    Now to can see how they will be like rear side fills

    I read somewhere that the number of lights one has on their truck directly correlates oppositely to the size of the owners penis...

    :woot:

    its official!!

    Just bought the following for dual batteries.

    Yellowtop battery
    2 mini volt meters
    12' red 4ga wire
    6ft black 4 ga ground wire
    500amp relay/isolator
    dual optimum/2 single optimum battery tray(s)
    CS144 140amp alternator(love this, got it for a great deal especially after i send in my old stock one, will be under 100 bucks!) This alternator may not seem "high output" but in a way its better. Most HO alternators require high rpms to actually work. This think at idle will give me over 100amps. Will work great.

    gonna be nice! can't wait! i have wanted to do this for ever!
