    So i know this isn't exactly the right forum for this so if you are one of the people that gets butt hurt by posting in the wrong forum go ahead and skip reading this. Don't complain later if you choose to read on. Several people have read my post in this forum and asked questions about the hella horn install. So a couple of things.
    Mounting - use the bracket that comes from hella. Use the bolt from the toyota horn. I had to rotate them apart slightly.
    Electrical - use the stock connector. It doesn't have a positive lock. So that should be considered. I rotated the horn so the plug stays in pressure. Use a 1/4 spade connector for the ground. About 8" inches of wire. A 5/16" ring terminal will fit to the mounting bolt. Done. Hope that answers everyone's questions.

    Did you use the relay that is usually in the kit? I recall installing some supertones in my Subie a while back and they had a relay in the kit as well.

    The yellow ones don't need the relay. Only 3.5 amps per horn. The factory fuse is 10 amps. The red horns are older technology and do need the relay.

    Quick Question for you gen 3 Owners!

    I own a gen 1, My dad has a 2019 tacoma. I found a great deal on a ARE bed cap in the same color and bed size of his truck. Its coming from a 2016 Tacoma, will this fit his 2019?!

    Thanks

    I installed the Rexing V1P 3rd gen front and rear dash cam. Amazon has it $30 off right now. Same deal I got plus I just did a review and they gave me an extra $20 rebate. Has 18 month warranty. Had it for about a month and love it so far. Easy install. Wires tucked in and used a harness that plugs into my mirror for power. Comes on when truck is started. Can also wire to fuse box and run it all the time if desired. Shapeways makes an adapter that mounts to the dash cam and gopro mount if you have one. Very pleased so far. 20191228_134113.jpg

    It should fit. I don't own a shell so someone correct me if there are any differences.

    Overlays would be easier. I did see some overlays somewhere, maybe Amazon, that were around $40-ish I think?

    Yes it should fit. Assuming they are the same cab structure as well. Access cab won’t fit double cab, etc.
