    SomeBeach--- Take a peek at: www.JCWhitney.com They have quite a wide variety of electric horn replacements that will give you the BIG sound you're looking for with a very simple one-for-one replacement installation.
    eh it wasnt that bad.. i tried lots of electric horns and smaller air horns.. all too high pitched for what i wanted.. not loud enough either

    the front bumper had to come off anyway, there is a second horn behind the cladding under the passenger headlight, so if you installed an aftermarket horn to replace the one behind the grille, you get a whole mix of sounds that sounds awful.. i

    EtlSport--- Hmmm, I didn't know there was a "second horn" under the passenger headlight. What a installation nightmare. I'm gonna' keep my VX horn system 100% stock and not mess with it. Like my Dad used to tell me "If it ain't broke; don't fix it".

    Don't be such a negative nancy, it is a 5 minute mod, once you get the front cladding off. There are two factory horns, and there is a ton of room under there for just about whatever you want. I went with the big dog dual tones, very easy to do, less than 40 bucks, and it sounds like a truck finally. I do dig the 18" tugboat idea though....similar to what I had on my offshore fishing boat...
    With my new bumper and clovis pin mount, I will be able to do anything I want to the front, unlike you all with your silly plastic front end
