Has anyone hooked up some air horns to their KJ? Just for fun? Ive been toying with the idea and im wondering how difficult of an install it is? Photos would be great if anyone has done this!!

I had one in my Rubicon. Removed before I sold it and eventually will put it in my KJ. I have a compressor and 2.5 gallon air tank that I need to install first. The air horn is a two trumpet train horn that is about 18" long. Had it mounted under the hood pointing down. Putting everything under the hood of a CRD is a head scratcher at the moment.

i'm running the tiger tank and a 21" truck horn... install is pretty easy... just one thing to make sure it that you get a solenoid... you hook the soloid to the 12 volts and have that fire when the botton or horn is pushed... i dont think it sounds tacky at all.. sounds like a 18 wheeler coming at you haha

I'll have to look into a kit then. The stock horn sounds rather crappy.

I have the Hella air horns bought from Summit.com. I eventually ripped off the under hood padding and they sound even louder now.
