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!
@@GaryHaverfield It wasnt too hard at all, just removed the bolts that hold the rear seats in, the seatbelts, and popped off the shocks that are on the bottom of the rear seat bases. I had it all out in an hour or two by myself.
It might’ve been a little bit nicer to know where you were putting things not so much the nuts and bolts of what you took off and where they go, but I came to this video to find out where to put the material
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..)

Go to my next video with almost 7,000 views! It’s a 3 part series so it pleases everyone watching if they don’t want to watch an hour long video!

Great info
Next video on it will help a little more clear things up!
Do you ever use closed cell automotive sound deadening foam?
Not really, there’s not many places to put it that it fits or isn’t sticky to stay where it needs to be
