my reverse light/warning light project
 

so the other day i made a sheet metal box to hold my 2 reverse lights and my 2 warning lights (stobe lights).
its not done yet but i wanted to know what you guys think and if u have any suggestions before i finish it.

this picture is the front view, i will cover the sheet metal with the cheap wal-mart bed liner so it wont rust. and put some silicone anywhere where the wires come into the box.

this is just the back view

this part looks a little confusing... nothing is connected and the transmitters are just thrown in there for now, when i put it all together the transmitters will be screwed down and ill use shrink wrap to connect all the wires.


this box will sit on the back part of the removable top of my 87 4runner. so tell me what u think.

oops lemme resize those pictures!

ok well the pictures arent that much bigger, tell me if u cant read it

So this entire thing is going to hang upside down?

no, the way it sits in pic #1 is how its guna sit on top of the removeable top, w/ the lights facing twards the back

That seems a bit bulky don't you think? Or do you have a basket on top?

yeah its a bit big, i have a small roof rack off of a blazer on it right now, it makes it look a little smaller. but when i get a bigger nicer roof rack it wont look so big

Homebrew stuff is the best, but are you gonna protect that strobe tube somehow?
I broke a few in my time. Also, what are the warning lights for, are you a vollie FF?

hey im not sure how im guna protect the strobe lights, any ideas?? and the warning lights are just for fun mostly, like u see on school buses and things like that.
