Turning the radio up is also a good solution to all of the other sounds you are about to discover.


Also if you turn the radio up you will be able to time your soon to be steering clunk with the music.

Glad you love your Rubi...

I'm a big advocate of less horn the better myself anway... More turn signals, less horn.

Enjoy your Rubi and don't sweat the small stuff.

Doesn't anyne here realize the JK is a musical instrument? You have to make music using the death wobble, steering clunk, horn and radio. You have to integrate it into what's on the radio. For example, let's say you're listening to Beastie Boys and the part comes where it goes "So whatchawatchawhatcha want." That's where you clunk the wheel back and forth to the beat at 33mph while the death wobble provides added percussion. And whenever what's his name on the BB is rapping you honk the horn to the beat. Passerbyes on the freeway get a free show! Just picture it! Top down, Beastie Boys basting, 33mph on the freeway "So whatchawhatchawhatcha want" honk honk clunk clunk death wobble death wobble." Passersby thinking "WHAT THE F#CK?"

Welcome to Jeep!

People just generally get out of my way...they tend to drive small cars out here so I'm one of the larger vehicles on the road. But yes, the horn does suck.

Congrats on the Rubi! Great choice!

I'll have to admit that the stock horn sounds like a wet fart. Well, maybe not that good.

That is so true. I had a guy in some little foreign automobile pull out in front of me on the highway. Not too close, but close enough where he couldn't get up to speed without me slowing down. Well, I timed it to not slow down as much as possible. But, I knew in his mirror it looked like I was barrelling down on him, because he kind of started to pull over on the shoulder. It was hillarious. At no point was I too close in case he did something stupid, but I'm sure it didn't feel that way to him.

I think the horn sounds cute.

I've driven in Boston when I was there on business. You're right about needing a good horn.
