    XP PKG-black step bars, black maverick(?) wheels. all OEM now but planning on a few small touches to make her more personalized, nothing too big for now. very happy with it so far.
    Am I too late to update order? I think the 4 horn version of the Eldorado tone AFDC? would be fine with me if not too late. I guess I'll see what invoice coming will say. Thanks.

    These are the invoices for the Summer group buy, ordering was completed a few months ago. If you are interested in the next group buy it won’t be until December.

    If you are a summer group buy customer, you should be getting your invoice by the end of the day. They are getting sent out in batches.

    Everyone should have their invoices at this time. I have extended the due date to reflect the new deadlines.

    If you have already covered all outstanding charges, please disregard this deadline. Your order will ship before the end of the month on the dates specified.

    Please check your invoice carefully and make sure I have all your details correct, including your name, horn tier, and bracket type. If you have not recieved an invoice, or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to message me.

    Thank you everyone.

    @BartMaster1234 I'm on deck for the 8 horn set up but I noticed in the invoice it states that it comes with a 20A relay wire Harness. I thought the 8 horn came with a 40 AMP harness? Text from invoice below:

    American Auto Horns System — Tier 3 "The El Dorado" ACDF (x2)
    8x Delco-Remy Horns (ACDF), 20A Relay Wiring Harness, User Manual & Quick Start Guide

    XP PKG-black step bars, black maverick(?) wheels. all OEM now but planning on a few small touches to make her more personalized, nothing too big for now. very happy with it so far.
    I was waiting patiently, but Have not received invoice.

    However, I did not explicitly say "add me to the list for..." so, I am not sure if I am "on the list". I might just need to repost and wait for the next round. I made a comment to follow up with my "interested in an Eldorado setup (paraphrasing)" to say maybe the 4 horn setup ACDF is sufficient. How difficult (room-wise) is the 8 unit setup in the Gen3 Tacoma. Seems like there is acres of room, but don't want to assume anything without firsthand knowing what there really is to deal with space-wise and for the wiring connection/harness.

    Thanks

    I have a bar going straight across in front of the radiator with all 8 of mine. I borrowed the concept from @TSki
    I arranged the bracketry a little different so I have 4 sets of 2 going across the front. But the end effect is the same.

    Dennis, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding but this is for the Summer group buy. I won’t be taking orders for the Winter group buy until December.

    The way we sell systems work on a “first come first serve” system since we have limited stock. The other folks here can chime in how how exactly it works.

    Thanks for the write up. are there 2 sets of "ell" brackets at each mount point? hard to see, but it must be the case (logically)from what can see here. Has anything started to rust or would you recommend painting the threaded rod/ nut setup (guessing it is not all stainless)-never seen ss threaded rod (at HD or Lowes anyway) -thanks again

    In my setup, I used some heavy duty brackets from the hard ware store. Much more heavy duty than needed, but they were the right length and width for the application. I have no signs of rust on mine as yet, but its only been a few months. When I drop the bumper to mount my winch, I will have to fab up some new brackets to prevent interference. I will be priming with self etch and then painting the threaded rod and brackets at that time.

    Here are some pictures of mine. I used a couple of pieces of strapping with pre dilled holes to elevate the threaded rod above the height of the radiator support.

    I have since changed the mounting angle of the strapping to raise the threaded rod a little higher. so now the bottom of the horns is right at the level of the opening between the bumper and the grille
