I just put money down on a Xpedition XP5 Northstar today, hopefully it will be in within a month. I plan on taking the interior out everything but the dash and put fat mat and other sound proofing in. I think I am also going to put 1/2" gym floor rubber mats in as floor mats in front of the seats. I am thinking about taking the back panel out behind the back seat and applying a rubberized undercoating to the side by the engine and then fat mat on the inside, maybe a rhino line or undercoating over the fat mat to make it look a little better.
That’d be awesome, I even do both materials that I showed in video right behind the exhaust shield and it’s fine, I sometimes use sound deadening spray but try not to in areas that might flake eventually and look bad!
I use to own an OG can cam commander . Nothing was as loud as that machine. I did the sound/heat shield under all the plastics in the cab. Still had to use ear plugs . I ended up selling it and buying a can am defender . Very quiet machine. Unbelievable difference. I am really interested in the xpedition but would definitely pass if it’s stupid loud.
I have a sound proofed Defender and custom doors as you probably have seen in my videos but it’s quieter with my non seal custom doors than a sound proofed Expedition, I’d keep your Defender! Honestly is the quietest machine I’ve ever seen. (Reason for my custom doors is my riding style so I don’t rip off the factory 3200 dollar doors on trees..)
Great info
Next video on it will help a little more clear things up!
