Baja Racks new Spylight System

I like the use of the lumber rack and really wanted one at first but iam starting to change my preference now.... lumber rack allows a lot of possibilities for gear n lights buttttttt prolly looking at some other roof top ideas

 

Sumthen like this. http://www.pelfreybilt.com/#!roof-racks/c1e6h

 

nice, but can you throw 800lbs of lumber on it?

 

Look at Baja Racks . They make a flat utility rack that looks pretty nice. Not as big as yours but....

 

I'm looking at that rack for my truck

 

nice rack, but too skimpy

 

I saw one installed at Overland Expo this year. I liked it

 

800lbs that high up on the truck is a good amount of weight up high....but then again feel bad for who ever cuts u off n they break check can u say projectile lol

 

Any news on when they will have one for the Tacoma?

 

I already have the rack on my cap

 

I wonder when they will have a utility rack for the Tacoma with this light set up

 

lol, can you say ratchet straps and haven't lost a load yet (knocks on wood), nah, can you say oops I guess you didn't leave me enough room to stop, go get that broken neck looked at and buy another car?

 

yeah I saw that, nice set up, still think i'd fuck my cap up though

 

At this point iam even thinking of having a cap with a custom rack made......

 

I spoke to Sergio at Baja Rack . Yes He will be making one for the Tacoma
It wouldn't hurt to call them and keep a little fire under it , to get it done. He said about 4 weeks
it would be a sick addition to an already bad ass truck . I hope you get it and post up

 

Cool

 

I'm very interested in this rack with the movable light bar.

Couple of questions...

Can I ask, what is the size of the arc that the light bar can rotate?
On the video, it looks more that 90 degrees,
( because in the video the bar goes high illuminating a rock wall? then
lowers to face the beam down range.)

Those motor/servos/actuators you used for the light bar, can they handle
vibration well, or is the system too delicate to go off roading with?

I'd really like to buy something like this for my truck, I need a large
bar at night, that's out of the way during work.

Thanks muchly

The light bar can rotate about 110 degrees. Plus you can adjust it too high and bring it into the spot you like.

I wheeled my truck for about 9 months with a much smaller actuator, with absolutely no problems. Sedonafest, Ouray Colorado and the trails in AZ. After that is when I decided it would work for production. The actuator we use now is much more stout than the original. The original was a 15# actuator . The one used now is 150#, just to overbuild it for durability

Good question for sure
thanks

Update
I did some reconfiguring to my lighting with the addition of one more light.

I actually decided I was bored with my Road Armor front bumper, that has been on my old FJ, then my new one for 6 years.

After looking over all the bumper choices I decided to go with a local company (Mesa AZ ) Additive Desert Designs

Here are a few shots of the new bumper and the monster light







The new light is the Baja Designs 30" ONX Pro
I had it configured in all spot beam , since the 40" Stealth is 80% spot 20% flood. The stealth has 14,400 lumens . The ONX is 19,200 lumens. I thought the Stealth was really bright. The ONX is incredible
As you can see, the amber 20" stealth is inside the new bumper along with the 2 squadrons on the corners . I ran out of relays, so the 20" and squadrons are (at least for now) are on the same relay.

 

Old thread, but has anyone actually seen the baja rack with spylight on a tacoma? Where they ever made? I have searched and searched. Baja rack doesn't list it at their website. A local shop has one they used for a show and I can get it for $500 with wiring and switches. I'm just concerned its not actually the one for a tacoma because he said he had to drill when installing. I thought it bolted in the holes for the factory rough rack?
