Default 150db Air Horn!

Ok, my 99 has a really wimpy horn, well.. HAD!

I put this 150db 2 trumpet air horn with compressor under the front fender. I wired the relay off of the existing horn, so that when you push the horn on the steering wheel, they both go off. Stock first and about 1 sec later, the train is coming down the tracks!

Got to test it out today too.. it works GREAT!





found on wish for $25





installed nestled into the front bumper.

Yeah I hear that.. the set up I have was one of those dont think just buy... You have the horns now,, save up for a small air horn tank and run it to the horns. But hell what you have now is not bad better then the OEM horns..lol

Good location for your horns,,good job. They wont get water and road junk shoved down them.


Tip for ppl installing air horns.. If you have to put them under the Jeep/rig
Make sure to face the horns down a little so water can drain out if it gets in, Or face them backwards.
