Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

So I just used two heat shrink butt connectors with 12ga wire just before the weather guard to connect the wires. There is still a buzzing noise even with the truck running. The last thing I was thinking:
1.)it could be is that I am using terminal connectors rated to 14ga (to fit in the SPOD spot)?
2.) will the buzzing negatively affect the output/performance? Because i wouldn’t be able to hear it with the truck on.


EDIT-
Bright lights, dull customer. My SPoD was at 98% power on the dimmer setting, causing the buzzing. 100% seting no buzzing at all.
Excuse me while I find a hammer to beat myself about the head and face.

 

Watching a race truck video, the driver / owner swore the green light bar on his bumper was like having night vision in the dust - I searched 'green' in this thread but it only seemed to cover wiring. A review on the S2 covers online said they cut the output quite a bit. Any feedback on amber vs green and white vs green for output? I already have amber squadron sports in my skid and an s8 20" for my bumper. AFIAK BD only makes S2 covers in green which I have a pair of in case I decide to go that route.

 

There should be an option on the shipping method for store pickup. Feel free to PM me and I can get the order setup for you too.

 

No worries at all, it happens! Noise won't damage the light's output or performance, so you should be safe to dim it.

 

From our testing and experience, we prefer amber. Amber tends to identify terrain and shadows better compared to green. We've recognized that amber is closer to natural light and since our brains are already programmed to see things in that wave length, it would be harder to adapt to green's new color spectrum. It's also closer in wavelength to blue, purple, and black, which are all colors that are less defined and hard to see. Amber is used by many TT and Baja Racers and what's recommended by BD for driving in poor conditions (dust, snow, rain, and fog).

Did I just watch a LED porno? Who picked that music?

 

I’ve tried searching with no luck; but I’ve yet to see anyone confirm which ditch light brackets work best with a snorkel, XL lights, on a third gen.

Below are CBI brackets, and they not only hit the cowl but the lights are rubbing pretty badly into the snorkel body. Looking for some brackets that don’t need trimming of the cowl and will not interfere with the snorkel.

 

NEW PRODUCT ALERT: Universal S1 Moto Kits

We are proud to announce the most versatile motorcycle lighting option we have ever conceived. With our recent launch of the S1, we were ready to take advantage of the versatile, light weight and powerful S1 performance. This kit will mount to nearly any motorcycle with our fork bracket clamp design. The fork bracket along with the S1 standard bracket can be mounted in various configurations to accommodate your setup. Using an EPDM rubber material in between the mounting surfaces, worries about scratching the bike are nonexistent. Wiring is a breeze with only a handlebar switch, battery leads, splitter, and a headlight plug. For non-electric start EFI bikes, we will offer this kit without a harness and a bike-specific plug and play harness will need to be purchased separately.

50-7096 | S1, Moto Kit, Spot

50-7097 | S1, Moto Kit, Driving/Combo

These two options are available for all battery-powered dirt bikes which includes our 64-1049 Universal Wiring Harness & Switch which leads connect directly to the battery terminals.

Sharing a little Toyota love

 

After just 9 months and the finish is turning purpleish brown:



Anyone else have this issue?

 

I did...
Could be the chemicals used to wash and wax the truck... Could be a bad batch of anodization...

One thing I learned the hard way. DO NOT use Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic wax on Fox body shocks. That combo will corrode the shock body.

 

Everything corrodes Fox shocks...

 

They’ll warranty that, just shoot them an email

 

Quick question...i have a spare of squadron sports and know that you guys have the sae kit for gm...was wondering if i can just buy the brackets? I wanna put them on my wifes truck as i already have them on my taco...

 

This may have been part of a bad batch of anodizing, but this is covered by the limited lifetime warranty. PM inbound.

 

Shoot me over a PM and I can get you setup with an order.
