General Discussion / Something quite polarizing... Train horns
« Last post by 78 Chevyrado on Today at 12:54:49 am »
Was watching videos of these things.

I enjoy my Hornblasters Shocker XL kit with a 5 gallon tank.

Lots of people love em, lots of people hate em.  I don't do pranks, I only use it when someone comes into my lane (and they go right back the #$%^ where they came from) or with deer.  The deer are funny.  They run out in the road and you hit the horns and they start scrambling on the pavement like a scared cat on a linoleum floor in the kitchen.

If you're within 30 feet of it it hurts.  I know this, because a few times I drove it to work, got home, drove in the garage, closed the door, was getting out and my lunchbox hit the steering wheel button...  man if I'da had to pee i think I woulda.   ;D ;D ;D ;D

I also added a Chevy C60 airbrake gauge where the blank one normally is to keep up with the 150psi the horns have in the 5 gallon system.  I like stock look.  my gauge is an 80's version but the 70's versions are like finding hens teeth and when you do find one they're prohibitively expensive.  I'm happy with what I have though.  have all 4 horns under the hood on the front half of the LH wheel housing.  Compressor mounted on the RH wheel housing.  even made a manifold for it that takes normal air hoses so I can use it to pump up tires or whatever you may need air for...

Can't promise there's no swearing but here ya go guys.  get to see the gauge and hear the horn.

I love em but don't be an idiot with them.

Celebrating our blessed Nation's 250th anniversary!!

A humble prayer:

    May our Nation, its leaders, and its residents, from their mouths, minds, and hearts, publicly affirm and renew their commitment to Him in all ways...

    And may He continue to bless us and all people whose hearts follow His.

Happy 250 Yall!!!

Dad got a new 30' flag pole with a 5x8 flag we got it put up the day before. 

He's a Vietnam Navy Veteran.  He was the guy they took into the field to either recover downed jets or blow them up while surrounded by a bunch of marines watching their back. 

Thank you to all who served!  We owe you all everything.  literally everything!

Back in the day I did yellow letter tires on my focus because I'd just redone Dad's yellow tires on his 98, NASCAR F-150  I liked it on the black so I did my car tires to match.  Dad's truck came factory with yellow letter tires so when he buys new one we have to make em yellow.

You buy yellow plasticoat in a can and apply it with a syringe.  Tire must have existing white letters or they will turn brown in 2 months.  This lasts.  nothing else does.  This is the only way to do it for long term.  Doesn't crack.

If you're interested, Here's a video after he got it ceramic coated by RestoreFX 2 years ago.  got almost 300k on it.  There is swearing in the video.  Just an FYI.

Dad never liked plain cookie cutter trucks.
