I found a newly wrecked Crown Vic and the horns are reasonably better. PIAMM is the brand name.
Good idea
My 91 horn is pretty weak, it dang near sounds as wimpy as my motorcycles horn.

I like my little weeper horn. Weep weep! So non-confrontational, but still enough to get attention.. Just does it without inciting rage

Jenny Jenny Jenny you're such a girl


It's more about making sure you get someone's attention. All the loud music, GPS systems, texting, talking on the phone, and just plain old bad driving going on these days is ridiculous. (I'm not against loud music while driving but some people just can't seem to do it correctly)

I got a pair of decent bucket seats out of a '95 4runner for my '82 longbed 4x4.

The rear brackets needed new holes about 3/4" further back, and the inner front mount needs to come down about a half inch, but otherwise they almost fit perfectly. The rear brackets I'm going to modify to sit back lower in the rear too.

The seat bottoms unbolt from the frame making it possible to run two passenger side seat bottoms, which are always less worn. I've swapped the passenger side to the drivers side for now.

I'm going to eventually upholster these grey seats to blue to match my interior and dye the plastic trim parts blue from grey as well. The pair only cost about $70.00 and the truck is so much more of a pleasure to drive now that the seats aren't killing my back, I should have done this with my '83 right off the bat!

I'm glad that people are using this. It's probably the best thing interior wise I've done to my 4runner. I use it almost everyday

It's a great idea!! I used it but had to remove it for the time being. I used some gorilla glue so it stick to the bottom of the bezel. Worked like a charm.

Haven't installed it yet but grabbed a fusebox out a 1998 Cherokee to use as an external fusebox/relay holder. BleepinJeep has a video on YouTube.

This came from a friends garage rather than my local PickNPull, but I just put the chrome rear bumper from a Ford Explorer on my 94 truck. Once I trimmed some excess plastic shrouds off it fit great. The brackets were the same spacing but the wrong bolt holes, most of you guys could probably drill new ones but I had to just weld mine because I raised my bumper to match the body lift on my 2wd. The best part is that it is solid and i no longer have to worry about the bumper corners folding into my bed corners!
