Q: What speakers would you recommend for a 1999 Toyota Tacoma?
I would like some to be better for Hip-Hop and loud Bass...

A: First you should consult www.crutchfield.com to see what speakers sizes you will need to replace your existing speakers with no cutting. I would then suggest that you get yourself some 3-way/4-way speakers from either Sony Explode, Pioneer, Or Infinity. All that I meantioned sound great with their speakers and have great bass quality. I would also suggest that you upgrade your receiver to either Kenwood, Pioneer, or Rockfort Fosgate with pre set amp, so you can get your heavy bass sound from the receiver as well.

A: the horns are usually located on the radiator support frame.if you look under your truck-in-between the front bumper and radiator support, they are usually located on either side ,sometimes both sides-if you have two-a low pitch and a high pitch . if your new horn only has one wire it is the positive wire and the horn mount will need to be attached to the metal body to get a ground.if it has two wires , you can attach it to any thing. hope this helps.also point them downward so water doesn't get in and freeze them up.

Q: Should i sell my 1999 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner?
i love that truck but i get so many compliments on it but i would like to to buy a new one, the truck is paid off but i dont know if i should keep it or not, i would like to have some suggestions on whether i should keep it or sell it for a good down payment on my new truck.

A: if you are going to buy a new one sell it now while the value is still good. You have an eight year old truck that the longer you hold on to it the less you are going to get for it. I have a 2000 and like the older body style better so I would keep the one you have but if you like the new ones go for it.

this is the only problem, the steering wheel is not locked it moves freely.
