Train Horn for 2023 Badlands Bronco

trenfess66

Has anyone installed a Horn Blaster train horn or other train horn to a 2023 Bronco Badlands? If so which kit worked and did you have to do any modifications to make it work? where there any limitations?

I don't think Bronco drivers have to compensate. Anyone who puts train horns on a vehicle that isn't a train is an inconsiderate @$%hole and should be taken out behind the tool shed. FWIW they aren't DOT legal.

Not super sure what is all needed for a train horn. I would think you need an air compressor and an air tank the horn itself and some hoses. There is very little space under the bronco. Being that it is an off road vehicle you really don’t want a bunch of stuff hanging underneath. But having an on board compressor and an air tank would come in handy for some air tools. You might have to sacrifice some space in the back of the Bronco.

When in Moab recently I was really humored by the neighing horns a few people were sporting…. I’ve thought occasionally about a train horn, but have to agree with @OrangecrushBronco above…. Kind of the same category as the clowns who blow clouds of black smoke out of their diesel pickups needlessly… one doesn’t have to spend too much time on the road to find lots of people “compensating” in one way or another…

yup even on the Diesel sites I visit they don't like it either they call that "oralling coal" (spoof on rolling coal)
Like I say if you have a certain vehicle you are an ambassador for that vehicle if enough people do stupid things it gives everyone else a bad name too. it took me a bunch of fine tuning to keep my 12V Fummins from creating more than a light haze when loaded.

Train horn would be obnoxious.

A good alternative is a Marco truck air horn.

I have a Hadley stack buried under my cargo area, connected to my ARB Twin & storage tank. Like the others have said the HornBlasters and "train horn" style can be a bit obnoxious - and excessively big to mount anywhere (don't get me wrong - mine is loud too but it's a truck horn) It was quite an involved installation because I didn't want to drill (if I didn't have to, or cut any wires) . I also wanted to run wiring in case I wanted to add an amp for the sound system at a later date (which followed very quickly after)

I can go back to completely stock with the exception of 2 small bolt holes in the cargo area. The horns and air system can be completely shut down and revert back to stock horns with flip of Aux 5 switch and it is a completely stealth setup.
