Train Horns, whos got 'em?!
Train Horns, whos got 'em?!
how is yours set up? post pics if you've got them. I want to put some on my truck, i've seen people put the compressser and tank in a tool box in the bed but i don't want to have to drill holes in my bed. Is there a way to mount everything underneath the truck and out of the way? I'll probably have to lose my spare tire but i don't care about that.
I got triple omega horns mounted behind the front bumper at 150 psi. The compressor and tank are mounted basically behind my fog lights, I know this isn't the best place, but it's all I could do at the time and I keep telling myself to move them. I installed a rocker switch so I can change from factory to train and just use the horn pad to set them off.

Using train horns to blare false-warning scares is illegal. Using them to warn another driver if they are about to side-swipe you is NOT illegal. In fact, the F150 is considered by the DOT:
1. A truck.
2. A vehicle that can be used to haul commercial goods and services.
3. A vehicle that has a gross weight beyond 5500 lbs.
I beg to differ on the 3rd one... but yes, most F150's do have a GVW (dry) of 5500 lbs. Some don't however.

hmm..i would have never thought of putting them there...i may look into that
and from what i'm reading as long as i'm not being immature i'm fine....i think i can handle that.
I'm just tired of people not paying attention and almost taking me out on my daily commute, i think a few blasts of a train horn should do the trick...that and people illegally walking infront of my truck making me miss my chance to pull out into traffic ( happened earlier today)

I moved my horns to my roof rack and added a 5 gallon stainless steel air tank @ 150psi. Pump is a continuious duty Viair 480c (i think) Horns are from seige and everthing else is from hornblasters.
