So I found a used Semi truck air horn and mounted it where the normal horns go.
Wow that's loud!
But I think it bounces off the ground and back in to the cab...

So I put it under the bumper, it should make a good bug catcher.

It is nice when Mr or Mrs bonehead pulls in front of you for no reason, now maybe it will be louder outside than inside!

Anyone else have air horns?

Yep! Used it a few hours ago when in my subdivision I'm making a left turn at a 3-way stop intersection and an oncoming brain-dead Nissan Maxima driver blows the stop sign and makes a right turn as I am about halfway through the intersection. I guess she couldn't see me, you know these GMC's are practically invisible. She heard the air horn!!

How about something like this:

I think there are one or two folks who have installed Nathan airchime's on their coaches. These are train horns and can be heard forever!

I thought about putting them on the roof.
But then I'd have to put a hole in the roof and run an air like up there.
They do look cool tho!


And the train horn! Holy #$%^& amazing!

And just LOOK what I found after I watched Gene's posted URL.

This is a REALLY neat video!

Could the first picture be our dearly beloved "Ornamental"
(whom I have never met yet)?

I cracked up on this one....bounced off the road back at the cab.....I'm dyin
here !!

I plan to install one, as soon as I get an air tank. Would be nice to have one
that was about 25 Gazillion Decibals for when you get behind those idiots that
drive slow in the left lane. Oh my pet peeve....better not get started on that
one, I'm leaving for Goshen in about an hour and I want to be calm.....I'm sure
Chicago will change THAT. LOL
