Silver lake raptor run 2016

[HAYNES OFFROAD]

Let me know as I'm sure if it isn't too high cost a lot of people would want to get one so they don't get rear ended on a trail.

Yea I'm pricing out materials now. Main cost will be the choice of amber cube light. But I'm thinking it will all be prewired, mount it and plug and play, with a switch built in. Simple.

I went out and ran some of the trails we do on the run with my buddies in their side by sides yesterday. Visibility without leafs is 100X better on the trails compared to this fall. I also found more fun roads/ trails to take a rip down. Running those trails gets me excited for april!

Along with all the permits and such, another thing I would HIGHLY encourage would be an amber dust light facing to the rear of the truck. There was a significant amount of dust last year (my interior is still filthy) and the trucks that didn't have one were getting a little hard to see.

Do they make a temporary rear facing light that can be powered of the trailer plug in?

Ok, so ive made a little bit of progress on pricing and design....

I am going to narrow down the choice of light to 2 as a feel these will be the best options and will provide 2 price points to help meet peoples budgets.


Choice of lights will be one:

1. Baja Designs Squadron PRO (msrp $239) flush mount, amber, driving/combo beam, 4,300 lumens

2. Baja Designs Squadron SPORT (msrp $129) flush mount, amber, driving/combo beam, 1800 lumens


The rest of the cost will be down to wiring harness, mount materials, and labor (trying to keep labor cost down by keeping to 1 light "design").

Design will include insanely easy (-30 seconds) and clean mounting (will look good being flush mounted) and plug and play capabilities, that will automatically turn on/off with the truck (and will also have a built in switch to manually turn off/on). This is designed specifically for the ones here that dont want to wire in a full lighting setup, and/or have no need for a full lighting package, a.k.a. weekend warrior, or even swapped to another vehicle....

Will also include a free "clear" lens for use as a work light.

Approx final costs for each version:

PRO version: $400-450
SPORT version $300-350


Let me know what you guys think. If theres enough interest i can definitly work on the pricing, but at least this will give everyone an idea on cost.

Any mock ups for what it might look like?

 

[HAYNES OFFROAD]

I've got a couple sketches drawn up, but I think will build one first before posting any pictures.

Also intrested to see what it will look like. Will your solution require cutting since it's a flush mount?

No cutting. This will be a completely pre-fabbed unit. Like I said, 30 second install for the customer.

Ok folks, here's a very rough draft. I don't even have a flush mount bezel on hand haha. But this will be essentially what it will look like overall. The final version will be ever so slightly smaller. But at least this will give y'all an idea of what's in my head.

Whatcha think? You guys want to see a final version be built?

Looks sweet!

I like the idea of the receiver mount for the rear amber light.

I am not very familiar with requirements (if any?) when it comes to mounting locations, light output and beam pattern for the rear ambers. I was thinking of mounting some flush rigid or baja lights in the rear bumper but haven't had time to really talk or research this mounting location. What are your guys thoughts?
