Vehicle pranks - I always need new ideas!

[N-Smooth]

My favorite one so far is when we wired my bro-in-law's horn to his rock-lights. One of the lights is right by the horn so it was ridiculously easy. The first night run of the trip all of a sudden he is on the walkie saying "Why does my horn honk non-stop when I turn on my rock-lights?" We were all laughing so hard at that point but we kept it together and acted like we didn't know what was going on.

The icing on the cake is that since we didn't use a diode and just wired it directly it made it so when he honked his horn it would flash the rock-lights... hilarious!


Let's hear what you've done to other people's rigs or your ideas!

I've got a super great one planned.. But can't share until after April 1st..

i've seen the horn wired to the brake light switch before. so everytime they step on the brakes it honks

take one of those huge zip-ties and put it around someone's driveshaft, leave the tail on the zip-tie, don't cut it. so as they drive, this ticking sound (of the tail swing around and hitting stuff) will bug them until they figure out what it is

The first time I went to Moab one of the guys I went with hooked a cow-bell to my frame up under where you couldn't see it, one of the guys that wasn't in on the joke noticed before we left the parking lot and said something, I left it on but if I didn't know about it there would have been some head scratching.

I've done the driveshaft zip tie one.

also a few rocks in the wheel center caps is pretty annoying.

the old kazoo thing in the tail pipe is a good one.

the brake light horn one was on the India special of Top Gear and that killed me.

Did this to my high school chemistry teacher. He didn't get quite the laugh out of it as he did waking up to find his XJ wrapped in ceran wrap which we had been telling him we were planning on for months.

The April fool crotch soaker.

On April 1st some of the mechanics liked to connect the wind shield washer to a hose under the steering column. And then wire the washer pump to the reverse lights. The poor driver would be safe until he needed to back up at which time the crotch of his pants would be very wet and he had no choice but to finish out his day looking like he had wet his pants.

This one has me rolling. I love it!

Growing up in a small town on the oregon coast we did all sorts of things from crisco on the windshield(unless you have something to cut grease its not coming off), ceran wrap cars with the big rolls the stores use for pallets of material, cheese whiz under the door handles, flour down the cowl under the windshield, dead nutrea(sp?) tied to the bumper, liquid manure sprayed all over the persons car or truck, manure filled truck bed, horn to the taillights or signal, and so much more.

Hahaha I love that one

I usually wrap my sisters car in shipping cellophane

One of my highschool girlfriends (not a car person) though it'd be funny to prank my car. So she smeared crisco and bannanas all over my car, and filled the car up with rice. Let's just say that I wasn't laughing when I found it. The crisco never came off, and I never got all the rice out of it.

Lol that's terrible. When I worked at Firehouse Car Wash we had people come in having been egged about once every other week. Not good on the paint yo.

You guys are harsh! I like little pranks that make people laugh and shake their heads, not punch me in the face.

Our current idea is to wire his horn to go off when he is in reverse in 4-low only. We were talking about how to make it work with a relay off of the reverse switch and 4wd indicator but I'm not sure if it can be done.

Another idea was brakes being wired to the rear wiper... that would be so annoying hahaha

 

[B2-Bomber]

you would need 2 relays, one on the reverse lights circuit, and another on the "4-lo" indicator circuit, wired into a series. so that both relays would need to be closed before it would honk

Yeah buddy, that's what we were talking about. I've got spare relays and time! Maybe we'll even add the rear wiper to that one and have it be like a sensory overload situation.

Two of the girls that I worked with put wet toilet seat covers all over my truck in January.

Yeah its not cool if it damages the vehicle! My fathers in law almost had his 68 charger burn down because his idiot brother wrapped the headers with newspaper on his wedding night. Luckily someone stopped with a fire extinguisher.
