i think its the best damn upgrade yet, not quite but up there. took 15min. fit in stock location wires done my old man said it would take all night. but as soon as we started we were blowing out eardrums. its so sweet! my friend was leaning on the hood, and i said yeah hold on let me get a smoke and blew the hell out of horns it made him fall and bust his elbow wide open, sad but oh so sweet! best $20 bucks ever spent!! oh yeah reason for replacment mud in the old horn so...

 

what kind of horns did you get? where did you get them from? my only fear of getting new horns is that they may not sound cool. i don't really want a "toot toot" sounding horn. i'd prefer something along the lines of an Oceanliner, or an 18 wheeler.

i at least need something that will go over the sound of my stereo. the other day, some lady started slowly merging into my lane. i kept honking, and she just ignored me. i actually had to drive almost completely into the shoulder, so that she wouldn't hit me. apparently, she didn't hear my horn, or she really didn't care. regardless, i'm banishing her and her family to hell. :grin:

please let us know what kind of horn you got, and what type of sound you get. i'm glad that it was only 20 bucks, and it made that much of a difference for you.

 

Screw the pics! Where's the sound clip?

 

This is what I did:

I've since swapped out the tank for a larger one so I get a nice 30 second blast before dumping the tank. I've also since upgraded the air compressor since I wanted to be able to have on-board air for airing up after running on the trails. And, I'm now running at 150psi.

One of these days I have to get a soundbyte.


Corey's also running a horn setup like this, and the last I heard he was working on a 4 horn setup!

There're a couple of aftermarket write-ups in the tech section:

i got them at my local advance auto and i think to be exact the were $24.99 comes with 2 red horns compresor, lines, splitter, and relay incase your car dosent have one the guy at the counter said just plug it in your yota has a relay so thats what i did. I am sorry to say i dont have the 18wheeler, nor the tug boat blast mine sounds more like a 6 month old baby screaming at the top of its lungs!!! :cry: it sick and nearlly defaning you can hear it a 1/4 mile away literally it was tested by me and was a sucsess its crazy. they were just jeneric what the hell horns i decided to get b/c my regular horns keep dying.
all i have to say is do it!

 

Never in my life have I seen anyone so excited about tootin' their own horn.

 

 

hehehe, nice 96...

I agree on a horn upgrade. There was nothing more embarrasing than honking at someone that cut me off with the stock horns. Those things are worthless. If someone has their stereo on, they won't even hear them. My dad had some old masarati racing horns left over from an old Jag and so I put them in and wow! I have the trumpets mounted in the tjm where the winch goes so they are right there and wow! I want to get some bigger truck trumpets to lower the "fruit" factor, but everyone will hear me comming!

when you beep at someone with these it makes you feel like you got some balls, you know its manly! i mean what the hell is a big truck with big tires without a big bark? come on do it!
