I am sick of the crappy car horns that do little to scare stray animals (sometimes pedestrians) off the road. I will be travelling around Australia in July and wonder if anyone has fitted a decent horn (air or otherwise) to a Prado. I don't want a musical version, just one that scares the crap out of wandering stock.

I hope your not serios about using
the horn on wildlife?
You only lay on
the horn for a roo/emu etc you WANT to hit.
When younger we specifically sourced a big klaxon horn for the spotlighting rig for that exact reason. When racing to cut roos/emus/foxes/rabbits from the fencline between the paddock and bush a good blast would confuse them and get them to do a 180 (sometimes not always but pretty often) back in into the padock. they can even make the bush and turn back into danger out of confusion.
so ill say it again
- Never lay on
the horn when trying to avoid animal strikes
