Cruising is all about being noticed while rollin' a pimped-out ride.
Whether you are rolling with your music blaring, draggin' frame, or shoutin' out to a carload of Bettys, cruising is all about being noticed while rollin' a pimped-out ride. Now there's an easy way to make sure no one misses you, even in the most congested cruise-night traffic jam. New to the aftermarket is the Sparkoo Wildsparks kit by CoolArc Inc. This kit, once installed on your ride, will emit sparks like you've never seen before at the touch of a button. The best part is the fact that it won't damage your undercarriage - and no one can keep from staring at a ride that's shooting 5-foot streams of white sparks from its undercarriage.
Follow along to find out how easy it is to install the Wildsparks kit. Contact CoolArc to find out how to grab a kit for your own pimped-out sparkin' machine, and go to www.minitruckinweb.com to see the Sparkoo units in action!
Tech Tips:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Use new crimpers.
3. Test the voltage with a test-light.
4. Use no more than two Sparkoo rods.

1.To start, we'll route a power wire from the battery into the cab of the truck. This is where we'll make the connection between the Wildsparks switch, the power, and the Sparkoo units we'll be installing at the rear of the truck.

2.Next, the wire was run through the firewall and down the passenger-side of the cab, where we simply routed the switch wire from between the seats to the wiring coming from the battery.

3.All it took was a couple of crimps to bring power to the switch and allow us extra wire (included) to route the switched main power wire toward the rear of the truck.

4.Moving to the back of the truck, we used the L-brackets supplied in the kit to mount the Sparkoo units.

5.Because the framerail already has holes in it, we simply marked the L-brackets, drilled them on a drill press, and bolted them directly to each framerail from the outside. There is no right way to install the brackets; just make sure they've been secured to the chassis of the vehicle.

7.Next, determine the left and right Sparkoo units by looking for the R and L marked on each unit. Install the Sparkoo unit by sliding three clamps onto the unit and then sliding the unit over the L-bracket.

8.Make sure to tighten all three clamps on the L-bracket to secure the Sparkoo unit under the truck. Also, be sure the opening in the unit is rotated to where you want the sparks to go - out the back of the truck!

9.With the unit in place and rotated properly, run the power wire from the cab rearward, and connect it to the wiring that extends from the Sparkoo units. Make sure you don't have any loose wiring; zip ties are our friends. Also be sure to ground the Sparkoo unit.

10.OK, we have the unit installed; now we have to load it. There's a load of spark rods that come with the kit, so load one or two of the rods into the chamber as shown.

11.Next, load the spark rods using the spring included with the kit, and then slide the brass tube over the tube that extends from the Sparkoo unit.
12.Using one or two of the...
12.Using one or two of the lock-down bands supplied, hook one end at the end of the loading tube and the other at the base of the Sparkoo unit. Only use the type of bands supplied; rubber bands are not suitable for use.
13.Now that one side of the...
13.Now that one side of the installation is complete, just install the other side and jump the power connection to it in order to operate both Sparkoo units with a single switch.
14.Sparks anyone?
