Race Yota 4653

The 4653 is looking good! Silly question, but what material are you using for the Orange cover on your LED lightbar?

Honestly that was my first thought when I saw.

Dumb question why are you covering part of your light bar?

It keeps the glare down when driving in dust at night.

The Luke · Aug 15, 2019

Any reason you wouldn't do that across the whole light bar or just the drivers viewing area?

Interesting. How much does it cut out what you see at night in the desert?

ToyotaTom · Aug 15, 2019

My first ECORS race was a night race at AOP. During night prerunning I identified the issue with the dust. Back then I was racing solo with no co-driver so only my side got an amber cover. Me and my current co-driver will need to do some night driving to see if it is an issue on his side.

So if you're on this side of the coast what series are you racing in now that dirt riot/ecor is no more?

ToyotaTom · Aug 15, 2019

I live in Washington now. There's not a lot of racing up here either mainly crawling comps.

More wheeling.

I love the scenery out there.

Elbe ORV.

Picked up some 35" KM2s from Craigslist for spares.

Other than wheeling your race rig, any changes/fixes/improvements?

ToyotaTom · Sep 23, 2019

Just wheeling for now. I have been putting together tools, communication stuff and parts for race support/ pits. I recently installed a GM 1 wire alternator, other than that it works real well so far. The front and rear air bump will need to be adjusted once the springs settle a little more.

Everyone loves pictures.

ToyotaTom · Nov 27, 2019

37" Sticky Krawlers for wheeling.

Hell yea, was wondering when you would make the swap. We put a set on sketchy earlier this year, made the biggest difference compared to them bald swampers I had.
