). But I had it stripped and had the kit anyways, so did it.

I think I can hear a small difference, but I'll only truly be able to tell on the motorway or offroad. The rear speakers definitely improve the sound quality in the car, so glad I did it.

Well there you go, if you already had the gear it was a job well done as you needed to get in there for the rear speaker upgrade anyway. You can pick rock wool insulation up at any decent builders merchants or DIY store (B&Q etc). Cheap as chips, any excess from the roll just chuck it in the loft

That looks absolute awesome so far
