Hornblasters Train Horn Kit Install - Wake The Dead

A huge aspect of mini-truckin' is the desire to be noticed wherever you go. No matter how bad-ass your ride is, though, sometimes you need a little something extra to make the showgoers and Joes on the street look in your direction. Enter www.hornblasters.com, a company that believes everyone should get the attention they deserve. With a set of train horns on your truck, you're guaranteed to unnerve anyone within 1/4 mile of your truck by simply pressing a button. We thought these horns were so cool that they deserved their own how-to article. Follow along as we make a truck sing so obnoxiously loud that you can't help but grab your ears and cringe. For more information, contact the companies listed in the source box of this article.

Editor's note:
Please refrain from sounding your horn in the presence of the infirm, or old folks. We don't want to hear about any heart attacks you may cause.
