i have really been toying with this idea in my head the past couple of weeks. i really miss my horn and would like to put a system back together since i traded OBA for an IC.

have you gotten anywhere with this?

how do you know the size motor to get? (match GPM's? max pressures? ect)

anyone really sharp on their hydraulics?

No, because I am still driving the Bronco II and haven't found a full sized <- 1983 4x4 Bronco yet WITH a title that was driveable for cheap money. There is no room for the pump unless I put it under the body. I was going to do this in my 4x4 van (behind the 3rd row seat) until someone dropped a tree on it and I had to sell it.

If I do it I will post pictures for sure.

Too bad yo udidn't live up near VA, I have a late 80's Bronco I want to unload that lived a life as a state truck, so it is a no frills truck. I got it from my uncle to use as a mud truck project, but have gone another direction. All the truck needs is a rear axle as the 8.8 had some bearing problems and messed up the housing. I also have a Sterling 10.25 that would go nice in the truck. but then you would need to swap in a D60 up front so everything matched......

PM me if you are interested in it....
