Started a thing today. I let a buddy borrow my cutoff tool and my angle grinder, so I couldn't get the compressor mounted yet. Hoping to get together with him by next weekend, then a couple of hours finishing the plumbing and wiring both switches....

Nice that'll light somebody's ass up!

Just curious, but why did you mount the airhorns in the rear? I'd think mounted in the front would be more effective, ie louder!

This is the 5th vehicle I've installed these on. With over 100psi flowing through these Nathans, it doesn't matter where you mount them.
I've traditionally mounted them in the spare well on every truck so far. I can get my 5 gallon air tank, the horns (Nathan P3's), the compressor, and the valve all mounted in the well. It makes it easier to plumb, and depending on availability of a 12V access in the rear.....it can keep it easy to wire too.
Here are a couple of my previous installs:
The Denali
The white Trailblazer SS
The Tundra

Lol, I LOVE IT!! I'd def get in trouble if I had that.This is the 5th vehicle I've installed these on. With over 100psi flowing through these Nathans, it doesn't matter where you mount them.

The best part is most folks would look for a big jacked up truck when they hear train horns, I am sure Roger can testify the same. It was even more stealth with the Trailblazer SS's.

Got it all installed, even took the rear seats and passenger seat out completely to run the wiring from the console (switches) to the back where the pump and other hardware is. It's a win/win, I got to vacuum in the few areas I haven't been able to get to yet.....and cleaned up the few little stains my carpet had. I did cut the mat where my switches are, just didn't get a picture of that.
At least there was a win with the cleaning, it appears my pressure switch doesn't want to work, it isn't cutting the compressor on. I need to get underneath the truck with the multimeter to confirm, but that is my suspicions.
SOON!

Evidently the piston on the compressor must have just had a little moisture in it. After the 15 mile drive to work yesterday, the compressor now runs. I'll try to get video soon and post a pass or two.
