    Anyone else have train horns installed on their trucks?

    Probably dangerous to use on the road. Hella horns are loud enough.

    I'ver never understood the obsession people have with honking horns, add even louder horns and maybe you'll hit the lottery with a little retort in the form of gunfire.

    The typical American is violent, short fused, obese, using statins and high blood pressure pills, is married to a ham planet, has so much debt they can't see straight and is looking for a full ride to PMITA Prison an all inclusive camp.

    I can't disagree with sentence number one. That exact sequence of events has definitely taken place in my area and been on the local news. Horns should be used for accident prevention only, does no good after the fact. Neither does tailgating, high beams, etc to communicate a point.

    However I'd like to be more optimistic than paragraph number two. At least, as far as averages go.

    Many inconsiderate lane and intersection blockers in ATL deserve a train horn’s honk of shame.

    You need to seriously reconsider your transportation options, if you’ve installed this on :turtleride:your truck.

    Ah, it's been a while since I've seen one of these imbecilic threads.

    I'm busy crossmatrixing it with different brands of oil, so as of right now, inconclusive.

    Next up, brake checking for sport!

    For the above reasons I have been considering going full size. Waiting for the next generation Tundra to be revealed, current one is too classic for me (13 years old).

    Quality post. Superb, and I also agree with this assessment. Everyone I’ve ever known with a train horn installed on their vehicle has been mentally handicapped in some way. I’ve known 3, currently see 1 everyday, and he’s got it installed on a giant ferd with a smoke stack through the hood...so. You know. That kind of person.
