Those do sound great, what model did you get? Holy sh!t I did not know these existed... Those look amazing. Edit: I found this video, they also sound amazing

Small and dumb but I found these Hella horns for $30~. The old horns were crusty and I'de like to restore them, tried these out in the mean time. Sounds the same to be honest, and I need to fix the bracket angle (I don't know how they torqued them so hard I gave up). Atleast they're shiny and...

Yours turned out great! Took mine to Maaco too, knew there was a really good one about 2 hours south and I took a gamble on the closer one (super new facility). I had some major problems when they gave it back, but the owner actually reached out and fixed the situation. Wish I had gone to the...

I get 3d printers are exciting but you started a thread pretending to solve a problem but really selling a product without being a vendor. Given, this is $70 and doesn't even have any form of tension arms for varying cup sizes nor any rubber on the drop-in insert to prevent it from partially...

Thanks, I edited my post to omit the swap - I didn't pull the horn relay and confirm so my bad. I just ordered 4 more of the denso ones you posted so I can replace all of them and not think about this for the next 10 years.

So same problem, same hot climate (I'm in Austin too), same part. Interesting. I did see the mention it could be "something else" i.e. fuel pump or wiring related, but given my previous relay was manufactured in 2011 - that means the first one lasted about 17~ years and the previous one is on...

The 80 was dying after 20-30 minutes of being warmed up and driven around. There weren't any codes (OBD1) being stored. It would die even when in motion on the gas, then crank but not start. Checked battery, etc, and after 10-20 minutes it would start back up but not drive for long. Long story...

I was inspecting all battery power cables and they are all looking pretty bad - to the point I'm not confident in driving this across country again. For $200~ I was able to pick up a complete kit from big7kits specifically for the 80 series in 1/0. Shout out to these guys I can't wait to install it.

How much does the boat + trailer weigh?

Transmission + Rear Diff + Front Diff + Transfer Case fluid change @ Toyota. One weird thing is they wanted to change the timing chain tensioner for a whopping $489... I have the hydraulic version so it's just two bolts, did it myself w/ a new gasket for $80. I don't see how they can charge 1.5...

The under-dash tweeters and 3rd row pair fine. I popped off the covers and they look... newer than normal for 30 years old, but not aftermarket. New speakers sound great, better than the old Kenwoods it had ( same as here but age / weather got to them: 80 Series Speaker Upgrade - The Final...

Fit these 5.5" Infinity speakers in all 4 doors. Fronts clear the dash by a playing card. Tight fit🍑 Note: It does clear the chrome trim on the front door Parts list: Infinity Primus 5.25" 2-Way Speakers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CP5TFRW?tag=ihco-20 Silicon Baffles for water...

Perfect, thank you all - I checked for zipties and didn't see any so I just ripped the thing out from the bottom. Worked great and nothing seemed to have broke... Big thank you. A simple but nerve-racking fix.

Thanks, do you know if it's best to pry the mirror out from the bottom or top?

This is a weird one - I looked up a lot of posts here and every YouTube video there was. Going to remove the glass so I can disassemble the mirror - I noticed there is no screw for the glass which seems to secure it inside the housing: Maybe this one fell out, I checked the other side - same...
