Okay well title suggest where I’m going with this. There is a guy near us with a jacked up F-350 with those obnoxious air horns but my kids love it… the Rivian has a compressor built in so presumably this would be easier to do. Was hoping on a removable option that I could just put in the back for parades and tailgates. Any suggestions?

One guy I work with had one on his truck. He had to disconnect it because it somehow got stuck on one day. Same guy also runs nuts off of his rear bumper.

You could just make a bracket and have the horns on that while in use in the bed and then remove them when finished. Don’t have to worry about mount and running the lines through the truck. I had semi truck horns on my f250

We're at the opposite corner of the country so have at it. Oh, and on a train (and a ship) it's called a "whistle".

Thanks, yah I don’t want to mount it to the truck. Just for a few days of novelty here and there. I figured I could make a skid myself for it but was hoping on something plug and play to the compressor but can’t really find anything.

If I remember correctly it should be fairly easy. You’d just need an adapter off of the compressor to run the normal high pressure air line that connects into the horns.

Something like this should work.

I'd honestly keep it separate from the compressor setup.

Something like this, mount it in the bed and run in to the 12v in the bed if you want it to be removable?

I can't say I'm going to do this but I love the idea of a completely silent truck with this horn....
Just ordered it. I really don’t want to tap wires on this truck so if I can’t do plug I might just install it on my tractor.
