Nice job and great explanation.

I want to install a grover stutter tone. What is the largest take that will fit in that spot?

Nothing wider. Perhaps something longer but I really struggled to find a spot for this one. If you remove the spare tire mounting hardware in the back then you'll have a lot more room

I've been gathering the parts for a very similar setup. Enjoyed your write up. Planing to put the tank and compressor in my tool box though. In Canada putting everything underneath would be a terrible idea.

I've also ordered a "delayed on" relay. Plan is to use the OEM horn to trigger the train horn. A tap on the horn will only be the OEM horn. Holding the horn on for more than a half second will engage the train horn. That time is adjustable, so will take some playing with to get it set right.

We call that a Mexican Relay, On Delay.
