I had one on this and it was a blast on the trail. It sounded like a damn Model A when I hit the button.

hmmmm, i gotta look for a new horn now that my coworker thought it was a moped the other day.
some of mine:
Humvee taillights for my flatbed (not done yet, need 12v bulbs)
early bronco tire carrier (not exactly plug and play)
countless sets of used wheels
ricer accent lights that made good underhood work lights
air intake tubes from various cars to complete the underhood plumbing of my snorkel
and i bought the exo cage off a wrecked rig at the boneyard.

hmmm, i'll have to think of some true plug 'n play mods from the boneyard....

I would have done the same, but my cd player has a nice blue back-lit clock, so no need for that in my case

I threw on a rear wind deflector on my hardtop to keep the exhaust out while the back window is down. I think I got it off of a 95 $runner, but any compact SUV should do as a donor. Keeps the window cleaner in the rain too.

Was just at a pick N pull this past weekend and picked up the 63" chevies. And also some big honkin' tow hooks off of the same 1997 1500 chevy. Here they are! Plan to put them on the front of my pick up on the frame right next to the front body mounts.

Not really. I mean it is a Toyota and as such is damn near perfect.

Not really a mod, but I scored an unscathed stock skidplate over the weekend. Might not be as good as aftermarket, but better than nothing.
