    Pit bulls forever. Guy mentions on a podcast that he comes home to find his pit bull bloody, takes it to the vet and goes back home, follows the trail of blood, and finds an entire squadron of coyotes dead in a circle. Those yotes came to the wrong neighborhood. Makes me chuckle when WOLF NERDS always say “nooooo a wolf could TOTALLY kill a pit bull”. False. Wolves are pussy pack animals. Alone, they are skinny (with big hair) vulnerable snowflakes. Maybe in a pack they could take a pit. Depends on the pit. One on one, not a chance.

    I would double check your bylaws etc .

    Most cities have it where air horns are illegal. And you're more likely to just scare people and cause an accident.

    rock lights, LED bumper light bar, LED ditch lights, OEM bed lights, flag pole mount. USB port in the bed of the truck. painted trim to match color of truck. Vinyl decals (pictured in profile pic). debadged, plasti dipped grill. rear bumper LED lights.
    The diagram shows the regular horn being wired to the circuit switch so I can switch between regular horn and air horn. Just looking for where the wiring is for the regular horn. If that makes sense...?

    If you want to switch between two different horns you need an entirely different wiring harness, presumably with a relay and some switches.

    Look at where the factory horns are and pull out one of the wires from the wire loom going to them, follow the wire back to before they split into 2, splice the hot wire, run that wire into the cab and to a three way switch. Run one wire from position 1 on the switch back to the factory horn wire (which is before where they split to go to each horn) and re-solder. Then run a wire from the other position of the 3 way switch to a solenoid for the air horn.

    Edit: this uses the factory relay, factory fuse, and factory horn switch. A solenoid uses such little amperage that it doesn’t matter. However I would still put a relay for the solenoid because you can’t be too careful

    There's a caddy horn, not sure what year for those want a LOUD horn . I *think* was an Eldorado. ..70s?? Early 80s ??
    I've thought about adding to existing horn. I've thought of adding to my car but no room .
    The Tacoma, well, you could mount airs if you want behind the grill. The cops won't like it though.

    We have dipshit drivers here as well.
    Too fuckin many. Oblivious to their surroundings.

    Cops aren’t too fond of Tacoma drivers in general in Hawaii from what I’ve heard

    Delco-Remy Horns circa 1970’s to 1990’s is what you’re thinking of.

    I restore and sell them.

    Nah. They're cool.

    It's the huge lifted , tires sticking out ones they're not fond of . A LOT of cops drive 4Runners. A LOT. A lot of firefighters drive Tacomas too. You'll see at least half are Tacomas in parking lot.

    I didn’t see the comma in your profile and I was very confused when I read TRD Sport 911 Turbo.

    I'll have to disagree on this one... you intertwined coyote and wolf. 2 completely different animals. Sure, they are both as you say, "squadron" or more commonly "pack" animals but wolves aren't the "pussies" that, in comparison, coyotes are. I guarantee, if this story is correct, the dead animals were coyotes. The pit would have been shredded by a pack of wolves.
    Wolves are huge (2-3 times the weight of a pit), highly intelligent, professional killers with a much stronger bite force than pits. The pit may stand his ground because he's courageous (I love pitbulls) but any fight to the death probably wouldn't fair well for him.

    Remember back in the day when horns that played Dixie were sorta a thing? I was actually thinking about that yesterday on my drive to work. I assume you can still buy Dixie playing horns. Need to check my JC Whitney catalog.

    I knew a wolf nerd would chime in. :rofl:

    Wolves and coyotes are different, obviously. I left it up to the reader to understand that my point was a pack of wild coyotes are similar to a pack of wolves, in that they are a group of wild dogs that communicate and strategize to take down prey. Wolves are bigger than coyotes, yep. But your basic wolf doesn’t outweigh what my pit weighed, and certainly wouldn’t square off, alone, against a garden variety amped up pit bull unless the pack was there to flank it. This has been proven over and over and over again, wolves made terrible fighting dogs. There’s a reason one animal does one thing well, and the other does another thing well.

    I stand by the awesomeness of pit bulls, and mock wolf nerdery.

    Also yes a pack of wolves MAY kill a pit bull. I have never seen evidence of this though.
