Dave, do you have a link to this new horn you installed? Is it a drop-in replacement or needed additional items (relay, etc)?

Replaced the ‘meeep’ horn with a modern horn set. OMG someone can hear it now.

belgium requires a spare waffle iron.
switzerland requires a minimum of two ounces of gold to be carried for each occupant.
lichtenstein requires a small plaque with your name to be displayed.

In heaven, the police would all be British,
the cooks are all French,
the mechanics are all German,
the lovers are all Italian
and the whole thing is run by the Swiss.
In hell, the police are all German

and the whole thing is run by the Italians.

Good question. |
These license plate lights for an old Tundra may mount nicely to the box. When I installed them on a Tundra I noted they might work well for surface mount lights in other applications. They are VERY bright and I've covered a portion with black tape.

That license plate frame looks mo better: simple and functional. Heck, for limited use you could power it with some AA batteries unless you already have 12 volts wired to the chuckwagon. Nice work.
