Fargo Setup ~ Light Bars [front & rear]
I was asked [by Terry, aka TyTrike], now that I’ve have completed the trailer [that's almost—I hope Friday, 03/12], what will I do until my quad arrives?
..all is well.
I’m full time involved with Fabrication and Modification, each takes a thousand small steps. Probably my Base-Rig is behind schedule. So far have avoided the part from the new Alice in Wonderland … "I’m late, I’m late…." Now that you have declared your neat Trailer as complete, I’m following to see what you will do next till your QUAD arrives?
There is plenty to keep me busy—design completion and system purchases. I responded:
…almost complete. I have another flag and the SMV triangle. Maybe next Friday, 03/12, I’ll color the trailer “complete.”. I’ll still follow Fargo’s design and build. I do not have other special projects. I do have DiNotte light testing to do with the Power Box. Maybe I can tell what Terry is doing with his quad. Glad you are progressing. Thanks for the update. –jim
Yesterday, I decided to make the light bars—one front and one rear. My plan is to attach them to the top of the cage that will enclose the quadricycle. I see the bars as modular. I’m expecting the lighting arrangement I have will give this quad somewhat of a dune-buggy look. That has been in my head since the beginning.
Now, tell me what you think.

The lights make a multi-tiered lighting system. I present details in the next two articles:
- Fargo Setup ~ Front Light Bar
- Fargo Setup ~ Rear Light Bar

Hi,
I like the concept of the light bars. I’m envisioning the front ones mounted along the edge of the canopy where it meets the windscreen. Is that about right? Will the rear light bar be mounted on the trailer or on Fargo? If it is modular, can you move it from Fargo to the trailer as need may dictate?

Hi Zeke,
You are 100% spot-on [concept & location] on the front light bar. OTOH, not so close on the rear. Of course, the trailer has its own lighting. How about the “same location” as the front bar, but in the rear. That gives me lighting high & low and ensures mid-side lighting for the package.
I’m working on the detailed article for the front and hope to have it up by 4:00 p.m. EST.
Thanks!

Zeke,
As to modularity, I can easily remove the bar and I can mount the light w/o the quad being here and then just “plug them0 [packages] in.” I have no plans to use it in other positions.
My front light bar details article is up.

Yes, the same location in the back clearly makes sense. I’ll follow more later. I’m in an appt now.
