mounting compressor & horn on 2002

[95talon]

i picked up a train horn with compressor just like this one : Kong Train Horn, 120psi Jericho 5L Air System - eBay (item 130192487389 end time Jan-25-08 18:51:20 PST)

where would be the easiest place for me to mount the horn and the compressor? I was going to put the compressor under the back seat but it sits too high and the seat wont go down. Anyone have any ideas for both? Thanks

most mount 'em on the frame rail under the truck or inside an
in bed tool box.

I mounted mine on the passenger frame rail underneath the passenger seat.

I mounted the horn behind the front bumper in the passenger wheel well. The horn faces down so any water that might get in will drain out.

Look here for information on installing the compressor on the frame rails. And here to see where some of us have mounted our horns. He has done a great pictorial.

Shadowgray also did a great pictorial on his install.

FWIW, my compressor is a Viair 550 C which is not sealed, so I installed it in my truck box as said prior.

Hope it helps.

The Shadowgrey install is a very nice job.

I installed my air tank & compressor in my toolbox (pic below)

The only place that I could mount the Leslie Supertyfon train horns, was to remove the spare tire (hope I never have a blow out )

does anyone have the compressor set up to air tires or use other air tools for small jobs? i'm wondering if i can get by with a 25-30% cycly duty comp. 100% cycle duty's are expensive. i'd like to install and 5 gallon tank 115-200 psi to run train horns and misc air. dont know if a beefy setup would be worth the use it'll get...

JMHO, but if you're gonna buy an air compressor, go ahead and get the cont. duty, you'll be glad you did.

I plumbed my system so I could stub out 2 outlets. You can barely see them in the pic of the tank & compressor.

I have used mine several times for airing tires and the such like.

Thanks. I like to think that my train horns can bring people together, or make them get out of the way, however you want to look at it.

Short story:
I pulled into the local Huddle House once, and an older couple and their son were getting out of their car about the same time as me.

I could see their son looking back at my truck and then his parents looked back to see it too. You could tell they were talking about it as if to say, WOW, thats a sharp truck.

So I gave a few short & long blast of the horns, the lady (who seemed to be around her 50's or 60's) said to me, "you gotta be kiddin' me?" I said, nope, those are train horns you hear, she said "that is so cool!"

Bama nice setup. I think if you hit those horns next to me it would send me in the ditch.
