    You were just holding the nails in your hand, and the train horn startled you enough that you dropped them in surprise.

    Just stay vigilant….but not necessarily too vigilant, since they damned sure won’t sneak up on you.

    In my area, bitch whistles seem to be mostly limited to lifted Ram trucks towing ghost trailers. Driver will be wearing a Grunt Style or Black Rifle Coffee T-shirt.

    I wasn’t aware they could be retrofit into, or under a Tundra.

    I can think of so many better ways to blow a grand!

    Hookers/blow
    Beers
    Burritos
    2.5 tires
    A couple tanks of gas
    Audio equipment
    Dog treats
    Fishing gear
    Etc.

    Thinking the same, was like that's a truckload shit of burritos....
    And dog treats....

    EDIT: I will take that back, with burritos at close to $10 a piece down here at Westchase, that's not exactly truckload, but still more than I can stomach for sure....:puke:

    Still money we’ll spent compared to those fucking train horns…


    Years ago, I helped a friend install some actual train horns in a beer distributor’s warehouse. The night crew that loads the orders would have home stereos blasting so loud that they wouldn’t always be able to hear the break whistle in the back areas. We tied the horns into the pallet wrapper with solenoid that was controlled by a button in his office.

    And WTF does that mean:notsure:....

    Most of the "Idiots" I deal with are Locals driving like they own the F@#KING ROAD

    Then again, one of these righteous Morons pulled a gun on an older driver at a Red Light... for what , no one seems to know BUT a Good Dam way

    to end up in jail without that "Bad Boy " protection ...

    FUC!@# train horns belong on TRAINS... Semi's have air horns, equipment has LOUD horns, this bigger than your $hit is OLD..

    You want "Plug & Play " , purchase an air horn kit that bolts in place of your factory and call it a day..

    I figured he was probably sorting through his box of nails and the big stupid fucking train horn startled him, causing him to accidentally roll down his window, and toss his box of nails out. Happens all of the time. So does circling back and beating the crap out of the guy who blew the big stupid fucking train horn with the stupid nut sack he most likely has hanging from his tow hitch.

    Installing train horns can be a fun project, but it does require some patience. It’s best to use a sturdy bracket to keep it secure. First, you must find a spot to mount the train horn under your vehicle. Next, you’ll want to connect the horn to a separate compressor system because the OEM horn usually can’t handle the power needed. You’ll also need to tap into your vehicle’s electrical system to power the compressor. Make sure to use the correct gauge wires and fuses to avoid issues. Test the horn once everything is hooked up to ensure it works correctly. It might be a good idea to check out a few YouTube tutorials for visual guidance.
