Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

Thanks for the update. This is exactly what I was planning but since I’ve got a couple other small projects I bumped the gauge to 1/0. Here’s a mock up of what I’m planning.

So a 1/0 positive and 1/0 negative will be run to the panel on the right with a 150 amp fuse from the rear 12v battery. I ordered a set of 12” sPod power leads last night and they’ll connect to the source panel. It’ll also give me a point for fused connections under the hood so I’m starting off with a very solid foundation for my build.

 

Is it possible to buy only the sunglasses 3D printed mount for the cabin? You’ve got the kit listed for the Tundra but that piece will work on a sequoia.

 

Sure can! Just give us a call!

 

So I ordered this bumper a few weeks ago and I dont think my 30" S8 will fit inbetween the top bar and fairlead, mounting above the main bar is also not doable due to the TSS so I'm looking at a pair of LP6 or LP9 but cant decide. I want the LP9 but I'm afraid they're going to be look too big, is anyone running a pair of LP9 on their bumper?

Hey @squarenone have you considered putting that light bar behind the grill? SDHQ makes a mount that fits right behind the grill and allows for two 30" light bars to be mounted. This will give you the option to use the light that you already have if you would like.

I am aware of of behind the grill/hidden mounts but I don't want to obstruct any light, I paid for the top dollar for the performance and I want all the light! But seriously, the TRD grill blocks like 30-40% of the light so not ideal unless I switch to a more open mesh style grille. I just pulled the trigger on 2x LP6, while I wanted the LP9, I did that thing where you're already spending almost $1k worth of money and decided that 4x LP6 or 2x LP6 and 2x LP4 would be badass and would allow me to replace my ditch mounted XL80's with smaller Squadron's or S2's and point them way to the side so that they my hood isn't lit up anymore. That basically solidified the LP6 for me. The S8 will be going up for sale, my buddy just got a Bronco so maybe I'll convince him to buy it off me.

Already planning my future purchases during a purchase, I think I might have a problem...

Edit: do you sell the bezels and mounting bracket/hardware for the S2? I have a pair of Flush mount S2 that I was going to put in the stock bumper but that wont work anymore. Anyone have a normal pair they're willing to trade for?

 

We do, Send me an email at brandonk@bajadesigns and I can help you get those bezels on order. Congrats on the purchase as well, those LP6 are a great light and look killer with the backlight on at night.

Are the squadron sports street legal? Installed them yesterday and these bad dads are bright! So bright it got me wondering about their legality. They have a wide spread and much longer ramge than I expected. I’m stoked either way but don’t want to blind anybody or get pulled over unnecessarily. Maybe I’m just not used to having such nice lighting?

 

Hey @HighCountryTacoma, the Squadron Sports are not road legal so please use them with caution if you are planning on driving with them on. If you are after a road-legal option the only light on our current lineup that is road legal is our Squadron SAE.

Night Runs inc!

 

Really wanting some LP4s on the ditch lights... but I think I am good for now.

 

BD is having a Black Friday sale...

I'm going to get some S1s for ditch lights.

 

I wish, but I have another set of Squadron Pros that I think I am going to mount on the ditch lights and use the spot lens on them. Haven't decided just yet

 

What color ditch lights do you run?

I have amber fogs, and am thinking about clear for ditch lights.

 

I have clear lens in them but amber covers on them. Same for the LP6s.

 

Hey @ETXTacoma,
The rig is looking great! How do you like your lighting setup as of right now?

Best,
Bill

Finally got out to the desert before sunrise...Small fun run a few weeks ago. All the BD lights are Absolutely worth every single penny!

Love it! But I am always working to improve it and make it better as far as my uses go for the most bang for my buck!

The LP6s on the front bumper are AMAZING! However, I am looking to potentially use some Squadron Pros as auxiliary High Beams, as the LP6s can be overkill sometimes. Plus I want something that will turn on when I turn my normal headlight high beams on and I have the LP6s wired independent from everything else because of the power draw.

The Squadron Pros on the ditch lights work great for their use but was thinking of possibly aiming them more towards the front and then having some S1s as more ditch lights.

I also have a set of regular Squadrons with wide corner lens that are mounted on the bed facing outwards for extra side lighting if I ever need it.

Then an S2 mounted high center of the roof rack for a chase light and rear work light.

Everything besides the LP6s and the Fog Lights in the bumper are wired to a Switch Pro.

I'd love to get some S1s and rock lights, but got other things working right now.

 

S1 ditch lights are really nice

 

sub'd just so i can reference this!
