    UPDATE

    Just to note there will be an increase in cost due to the rarity of these horns and higher overhead and productions cost.

    My first group buy was a trial run to see if this was a worthwhile endeavor; there was a lot of room for improvement both logistically and financially but now that I've gone through the process I am working on refining how these will be manufactured and sold. Factoring in the cost of finding these horns, refinishing, fabricating brackets & wire harnesses, and shipping cost account for a much higher overhead for me.

    The increase is nothing crazy - It will be completely reasonable in line with the labor and effort put into these.

    I designed this horn system with the 1st Generation Tacoma in mind but I am adapting it to be easier to implement with other generations and even other vehicles.

    The only true "plug and play" system will be Setup #1 on 1998-2004 Tacomas. All other vehicles will require some kind of imagination on exactly where and how to mount them. As always the wiring harness will be ready to go, but do keep in mind you are only limited to how you mount these.

    That being said I have a customer putting a custom order in a 2017 Tacoma, and another who put a Setup in an early 90's Toyota pickup. Other examples include a 2000 Mercedes-Benz E320 and a 2004 Chevy Suburban.

    Starting this group buy I will be sandblasting the horns instead of painting over the factory finish for a better end result.

    I have received an overwhelming interest in these horns and I'm looking forward to working with the TacomaWorld community. Stay tuned for updates on the Winter 2017 Group Buy.

    I know that I would pay more than I did for these. @BartMaster1234 puts serious time and effort into each and everyone of these. Detailed instructions(with pictures thankfully), relay, wiring, fully painted bracket, horns and all the hardware needed for the #1 set up. Seriously, great job on these!! Once he starts the Winter Group Buy don't hesitate because they will go quick.

    That’s a lot of Cady’s that are missing their horns!

    I like the newer connection so you don't need to worry about ground! I'll take that type if you have the connectors.

    I think ACDF with the sealed 2 pin connector is the absolute rarest horn combination out of the bunch. I've searched hundreds and hundreds of cars and only found 2 or 3 complete sealed pin version horn setups.

    Lots of folks making their first posts in this thread lol.

    Also there doesn't seem to be a "list" until the GB actually opens.
