I had there setup in my old ram. I loved it! They were LOUD! I had the three chrome train horns that are mounted to a plate and have the air valve on it. I ran a larger tank which made them louder longer.
I'd hit em going under an overpass and it sounded like an amtrack train going by. Scared lots of pedestrians with them! It was a fun time In my life.

These are some of the funnest mods you can add to any vehicle I've seen them on cars truck big trucks everything! I had them on my Z71 an when your having a bad day or if someone pissed you off you can just ride around for a minute an BLAST somebody. Doesn't get much funner than watching the slow people in Wal Mart parking lot drop there groceries when your behind them an blast off!!!!!!!!! MUST HAVE ANOTHER SET

Like the idea on how you mounted the horns, but where did you put your tank and compressor? I'm somewhat handy with this sorta stuff, but my skills are in other areas of the jeep, not necessarilly hooking up a air tank with a compressor and horns and toggle switches.

Don't have pictures but, the compressor is above the rear axle mounted to the tub. The tank is located on the crash bar behind the front bumper, for now. I plan to move it once I get my BFH. Most likely will use RiverRaider AirTank Evap Skid.

There are several other spots for mounting compressors on the JK, the most popular is next to the master cylinder, but that is where my ARB compressor is for soon to come lockers. Or some people have put them in the passenger taillight housings...

Now, stupid question.... With the tank in one location, the compressor in another, and the horns in yet another....is there enough wire/hose to accomodate multiple locations? Plus, I'm not sure if I heard right but if you mount the compressor under the tub, won't it get all the debris from the road and stuff and eventually seize the compressor?
