    Spec D headlights (garbage, Do not buy) replaced bulb with H7 80W Osram Off Road bulb so I could actually see. The lights they send do not put off any light at all and it's impossible to see anything at night... TOYO Open County AT III's (smooth ride, not loud) with Matte Black 17-In. TRD PRO Wheels Plasti dipped emblems and Bull Bar (Lasted about 2 years, need to spray them again)
    bought mine on hornblasters site... I suggest at Least a 5 gallon tank... my 2 gallon isn't big enough... the parts you can buy from Lowe's or Home Depot... but you should get the horns, tank, and compressor from hornblasters... they don't give you near enough wire and I bought better switches from Ace Hardware and Radio Shack... when you get it done, post a youtube video... oh, I went with the conductors special shocker 232xl... if you got some cash tho, I'd recommend a Nathan Air Chime... Good Luck!

    There awesome to blast in tunnels and at assholes who cut you off in traffic and end up in front of you at red lights. I had this one time where i was driving parrallel to a train and i honked at him and he honked back. Totally worth it.

    On a side note. i dont condone honking at old people and children.

    just my 2 cents but i got a viare compressor with 2 tanks, ones a 2 1/2 gal and another 5gal. i got them hooked up to my air horns not train horns but something similler to what big rigs have & i love them. ive used them everyday since i installed them. i use them for people txting & driving. dumbass's cutting into my lane & my fav reason to honk them under over passes. i recommend them... they really get your attention as to that whimpy toot toot shit!

    edit. i have my set up to automatically refill tanks when pressure drops below 120

    Where do you keep your compressor? I used my tool box on my old truck. I had a power switch for the compressor and a release button for the horn to prevent overheating inside that metal box.
