    G’day all… Recently purchased a 2010 GU… will be getting it ready for an extended touring trip up through The Kimberley’s… ordered a Kaymar rear bar yesterday, although expecting about a 3-4 month wait!

    First question if I may… looking for good options for replacing the horn?… the standard one just doesn't do any justice, sounds like a hatchback!

    Welcome to the forum mate. Yes I agree with the horn. For a large vehicle the squeak just sounds wrong. I have a couple of ebay cheapies that have a deeper note. The Ford horn is also a deep note.
    In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".

    Stick your head near the window, but don't extend past it, and yell out "WTF". LOL

    Seriously, I have no answer.

    Fair question Chad Mate
    I’ve personally had zero luck shifting wayward beasts off highways with the likes of LaCucaracha, Dixie and even old school mechanical OOGA.

    I've had one of these in our Patrol for around 10 years now. Plenty loud enough & once fitted no more embarrassment from the feeble standard offering. Easy to fit & can keep original horn too. They are a copy of a well known/well thought of more expensive brand (can't recall the name) & I wondered if it was a mistake to buy the 'copy'. No regrets about having done so. Comes with a relay. The fact that a decade later they are still available on ebay says a lot.

    G'day Cuppa, cheers for the recommendation. I'll check it out but from what I see looks straight forward and simple.
