Nice, gonna have a way to lock it down, or just load out for trips?

I've always had it on my rack and never had it locked. No issues yet. Maybe I'll think about it though.

Ever since I got my train horn set(s) I've wanted to get 4 of the seven trumpets onto the roof. I had all kinds of ideas to do it on the old rack but they were all a PITA. Now with the new rack I can finally make it happen. I'll leave three under the rig and put the loudest four on top of the rig. It will make a Very nice surround sound effect with the horns. I made a plate and rigged it so the retractable antenna lays down between the center to trumpets.

Looks great Ollie!
Where do you find the time to do all of this with a wife and kids? I'm lucky to have 20 minutes here there to work on stuff. It has taken me a month to install my radios.

They certainly can be. That's why they're tied into my alarm system too.
Seriously... I usually ask if anyone has a heart condition before I set off my horns. I'm still running the lines and the wiring for them. Can't wait to hear the change since they're on the roof and not underneath the rig now. Should be done tonight.

Very nice, I have all my wire installed for my off road lights, which I am in the process of buying, and they all tie into the alarm as well, he he, every light will flash!
