    I have other options to accommodate off road bumpers. Setup 2 or 3 are more expandable so you can put it anywhere you want

    I gotcha, there's just a not a ton of room up front right now and I don't feel like having parts lie around not getting installed. So maybe down the road when I have more time to tinker around with the placement

    I put you guys down on the list! Will be sending PM's soon.

    Sorry for the delays everyone, I'm a full time student so I don't have much time during the week to be on here.

    Sent a PM to everyone who has contacted me. If I have not contacted you yet, please let me know and I'll send you over a PM.

    I have around 6 setups left before I completely run out of stock! At this point it will be first come - first serve. These setups will be in the "2 Note - 4 Horn" variation. There will be 2 sets of the 'A' and 'F' horns together for a total of 4 horns, as I have run out of stock of 'C' and 'D' note horns for the (A, C, D, F) 4 Note setup. There is a difference in the tone and pitch, but the volume and sound remain the same to an extent. Every horn is different and will not sound the same. Listen to the (A, F, A, F) horn setup in the video below.

    Ok guys got my setup as I ordered mine 3 weeks ago before group buy and this guy has done a great job putting the package together with
    welding ,wires and relay, all you need,

    BUT if you have a 1995-1997 Tacoma with the square headlights the regular setup WILL NOT WORK,

    The location that the 1998 and up Tacoma s have is not there for the 1995-1997.
    On the 95-97 years the valance pushes right against the radiator bolt and can not be attached that way.
    Good news is if you cut the bar and trim the horns they will fit between the skid plate
    support and the cross support as shown. It's a very very tight fit, but will fit, have to make sure the skidplate bolts don't hit the horns, then screw from the cross support to hold the bracket and horns in place, bracket is on the back side of the cross support now.
    So if you have a replaced front bumper or off road bumpers this location Probably will work regardless.

    Looks like it will work, might have to trim the lower valance an inch or so between the skidplate
    underneath, not sure yet. But looks like it will work and will be nice and clean out of sight,
    Bumper and grill have to come off

    Hey, thanks John for posting about your experience!

    Just as I was expecting Setup #1 will not fit on 1995-1997 trucks due to the decreased valence clearance. I made Setup #2, and Setup #3 available to fit this application perfectly since you have more diversity in where you want to mount your horns. But as you can see, if you really wanted to you can fit Setup #1 in a '95-'97 truck with some modification. If you order Setup #1 for your 1998-2004 trucks you will NOT have to modify it in any way like John did as in the 1998+ trucks the valence had much much more room to allow for the clearance to mount Setup #1 - in those trucks all you have to do is bolt it to the vertical radiator support lower bolt (as you can see in his pictures)

    I have four more setups available in the A, F, A, F horn variation! PM me if you are interested! After they are gone I'll be ending the group buy and reverting to normal pricing once I find more horns for you guys.

    To all those who have placed an order you setups are coming along. I called my local welding gas supplier and it turns out I can't get anymore C25 gas for my MIG welder until further notice since all of the Argon supply is going to Texas and Florida to help with the Harvey/Irma relief. I may end up just bolting them to the brackets instead of welding them if I can't acquire any shielding gas.

    Got it all done, radiator support and skid plate upper support is the place to put them as the sound is outside and not trapped
    in the engine area,
    Didn't have to cut the valance, just super tight fit, you can see horns are behind and to the left and right
    of the license plate

    Hello everyone, just an update. As you may see the end of the group buy was 9/16 - but I still have 4 more A, F, A, F horn setups in stock. As I said I would be ending the group buy will be either when time runs out, or I run out of stock. As so the (4) remaining A, F, A, F horn setups will remain the $100 GB price I quoted.

    For those who ordered, I have a majority of the wiring harnesses finished. I have had trouble sourcing C25 shielding gas for my welder due to the Argon supply being rationed and sent to Texas and Florida for the hurricane relief - the lack of gas thereof is why there is some delay in getting these out to you guys. I'm going to keep calling around and seeing if I can find a source who has some supply.

    I am expecting to have these done within the week. Thanks for your patience everyone.

    Hi Tyler,

    Late to the party, but I'm in for setup #1 if you have any left. Let me know!

    I sure do, but I only have A, F, A, F note horns left in stock. All out of A, C, D, F. Same volume and pitch, but different tone. Still pretty damn loud and a huge improvement over the stock.

    (3x) A, F, A, F setups left! The $100 Group Buy pricing is still in effect until these are sold.

    To everyone who ordered: I'll be calling AirGas again today to see if they have any C25 gas in stock for me - a majority of the Argon supply is again being sent to Texas and Florida for hurricane relief so I've been having trouble sourcing any for my MIG welder. Hoping to have all the horns welded up or assembled this weekend. Harnesses are all done.

    I'm in for setup #1 as well if you have enough. AFAF is fine. The alarm I have installed uses the trucks horn so that too sounds pretty lame.

    Something about passing U.S. sound regulations, or something like that I'm guessing.
