How does it look at night or on a dusty trail ?

While I don't have photos of this particular housing, it let's you mount the same lights as the MSS-L. Here's the results from the Baja 'wide cornering' variant. The first several were on a dusty trail (but in broad daylight competing with the lights), and the last one (obviously) was at night to give you an idea of the 'throw' of the lights:

Alex personally dropped mine off at my house last night and I've gotta say, it's pretty sweet. I'm going to be installing the MSS-L spoiler on my truck later this month for the sake of making an install video, but I'm going to be running the Nighthawk brake light upgrade long term. He doesn't agree with me on this, but I LOVE the look of a naked roof.

So, for what it's worth, I HIGHLY recommend the Nighthawk.

I have your inside mount for the Wolfbox, which has been awesome to get a mostly clear rear view past the tire. Do you have any comparisons of the nighthawk view with the Wolfbox? Seems like should be even better.

I don't have one right now - I'm planning to continue rocking my MSS-L after GSMTR, so I haven't rewired my camera from the interior mount.

Batch 1 units are shipping! First 8 went out today, the rest should head out tomorrow.

Batch 2 is up on the normal website! The 'non-camera' version that mostly eliminates the center bump-out on top is also available - I'll get photos of that here in the next day or two. I also added a "dummy camera" option that includes a printed dummy Wolfbox camera for folks that plan on upgrading down the road, but don't have one right now
(you can see that one as the third one back).

Making progress on the LX470 grille with a pair of Diode Dynamics SSC2s integrated into it! This is laser cut steel with bracing behind it, and it bolts up to the factory grille mounting locations on the LX470.

What do you think? I think I may need to track down some SS3 or SS5s - the SSC2s just look a little small I think.

You might run a little hot with that no? Looks like probably 40 to 50% of the grill is blocked to air flow. Nice fit!

It's actually more open space than the factory grille has.
 
The non-Wolfbox mount variants of the NIGHTHAWK are now available! This is what they look like - you can see the top bump-out is much smaller without the camera there:

There's also the option to grab a variant that includes a dummy 3D printed camera - that's great if you plan to upgrade to a Wolfbox down the road, but don't want the odd hole there in the mean time.
 
Now that I've got my CNC laser cutter up & rolling (mostly), we're transferring the cutting and fulfillment of all the metal items over as @MongooseGA runs out of his stock.

The software on this Langmuir laser needs a TON of work, but even still, it cuts quite nicely.

The laser + CNC press brake made quick work of this 100 series switch box bracket!

I wanted to highlight one of my designs sold over at TAG - a mount for the Scangauge II:

View attachment 3859096

This puts critical information (real time coolant temp and transmission temperature) directly in your field of view whenever you glance down at your gauge cluster - I've really enjoyed having my personal SG II mounted here in my 2005 LX470.

View attachment 3859097

It perfectly contours to the steering column in all directions (achieved via 3D scanning the column & using that to guide the CAD) and attaches via 'snapping' onto the column around the turn signal/windshield wiper stalks recesses - no drilling required! It's ultra secure & doesn't interfere with the stalks at all. It's also engineered to not interfere with the auto tilt/retract of the steering column, and is tucked back as far as it can be while still achieving that.

The kit includes a 1' black flat ethernet cable + ethernet coupler to allow you to route the cable along the top of the steering column without drilling, where it's nearly invisible. It also includes a removable sunshade (pictured) to improve readability in ultra bright situations.
These get 3D printed in ASA for heat resistance & UV stability.

Note: It does block VSC + center diff light, and depending on your seat/steering wheel settings & height you may obscure the odometer as well. These aren't issues for me, since I find the info from the SG to be much more important, but I wanted to ensure that's disclosed. The first picture is taken directly from my vantage point while seated in my driving position to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Hi @LJE, do you happen to know if the mount will be back in stock any time soon? Thanks

Hey! These are in stock, but if you're outside the US (or have a VPN that makes it look that way) it'll show that way. Shoot me a message with your email and shipping address and I'll get you an invoice sent your way!

Hi there!

Ah yeah, that'll be it, I'm across the pond in the UK!

Are you able to ship to the UK? if so, I'll drop you a PM. Thanks!

New product coming soon!

This is an auxbeam/switchpro/fuse panel/etc tray mount that'll fit all the 100 series, 98-07. It fits next to the fuse box in the engine bay & lets you mount all manner of things. The horizontal portion fits the one-sided Auxbeams great (BA/RA/GA/AR/etc), and the verticle part has mounting provisions for *both* the Auxbeam breaker and a Blue Seas battery cutoff that people often use as a winch cutoff switch.

This was a 3D printed prototype to check fit, but @MongooseGA will manufacture these out of the same 12 gauge steel as our other Auxbeam mount! This mounts using existing threaded holes in the fenderwell.

It's tight, but everything will clear with enough room to run the wiring.

Can I get one?
 
I love these dang rear hatch lights - I packed up my campsite at GSMTR at 0400 this morning, and they were PERFECT to help illuminate the entire area and make sure I didn't miss anything.
