My brother in law rigged one up for me on my dakota. I got a dual trumpet air horn off of a old 18 wheeler at the place i worked at, then I got a small air commpressor and tank that I mounted undeneath the hood. That horn was loud enough to almost cause a few accidents. but, I broke it in a mud hole after I hit a bump, unfortunately I havent replaced it. I would say that you could get yourself into some trouble with these.

*LMFAO* You wanna hear a story?!?! :rotfl: :rotfl:

We have air horns from big rigs in both Jeeps. About two years ago on a trip in Moab, we were driving along around Fins n Things I believe and there was a biker riding towards us in the sand. I was afraid he didn't see the Jeep and I didn't want him to run into us so as he got closer and closer I was a little cautious. I just slightly hit the air horn switch to warn him. When he heard that, he jumped straight up in the air and swerved out of the way, almost wrecked, and then rode past us. As we went past him, he turned around and flipped us off :fu: and being in sand like he was, when he let go of that handlebar, his front wheel turned real hard to the left and he flipped the bike! :rotfl: :naughty: He just rolled it in the sand so he didn't get hurt but I was laughing so hard that we had to pull over because neither me nor my Grandpa could sit up straight let alone drive the Jeep. To this day, it is still one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Anyway, yeah. Airhorns rule. *LMAO* :rotfl: :bigthumb:

I have em on my Ram. I got mine from JC Whitney. CHEAP! :bigthumb: They have a small compressor that came with rm. No air tank required. I wired em into my horn switch so I didn't have to do any special wiring or switching.
They aren't as loud as a big rig's horns but they're much louder than the factory horns.

I've got one mounted, it is loud. It came from a Kenworth. I did an install article. Check out the tech page.
