Ready for the May night race!!

[crazyjim]

Got the dust light installed today, it works well. No good pics of it yet, just this one. I'll take some better ones later. Although once the cage goes in this is getting mounted on the cage...

Jim, is that mounted inside the jeep? If so, how's the reflection back at you at night??

-Dan

[crazyjim]

Funny you ask, because I just got done driving it around to find out. It's virtually un-noticeable. If I look behind me, it seems to be lighting up quite a bit, but driving normally, I see fine. I can see out the rear mirror too.

[xcm]

you should make more of a fuss about the night race, i had forgotten =\

having a broke down jeep you wouldnt/shouldnt take farther then del taco sucks balls... but im feeling risky

[crazyjim]

Hahahaha we all know you wanna go, it should be fun. There's gonna be enough people there to help if your junk breaks! :D

[BajaCurt]

Nice Jim.
Now if/when we are called into action you won't get rear-ended by a trophy or class 1 or ???
Which light did you go with?

Exactly, I definitely wanted to have it done before the may race for that reason.

The light is just a $25 55w halogen pep boys light. I was considering going LED, but after reading a lot of negative things about not being able to see the LED's, I figured it defeated the purpose, and went halogen. You'll have to let me know how it looks when we're out there!

[tcm glx]

Good stuff Jim!

[Goatman]

Will it glare if the window is covered in dust? Don't know what you could do about it if it did.

I got the 35w light which ended up being plenty bright enough. In fact, I need to remember to disconnect it, since it's bright enough that it bugs the guys behind me on the trail even in the daylight.


BTW, when and where is the race?

I had a 35W mounted just like Jim, and the ky is for it to be close to the window.... no more than 4-5 inches... I had no glare issues, even with dust.

The night race is memorial day weekend!

Jim..... how are we doing on getting a race radio??

[crazyjim]

Not sure yet, I'll know after my birthday lol.

Chase for us and I'll lone ya a radio.Still working on the class 1 deal.Race is May 23rd.

[tone]

That looks killer Jim!
Did you happen to do a write up on the install/wireing?

[crazyjim]

Ahhhh damn man! I'd absolutely love to, but I'm already helping a buddy chase for a 9 car. I'd love to chase for you another time though definitely!

Thanks man, I didn't do a write up, but I'll take some pictures later of what I did. I actually used a longer bold with a spacer and bolted it to the hinge bolt. As for wiring, it's just ran over to a switch in my center console, and then to my fuse box. At only 55w I didn't need a relay.

[Ryno XJ]

Looks good Jim. The two lights I have in the back of mine are LED cop lights, and are pretty bright. I have no glare back from them at all, and Tony is correct, the closer to the window the less glare even with dust on the window.

We should still meet up at the race.Is the guy that owns the 9 car out of Garden Grove by any chance?

And yes we should meet up at the race
Anyone with Baja in their name is alright in my book :cheers:

[tcm glx]

Tony, today I got an invite to go pre-run the Baja 500 with Regulators Racing.
Only problem is .... it's the weekend of May 23rd !!!???!!!
I told them I already had commitments that weekend

[tcm glx]

Agggh Curt. I appreciate that man. Do what you gotta do though! Prerunning in Mexico is a beutiful thing!!!! If you gotta go, I totallly would understand!

[BajaCurt]

I'm a man of my word Tony.
I told them I would join them at the Baja 500 but couldn't make their pre-run.
But the thing I don't understand is .. they aren't even racing the B-500
So I guess that trip is just pre-run and party time
hmmmm maybe I should go :D
Naw see you in Lucerne amigo

thats cool, how easy was getting on and off the interior panels?

[Swamprat]
