My super secret Baja project - 80% complete

Post by Toccara »

Well, I haven't told many people about my super-secret Baja project because I wanted to get some of it done before I revealed it to the world. I got a lot done today!

The project? A light bar (ala Knight Rider's KITT) behind the grill. Yup, thats right - a flashing red "back and forth" light that I can control from the driver's seat.

My first thoughts were that I was going to have to remove the grill and cut into it to install these lights so that they would be seen from the outside. Fortunately, I was able to install the light bar without having to modify the grill at all, and the results are fab, IMHO. The light sit right behind the grill in front of the horns.

The shiny steel supports are from my old Erector set. They bolt to the bracket for the light bar, and to existing bolts near the radiator

COOL! I was planning on going for the voice aspect. I was going to work with a friend to get a voice recognition and voice modulator installed in the Baja. :D
