Haven't been on here in months! Haven't had the drive to do any more lightbar stuff since I don't have a place to put my pretty babies when they are done, but I found a Vision under some of my stuff (I knew it was there, but I always thought it was a vector and forgot about it!). Pulled it out and pulled one of the domes off to find the inside practically NOS looking! Just that gave me the drive to build a second custom CHP "Dumb" Vision! (smart vector boards is a step backward lol)
I'm planning on spending close to another 30hrs on this bar like I did the other one.
I researched whether or not to keep it a vision and track down the right brain and controller for it, but looking at what I could program I found that one- I would not be able to have as many modes as my smart vector board config, and 2- I couldn't program certain CHP modes. So out goes the vision boards for smart vectors! If only I could find 5 good boards for real cheap.. :ugh:
Tested all the pods and they worked flawlessly!
I cleaned off my work table in the garage and set the bar down after I had to cut off one of the tray cover bolts. Spent the afternoon carefully taking it apart, bagging each type of bolt, and setting the large parts aside.
This weeks goal is to prep the frame for paint, clean the pod internals, clean the tray, paint frame, find a wire harness, and assemble the frame.
And I think i want to buy all new filters and possibly clear domes. I need to find a buffer drill attachment to polish the insides of the new domes I have (deep scratches had to be sanded out on the inside...) I have NOS pod bases that I got off ebay, and NOS tray cover/TA light shield.
Testing the pods
I found two TA wiring harness's, I want to use one on this bar with the Vision's short TA wiring with a quick disconnect plug so taking the tray cover off is easier.
What's left of the other CHP Vision my dad has. Frame has some damage, so I'll just use the tray unless I fix the damage.
There's so much room for activities! (Step Brothers reference:haha: )
