Changed the tire today and had to put the donut on. Why because this piece of **** was lodged in the tire.

How do you like that horn? My horns are busted and I'm thinking about this one. Was it just a simple plug and play?

Kinda plug-n-play, had to ground it. OEM horn just has a positive wire going to it, and the neg connection is it's mount, which the 419 wouldn't fit on (which is why i combined them lol). And the OEM plug fit on it. Haven't had to replace any fuses...yet. I just used a wire tap to connect the 419.

It's not really dual tone, the tones are too similar and both high pitched. Sounds nice with the OEM horn as a third tone. And like i said, it's LOUD!

Oh and no, the 419 isn't bolted to anything yet lol. It's just wedged in there for now.

Picked it up looking like this:

Front tires rub the rear of their fenders at full lock but only on the liners as far as I can tell. Flat Flares are imminent as well as front spacers if the rake doesn't settle out (on stock shackles). After we fix the clearance issue, its time to stuff the tires and bump stop accordingly.

It's a fencing wire pice, for chain link fencing, I use them all the time on the farm, and given the size why not plug it?
