Installed new horn!!!!

Installed a new horn for the cruiser...

So I was tired of being embarrassed whenever I honked at someone that would cut me off, so I looked into the Hella Supertone horn set at 4WheelParts. They are very loud at 118dBa but not only that they are dual tone. One tone is at 300Hz and the other is at 500Hz so when they harmonize the resonance is awesome.

I can't tell you how excited this horn is. As you know the FJ Cruiser horn is subpar. I thought about just getting the second horn from toyota but that is 75 dollars I believe. I got the Supertone set for 55 bucks and is considerably louder than any stock Toyota horn.

I highly recommend these.

For those that want to check these out, the Hella P/N is 3AG 003 399-801 (12V)

Oh and all I did was splice into the original horn wire. There is no need to run the included relay in my opinion.

I changed to a Wolo Bad Boy air horn. Had to install a relay because direct connected it blew the horn fuse.

Seems like you'd need extra liability insurance for the cardiac arrest you've give someone if you fired that up!

I've heard nothing but good things about those. Good to hear that you're pleased and 'moving people along'

I want a new horn too, i'll check those out.

Me too. Thought I'd throw in another tip after learning about the spare horn wire on the pass side of engine bay. That wire goes back to the front horn so I just pulled the harness down from the top of the radiator core support, fished the gre/black stripe wire out and cut it so it jump right out at new horn location. (my grille was out for re-paint so I thought now was a good time) $20 FIAMM High Tone Horn
