    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    Horns take a lot of current. Even lightly oxidized terminals can be highly resistive, limiting that current. Clean the terminals on the horn with some Scotchbrite or FINE steel wool and WD40. Locate the horn relay and do the same there.

    Lots have. I for one added some Hella horns, others have added Cadillac or air horns. Use the search in the upper right and you will find several threads.

    I wasn’t saying that was a common issue, just that lots have upgraded for one reason or another. Just to clarify.

    I damaged one of my OEM horns, so bought these on Amazon. Very pleased! Great sound and only $20.

    The extended thread lugs are required if they suggest it. Depending on where you got your wheels, they are usually included free of charge.

    TVD Vinyl has emblem decals to fit fairly seamlessly over the TSS emblem - and they can be colour-matched to your Taco, or are also available in matte and gloss black. Just have to contact him, as they’re not available on his Etsy page.
    Mine should be showing up this week, in cement grey. Will post pics when it’s on.

    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    In the exo-burban area where I live, most other drivers feel the need to get right up on your bumper at stoplights. I can't think of one good reason for doing this, but I can think of a couple of good reasons why not to.

    I swear, one of these days I'm going to have something like this Smittybuilt thing welded up, only pointy-er ...maybe barbed.

    The description of this horn indicates in complies with "environment friendly decibel adjustments." Screw that!

    did you do the install? i just ordered the 4500 one. I've been reading about needing extra adapters for backup camera and steering wheel controls? What's your experience with that so far? Thanks!

    Hey - Yup, did the entire install myself. For wheel controls/etc, just get the Maestro RR (https://maestro.idatalink.com/product/product/product_id/102) add-on. If you ordered the 4500 from Crutchfield.com, you can get the entire harness & maestro all done for you, so it's complete plug-n-play. Otherwise, lots of wires lol

    cool, thanks. I did Best Buy :( but they will do the install. I'm wondering if they will take the adapter kit though and apply to their work. Might just return and do Crutchfield. Sounds like a smarter way to go.
