How much did that put you down for? Does it get hung up on anything whilst off road?

Just noticed the unique location of a CB Antenna. Did you make a bracket with a hole for the hitch pin to go through?

The horn if you were to buy it new right now is about $1600 and then I have two pumps around $750 and a 20 gallon tank $100 plus solenoids, line, and fittings I've personally got around $2000 in it. Its somewhat worth it to see peoples faces or watching them jump or duck

It hasnt got hung up yet I just got it switched around. I've got to build a cage or something to protect it so I'm just being careful with it for now

yeah, that is an 8.6 + 2 lockers + 4.56 gears, I guess it just depends on your mission. I mean if your mission is to scare wild game to death this should work! :)

And a little left over, depending on what you get, and where you buy.

Lol yea it started out cheap but then I wanted to make it louder and louder. That's not the horn I started out with it was actually the third horn so what i got in it is actually more but it just kinda grew over time. I've had everything for about 5 years so from all the entertainment I've gotten from it in a way its worth it but then again I definitely wouldn't get rid of it
