Mounted my Fiamm triple air horns vertically behind the radiator so they do not collect water mud etc. compressor is in the stock horn location. Just try and keep the hose from the compressor to horn as short as possible otherwise you will have an annoying delay. Don't forget to use a relay as the compressor needs more power than is good to run through your steering wheel button.

I know this answer - The A$$h0le that drives 5 miles under the speed limit in the fast lane or the person that cuts you off because they don't care about anyone but themselves. Oh and of course as you pointed out, the person with HID bulbs without new housings that can direct the light properly without blinding the oncoming traffic.

This will be mission number one to add to my rubicon when I get it. I took my train horns off my truck when I sold it, and the wife says they go on the jeep asap.

Mine are genuine 1970's era Leslie 5t's straight off a locomotive.


I'm thinking placement will be on the rear tire carrier, and a fake tire cover made to hide it.
