    Alternator Whine With New Head Unit

    Horn [this isn't another horn pin post]

    Hi!

    Ben, here. I'm brand new to the forum and to Land Cruisers. I've admired Cruisers from a distance for years and finally acquired my first one last week! It's a 1988 FJ62 with 174k miles. This will be a daily driver for me and I hope to do a [slow], true to original, restoration over time...
