    should have got realtrainhorns to powder coat them since you are putting them under the truck. none the less they look great but rocks will beat them. very nice write up and thanks for sharing.

    I will be running them at 150 psi. Most trains run there horns at 120-135psi from what I hear. I have been told running 150 will not hurt them and make them slightly louder.

    I will have with horns, paint supplys, and the air system I am going to buy about 800-850 bucks in them. cant buy wheels and tires or a lift for that. lol plus I couldnt stand these beast to be just sitting around. lol

    I will be on a strict budget starting next month so I can atleast get rims and tires within afew months.

    I could have had them powder coated around here but I do know they are going under the truck, it took 3 days to do a full wright up on painting them and I know they will get rocks chipping them but once they are under the truck, I wont care. lol I just wanted to do a wright up and didnt want bare horns under there. It also only cost around 100 bucks for all materials to paint them.

    one bell is facing back because thats the way I cot them and I just stuck with that. You can mount all the bells one way or reverse any bell(s) you want.

    Thanks for looking and the feed back!

    damn that looks real good. hopefully after your lift/tires you'll pull these bad boys off and PC them so they look this pretty for a long time. Nice job indeed man!
