One of the most unique builds we have seen comes from South Carolina and Carlos Chavira, or otherwise known as @agiywithajeep.  Starting life as a 2009 Jeep JKU as a stock 4-door wrangler, it has morphed into one of the craziest Jeeps on the trails today.Let’s take a dive into what makes Carlos’ Jeep worthy enough to have been one of our 2024 Jeep Beach booth vehicles.“The Jeep started life as a stock 4 door wrangler. We got right into it with a Sawzall and created a two door flatbed conversion to stand out from the rest,” explains Carlos. This created the unique signature look that Carlos was going for with his build.  Once he created his single cab, he then built up the frame for the flatbed and fabricated it all in his garage. The Jeep sits on 42-inch Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires on 17-inch Dirty Life Roadkill beadlocks. To turn this beast, the front axle is a Kingpin Dana 60 and the rear is a GM 14-bolt. Both axles are geared to 5.13 with Yukon Grizzly lockers.  Nemesis front fenders keep debris from flying up, while TNT aluminum belly skit plates protect down below. Under the hood Carlos decided to go big as in a 6.0 LS Swap big block with a stage 2 BTR cam with a Holley mid-rise ram intake and terminator X Max EFI , mated to a 4L80E Automatic transmission. His Baja Designs light package is extensive. Up front he chose a pair of LP9 Pros, and an OnX6+ 20-inch light bar mounted to a VKS front frame chop bumper. Looking lower we see S2 Pros on the steering knuckle providing light down low where his wheels are pointing. An 8XL Linkable light bar using our JK vehicle-specific roof mounts is installed to the roof of the cab and an RTL serving as a chase light is mounted to the rear of the cab.  Clear rock lights are mounted within the wheel wells finishing off the overall lighting package. Powering all of his auxiliary lighting in an sPOD BantamX power management system paired to a touchscreen controller in the cab. Not only is the sPOD powering his lighting, but it is also powering his Holley EFI system.  Carlos controls his Jeep from custom PRP seat covers and rocks out with a full Boss Audio system. Carlos explains of his build, “There isn’t much actual “Jeep” left to the rig, as it slowly turns into a dedicated rock crawler.” While Carlos is still adding to his Jeep, there's no doubt that he has built a one-of-a-kind rock crawler that is truly his. Be sure to follow Carlos on Instagram @aguywithajeep or visit his website at aguywithajeep.com to follow what he does next to his Jeep build.  Products used on @aguywithajeep JKU build: LP9 Pro LED Auxiliary Light Pod Universal Starting At:$617.95 A design that was inspired by Baja Designs legendary 8 inch La Paz HID; The LP9 features modern styling and performance, with some of the most...

The IPTs allows the LP series to provide an incredible 200-degree spread of usable light, combining forward and cornering light in an all-in-one package. uService Lens Replacement – Keeping the LP series running at the highest level means having a lens that is free of damage.

On paper all businesses are the same— quarterly reports, HR, marketing, meetings that could have been emails, and so on. As I write this, I hear Brahian on the phone walking someone through our different products. Micah is working with Doc to fix some bugs on the website. We could all be doing this at any business in any industry, so why HERE? In its second year, the Overland Adventure & Power Sports Show in Pomona, California has introduced an exciting new addition: Wayward Collective. Organized by Nomad Wheels and Roam Adventure Co., Wayward Collective aims to create "a collective of trusted outdoor brands displaying innovative products to enhance your outdoor recreation experience." This past weekend, we were thrilled to participate with our own booth at the Wayward Collection. Getting to be involved in events like the Wayward Collective serves as a powerful reminder of why we do this: the community. Inside the walls of Baja Designs, we're surrounded by passionate people all striving to make this company the best it can be. Stepping outside our doors to interact with brands and customers across our industry, we encounter people from diverse backgrounds, all sharing a deep passion for off-roading, overlanding, racing, construction, and the various communities we serve. This experience reminds us of how lucky we are to be here. As you walk past the booths, Jason from Rig’d Supply directs someone to check out the racks at Sherpa Equipment. Meanwhile, Alex at Sherpa sends another person to see the wheels at Nomad Wheels. Over at Nomad, Carter discusses lighting options for a new camper build. At Baja Designs, Billson praises the quality of Aeronaut Outdoors, as Brandon at Aeronaut shows some people around his Go Fast Camper. At the core of all these businesses are people that are here to support each other and serve a customer and community the best we can. Even if that means sending them to another booth that can fulfill their needs in a different way. We may all be at these events in an official capacity to sell our respective products, but if we weren’t passionate about this community, we wouldn't be here. Thank you Nomad and Roam for letting us be part of the Collective. We look forward to seeing you all at the next event! If you want to come talk to us about the best lights money can buy, or tell us about the adventures they took you on, please come by. We’re just happy to be HERE.

Our good friend Chad Massey, better know as @sd_tremor on Instagram transformed his 2021 Ford Ranger into a capable trail machine that has taken him through the rugged trails of Imogene and Ophir pass in Colorado to tearing up the desert in Ocotillo Wells. Let’s take a look at what makes his Ranger Tremor Special. He started his build from the ground up with Fox 2.5 DSC suspension, DeaverHD leaf pack from APG to handle his overlanding gear, RH fab UCA and extended shackles to tie it all together. Finishing it off is a pair of MRW 305s with Toyo AT3s that allow him to roll over any terrain. He carefully crafted his Baja Designs light package for any adventure, starting with our Ford Ranger Squadron SAE fog pocket kit for illumination on road in inclement weather situations. LP6 Pros are mounted up front using SVC light bar mount, offering light through zones 2, 3 and 4 along with a pair of LP4s on SDHQ a-pillar brackets for that overlanding clout. Out back is a pair of S2 Pros in a chase light configuration. When asked about his choice of lights, Chad explained, “It's probably more lumens than I'll ever need, but hey, gotta have that slight overland clout, am I right?” A Decked drawer system keeps his gear tidy and a Trailgate helps Chad cook up some epic meals while at camp. His Xtrusion XTR1 and iKamper Skycamp mini 2.0 is perfect for nights under the stars. Maxtrax MKII and rotopax round out the expedition essentials for where the trail may lead Chad on his adventures. While Chad still has plenty he is looking to add to his Ford Ranger Tremor, there’s no doubt what he has built for himself so far has been a trustworthy rig that allows him to explore the world around him. “The fun doesn't stop here. There's a whole bunch more in the pipeline for this rig, so stick around and join me and my crew on our wild adventures!” You can follow Chad and his Ford Raptor Tremor on Instagram @sd_tremor Lights used on @sd_tremor Ford Ranger   Squadron-R SAE Fog Pocket Light Kit Ford 2019-On Ranger, 2021-On Bronco NOTE: w/ OEM Plastic Bumper/Capable Bumper $422.95 Elevate your Ford Ranger 2019-on or Ford Bronco 2021-on with the Baja Designs Squadron-R SAE LED fog light replacement kit, offering a road-legal...   LP6 Pro LED Auxiliary Light Pod Universal Starting At:$489.95 The LP6 Pro is a 6-inch powerhouse featuring a total of 11,225 total lumens and of 200-degree spread of usable LED light thanks to the dedicated...   LP4 Pro LED Auxiliary Light Pod Pair Universal $875.95 The LP4 is the smallest variant in the LP lineup but maintains all of the power and features of its siblings.

Jason returned to the 2024 King of the Hammers again to claim his 4th crown of hammers. Behind every great racing driver is a great race car, and Jason's Ford Performance Bronco is no exception. It features a mid-engine 800+ Horsepower Ford Performance V8, sending power down to gear reduction independent suspension portal axles. It has custom Fox LiveValve suspension and BF Goodrich tires. "It is a Trophy Truck for the rocks," as Jason would describe, is a custom race car that utilizes components from a Trophy Truck and rock crawler. This would allow him to go fast in the desert and remain strong enough to crawl through the rocks the size of houses.  While King of the Hammers is run during the day, off-road lights are optional, but they will be crucial for races later in the year that are run entirely at night. The lighting setup is rather simple for this race.  On the A-Pillar are a pair of Baja Designs XL80s, which emit 9022 lumens each light emitting into Lighting Zone 1, 2, and 4, making it a great nearfield and mid-range high-intensity light. We always say no lighting package for racing is complete without XL80s, as it is one of our most versatile lights.    On the bumper of Jason's Bronco are a pair of Baja Designs LP6s on a quick-release bracket that slides in and out of the bumper. The LP6s has a 200-degree spread of usable LED light; thanks to dedicated Integrated Peripheral Technology (IPT), there are 11,225 total raw lumens emitting into lighting zones 1, 2, 3, and 4.  On the back is the Baja Designs RTL, which is necessary and required for all off-road racing organizations. While it not only serves as an identifier chase light for competitors to see you through the dust, it also operates as a brake light. There is even a white light function in the middle to operate as a work light to illuminate the rear of the Bronco.  Unfortunately, this year wasn't the race Jason wanted; it came down to a mechanical failure after leading a good part of the race. That is what racing is; you always have to expect the unexpected, take your losses, and keep moving on. Jason Sherer's determination and commitment to racing is unparalleled, and we know he will be back out there again to win the 2025 King of the Hammers. For now, he has some races to win in Ultra4 USA. 

That is a wrap on the 2024 King of the Hammers, multiple weeks of nonstop off-road racing in Johnson Valley. What is King of the Hammers? It is to be considered to be the toughest off-road race in North America, drawing in over 80,000 people over two weeks. Racers would find themselves driving all out through the harsh desert and navigating rocks the size of houses; it is, without a doubt, the toughest race of the year.  It all led up to the main event of the 2024 Nitto Race of Kings, where many gave it all, but it was Baja Designs driver JP Gomez who would be crowned "King" for the first time ever. After starting last place due to his DNF in qualifying, he passed every single competitor through one of the toughest race courses in KOH history.  JP Gomez Ultra 4 4400 race car is equipped with a Baja Designs 30-inch OnX6+ light bar with a race-legal RTL in the back. While he never needed his light bar during the race, the RTL was in full force, as his competitors could see it cut through the dust passing him on the race course.  The 2024 4WP Every Man Challenge (EMC) es. The 143-mile racecourse comprised a high-speed, rugged open desert lap followed by a second lap on tire-shredding rocky canyons. But it was Bailey-Cole who raced the factory Ford Bronco not only in the Everyman Challenge but also in the Race of Kings and the Desert Challenge. His Ford Bronco is equipped with Baja Designs XL80s on the A-Pillars. The XL80 is one of our favorite lights, emitting 9,500 lumens per light utilizing 80-watt LEDS; these lights cover Lighting Zones 1-4. The Baja Vida Class 11 showdown has been a fan favorite for several years now, and for a good reason: the grassroots racing and driver lineup make for incredible racing despite lacking huge horsepower and suspension. This year was no different. A massive crowd gathered to watch this race, and as usual, the race did not disappoint; it was jam-packed and full of nonstop action. Blake Wilkey was yet again the winner of the Baja Vida Class 11 Showdown. After this race, it might be safe to say Blake Wilkey might hold the best and most consistent record for Class 11 racing with 48 races, 48 finishes, and 43 podiums. But it wasn't only racing at the 2024 King of the Hammers that made it so special; it was the community we cultivated there. One night we met up with our friends from Bad Lines Good Times for a night run and taco party in the desert 10 miles east of Hammers. We enjoyed hanging out and getting to know more people who run Baja Designs because, at the end of the day, there is nothing better than tacos and off-road adventures at night.  The 2024 King of the Hammers is done and dusted, and we were out on the lakebed for nearly three weeks, offering support to our racers and meeting new people. The 2024 King of the Hammers was undoubtedly an unforgettable experience, and we look forward to seeing what next year's event has in store. 

Empty beaches and trails promise great and rewarding challenges that lay ahead for those willing to give it a chance. It is often said that Baja is the last frontier for adventure, from off-road adventures like the most grueling off-road racing in the world, known as Baja 1000, to incredible fishing, surfing, and hiking. No matter what, you are in the mood for an adventure waiting to be had for anyone. Baja Designs and a few friends loaded up our Jeep and headed for the border for an adventure to chase the Baja 1000, which started in La Paz this year. With that in mind, we thought, why not take the long way down? We wanted to create a guide that showcases our adventures, and we thought, why not start with an adventure where it all began? Baja. THINGS TO BRING CAPABLE VEHICLE We recommend bringing a four-wheel drive vehicle with a minimum of 33" tires; while not completely necessary, it is highly encouraged in case you get into those sandy areas so you can minimize the chances of getting stuck. We brought our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL on 37-inch Maxxis tires and Fox Factory 3.0 shocks with a ton of accessories. MEXICAN INSURANCE The truth is that insurance is required in Baja. It is the law, and American insurance policies don't cover international driving, even if you drove that vehicle from the U.S. But not all too often that it is effectively communicated that it is needed. Fortunately, our friends at Baja Bound can make sure you are covered with the proper amount of coverage and can even recommend a few taco stands along the way. Anything could happen in Baja; having the right insurance partner can make your trip stress-free. LIGHTING Of course, the roads can be very dark if you are traveling at night, and having the proper lighting is not only a performance advantage but a necessity for safety on the roads there. While we always recommend our Squadron SAE lights as a necessity for almost any vehicle, it is also important to have a great set of off-road lights with great distance and nearfield visibility. This doesn't mean you need a Trophy Truck lighting package to go explore Baja; in fact, our Jeep is simply overkill and unnecessary for most people. Unless you are prerunning in Baja and moving at 60-80mph off-road, you need a much simpler setup. What we recommend would be a pair of XL80s or LP4s, which is phenomenal lighting for nearfield visibility with great intensity. GETTING THERE Baja California, the long and narrow peninsula that stretches southward from the United States-Mexico border, is rich in history and cultural heritage. We aimed to head south and crossed the border through Mexicali, and from there, it was a two-hour drive on highway 5 until our first stop for tacos in San Felipe on the Sea of Cortez which we camped on the beach. The next day, we headed for Bay of LA or Bahía de los Ángeles, but first, we stopped at the Chenowth Museum, which is filled with many historical Volkswagen buggies that have been racing in Baja since the early 70s. To our surprise, we even found a few with Baja Designs lights on them. We hopped on the highway and headed south, and to make the drive a little more adventurous, we took a 25-mile off-road detour starting at the old Cocos Corner. The views were nothing but spectacular, and we ended up in the Bay of LA. After the course of the next couple of days, we headed further south, stopping at the Misión San Francisco Borja, officially known as Mission Santa Gertrudis, built-in 1721. There is a property care taker who was kind enough to give us a tour of the historic building. We ended up staying the night near there in a beautiful valley, and the next day, we realized we had a long drive to La Paz, but along the way, we made a few stops for the incredible views in Mulege.   BAJA 1000 When we finally arrived in La Paz the next day. We met all of Baja Designs racers at the contingency SCORE International Baja 1000 just before they made their 1300 mile journey to the finish line in Ensenada. The next morning, we chased Bryce Menzies for the Baja 1000, photographing him along the way , and for over 20 hours, we drove 1000 miles back to Ensenada for the finish line where Bryce would win his first Baja 1000. The Long Way to La Paz journey was more than just a thrilling off-road adventure for us. It became a personal exploration through rich cultural heritage, historical landmarks like the Chenowth Museum and Misión San Francisco Borja, and the awe-inspiring landscapes that demanded the right equipment – a capable vehicle, Mexican insurance, and the necessity of proper lighting. As we reached La Paz, our journey unfolded, capturing the essence of Baja's spirit. In the heart of it all, our involvement in the Baja 1000 highlighted not just the race but the enduring legacy of our dominance in the lighting industry. It's a testament to the spirit of adventure that defines Baja California, a journey that left us with memories etched in the dust trails and starlit skies of this remarkable peninsula.

We are thrilled to announce a partnership between Baja Designs and Mr. Shreddy himself, Blake Wilkey. As we welcome Blake to the Baja Designs family, we are thrilled beyond measure about the excitement and energy he brings to our brand. https://youtu.be/nJgW0YFG9Vk?si=nnA2LD4uN9IpHyfN Who Is Blake Wilkey? Eight years ago, a small garage fabricator, Blake Wilkey, made a video tearing up the streets of San Diego with his insane 800-horsepower Baja Bug - it was called Urban Assault. It caused widespread media attention on the internet. Ever since then, he has made a name for himself in the off-road industry, being known to "shred" anything he builds or touches. But today, he is much more than a fabricator or a media personality. Blake is deeply rooted in off-road culture as a racer and a figure in the off-road community. Blake's creations are a testament to his versatility and ingenuity. From a nimble 76 horsepower Class 11 Race Beetle named "Slug Shark" to a screaming 560 horsepower Baja Bug called "Megladon." But it isn't just old Volkswagens he tampers with; he has built himself a mini jet boat and even a Polaris RZR. JAWS the TT Bug And just when you think he's reached the pinnacle, he introduced "Jaws" – a full-tilt Trophy Truck that is about the furthest thing from a standard beetle. While we will eventually dive into every vehicle Blake owns, let's discuss the lighting on the Jaws trophy Truck Bug. Up front in the headlights are Baja Designs LP6 with a blue backlight, making a great nearfield and midfield light. On the bumper is the Baja Designs 10" OnX6+ amber with a combo lens emitting 10,817 lumens into zones 1, 3, and 4, making it an excellent light for cutting through dust while providing amble distance. With the combination of those lights, it covers most lighting zones crucial for off-road racing except for Zone 5, which is reserved for the Baja Designs Racer edition lights. The roof light rack holds seven Baja Designs XL Racer lights that throw light into a far-spot narrow beam for speeds in excess of 80 MPH. The rest of the TT Bug utilizes an assortment of Baja Designs Rock Lights in the fender and even uses them as lights in the vehicle's cab with a Baja Designs RTL in the back. As a result, the Baja Designs on Blake's TT bug is the perfect lighting package to go racing. While he has no immediate night races coming up we wouldn't be surprised to see it in Baja one day. A Perfect Partnership Baja Designs and Blake Wilkey share a common ethos – a deep-rooted love for off-road culture and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible. As this partnership develops, we're welcoming Blake not just as an ambassador or racer but as a genuine off-road enthusiast who brings incredible excitement to Baja Designs. What's Next? With this partnership, the journey is only beginning. You can expect to see more exciting projects and collaborations that bring excitement and innovation to the industry. Welcome to the team Blake.
