Depending on the horn size. I mounted the Hadley Bully Horn (twin horns) inside of the fender after removing the inner fender well. This keeps the horns dry and you get a little more noise because of the echo. The tank and the compressor are mounted just behind the driver side fog lamp.

Lightbulb interested too

I'm curious about a groupbuy (pm already sent, lol).

Does anyone have their horn installed behind the front bumper area? ~ unsure how big these truck horns are or if there would be enough room.

There is not much room in front of the bumper. Especially if these are the triple horns. But if they are double horn then you could put them behind the fender liner. Its only 7 or 8 screws then up near the top of the inside fender. Then you have room for a small tank and the compressor behind the fog lamp on either corner. But the driver side is easier because the horn is on that side and you have to run a wire inside of the truck

Mounted a full size nitrogen cylinder with regulator ($20 a refill)



Finished it off with the real deal valve....

DUDE!! (Hoot) you are serious about your horn! If that is in the back, doesn't that blast you when you hit it?

It's not loud at all inside. It's so friggin loud outside it makes no difference which direction or where the horns are mounted. The echos are breathtaking.

I have train horns on my long bed. TONS of room between t-case and fuel tank. I turned them rearwards to keep mud out of them. Compressor on the passenger framerail 6 gallon tank on under side of bed. I have an electric solinoid valve to activate the horns..
