There are a couple of you tube vids- including the mounting.
By the way- to be hip you have to have ship horns now

I have no spare tire under the bed so I mounted my triple horn, air compressor and tank there . Only bad thing is that I didn't want crap getting in the horns when i go mudding so I mounted them backwards which was a mistake because all the noise is going out back. I might make some type of shield to be able to face them forward.

You wouldn't care to share some of those train horns would you?

In style or not in style, I still want some. And, why not on the roof? I plan on mounting my there, but then, I don't plan on selling my truck. When I buy something I tend to hang on to it. Pro's for on the roof mounting: Looks Cool, Plenty of room, facing the right direction, no under body debris, 100% non-obstructed sound.
