Train horns

Post by Raptoracer24 »

I'd really like to get a set for the Bronco. Problem is, don't know a lot about them or which companies are good. Can anybody recommend a good set? I want it to be pretty loud. Probably 3ish horns I'm guessing. What are some good companies for the price? Thank you.

Good times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icnRMW6P9nc
Always thought it would be hilarious to do that. They have the kit they're using linked in the vid info: "Go to http://hornblasters.com to buy one today! I am using the Shocker Classic 228VX Train Horn Kit"

I've seen big air horns at the Denver 4 wheel parts. I'm also guessing you could find something entertaining at a truck stop.

I've heard they can be pulled off of big rigs at u-pull type places. Any of the locals have semi's that you guys have seen?

My ears are still ringing from Zilla's air horn(s). What ever he has is more than enough to scare the heck out of anyone who dares to cut you off in traffic. Anything more is likely overkill.

They are OK but nothing like a Train Horn baby!

Hmmm so where's the closest locomotive u-pull?

Zenzone has a place where they can be picked up for next to nothing. Try PMing him.

I've looked on 4-Wheel Part's website as well. Most I'd be willing to spend is about 250, maybe 300. If I can wait til October for my birthday my parents might help me out with the ones from the vid.

Zilla's is totally TRAIN HORN loud !

Zen's is more brassy / lower pitched !

I am wanting to do something similar but am looking for something different than the two unique trend setters above.

I am researching an option but keeping it a secret plan so nobody steals my idea before I can afford to do it.
