was thinking about relocating it into the engine bay cause if my bumper gets smashed I wouldn't want to replace the ball as well...any tips?

Very good idea. I put mine on the firewall but i got a renix so our wiring n stuff is different. Find someplace with room and bolt it on.

I used a vacuum can off of a Toyota, smaller, better shape to mount to the inter fender.

I have mine laying in front of the blower motor.I cut the hard hose & got a piece of scrap from the parts store & did a U bend back to the ball.

Been offroad several times & it does not move or have any issues just laying there.

With the vacuum ball. Do I just unplug the one hose that's connected to it? I don't want to break anything..

i unplugged both lines and bolted it to the firewall, zip tied all my lines out of the way took 5 minuets and dont have to worry about breaking it if i smash my bumper.

And what about that horn looking snail thing that's by the ball?

that should be the horn .... look at other side should be one there also

I rotated my horns down to repel water.I don't think it worked 'cause they sound water logged.

I would relocate them under the hood.

I cut my vac ball off and plugged the line.

Alright so I did it, relocated the vacuum ball to back of engine bay









Just need to do the horns, and yeah they did get water in them, don't really know where to mount them but will figure something out later on.
