Train Horns

Finally got my train horns installed....these things are killer loud!

Way louder than my first Hornblasters set on my '97. The wimpy Ford horns just don't cut it.

That's cool! I thought I heard something up here in Ontario, Canada.

I would love to put a pair on my truck but I would probably wake up the polar bears.

How much does something like that cost? Parts?

A few pics of the install. Horns are mounted under passenger side doors above the AMP Steps. Compressor and tank mounted in bed, ahead of passenger side wheelwell.

There have been a few times I wish I had train horns. They would probably just get me into trouble.

The horn on this truck is wimpy for the size of the vehicle.
Nice upgrade.
Cirrus is right, I'd probably just get in trouble.

Just make sure no trains are in the station, one might fall off the bridge!

Good idea

Thanks. I already need to modify it a bit to clean up the install.
