Instead they rely on retardedly loud & obnoxious horns to tell the poor serfs to move out of the way, so they can proceed unmolested. Whaaat, me? Move aside? Slow down??? Nah - I'm bigger and badder & more impo'tent.. here eat this horn grandpa ... lol .... Wow.
If you need to use yer horns to avoid a situation, then it's your failure to anticipate and drive/react accordingly that's to blame.
Horn's a very poor substitute for driving as conditions dictate, or driving with skill, in general. But given the sorry state of driver Ed, I'm not real surprised .....
Try this: For a day/week, drive like you were on an invisible sportbike, instead of a 6,000 lb truck. Take note of how often you'd potentially feel the need to use the horn. Post back.
BTW - I won't even credit the weapon observation with a reply, it's that banal ... my god you've got some growing up to do, buckwheat.
Done here. Perhaps you should express your (?)views(?) over @ FTE where all the other impressionable retards live

LOL you guys crack me up on this website sometimes..... Black3 now I've really got to take a ride in your truck. Supercharged with a train horn.....fagetabout'it!! Got shoot me a call when you have time. As for me I'm trying to stick to cool and calm in my "old" age since following in the footsteps of my forefathers barely got me through my teens and 20's. I've found a few other outlets for now.
Last, that is a good point however about clearing animals with the horn. I read somewhere that like 300,000 accidents are caused by deer in Michigan a year? Holy crap, are you kidding!?

funny stuff... The comment from MGD about spray foam insulation reminded me of a few years ago while living in an apt complex. We had an A-hole neighbor that had a VW baha style bug with a big loud exhaust. Every morning around 5am he'd crank it up and throw several revs before heading to work. Being under a covered alluminum awning made it that much more intolerable. One evening, before the climax of this little story, my room mate and I left him a note on his window asking politely if could he please refrain from reving his engine quite so loud that early in the morning. The next morning he responded to our note with even more reving... It was on. That night, following a run to the hardware store and with my room mate keeping watch, I emptied a can of the spray foam into his vertical fart pipe exhaust. After the foam expanded it looked like a gigantic soft serve ice cream cone. It was a sight to behold. The next morning we heard him trying to start his car for what seemed like several minutes before he then unleashed one of the all time best, foaming at the mouth cursing, rants I have ever heard. We never heard that bug crank again. Not sure if he had another car or what but it sat there for the next two months until we moved out. I can't help but laugh out loud every time I see either a VW bug or a can of spray foam insulation.

LMAO !
Yup - nothing plugs up offending orifices like that stuff lol
Y'know what? I'm gonna carry a couple cans in the truck for said use.
Ya never know - I may just stumble across some capon with a set of these and perform a civic duty. This cruelty towards animals is over the top.
Hmmm... with a tailgate that swirly, one mark should be easy to spot ...

You know what you guys have a point. Sorry MGD but with all due respect I have to change my mind on this one. Except if I do a horn I'm gonna have a huge one exposed out the back, pack it full of rotten eggs and paint buttlips on the end for the little jagoffs that think I'm actually gone move over b/c they're riding my ***.

You people better read 2nd Leviticus:
"...and he who bloweth the train horn shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Varily, he shall walk in the choking dust and his mods shall be scattered to the four corners of the earth."

I got most of mine installed (mounting the hardware and plumbing) yesterday and today. I won't say it was an easy task doing this for my first time. Finding good mounting locations without fabricating custom brackets was a trick, and very time consuming. I landed up putting everything on the passenger side rail and frame.
Just the electrical is left to do.

It'll be within the next two months. I'm probally going to go with the Kleinn kit on Ebay for $380. I removed my spare tile a while ago so I'm going to mount it there or in and under my toolbox in my bed. I can't decide. I figure the toolbox would be a little better for the elements but I'm worried about it making it rattle.

If you land up mounting the compressor underneath on the passenger side, I found a great way to run the snorkel into the the back of the cab behind the seat. A pro couldn't have done that part better!
