    Someone had this up before, (sorry that I can't remember who but thank you) This will give you a rough look at what you're up against.

    There is a bit more math involved about upgrading an alternator. To much for me. I'd read along and figure out what the smarties are doing.

    Use relays and good wire and connectors. Make sure you weather proof all connectors 'cause down the line you'll be sorry.

    Have fun.

    A few bolts are different.
    Awesome they have changed the gusset design on the bar. Looks more beefed up then mine does.

    I like that yours is the flat black finish. And yes, get two more lights for the middle, it will make it look so much more badass!!

    it has two brackets that extend from the frame so the bar mounts to the brackets and the brackets mount to the frame.. no cutting at all no modifying... super easy, but through out the directions they are rubbish.

    heres the weird part i got 2 100wtt kc daylighters form a local guy and wanted two more lights in the middle (i dont think the other 2 are in the pictures more to come) but the ones i got i found at G.I. joes, black bird, shucks, napa, and harbor frieght, they are everywhere. they are EXACTLY the same as my kcs. i cant stress that enough EXACTLY (just no kc logo.)
    so i have 2 100wt kcs on the outside and 2 100wtt piolets on the inside.

    the lights come in a lot of different names or brands i guess. but they are all the same 6" rounds chrome housing... with 4 of them i can fry rabbits in any field great thumper hunting lights. but off road and hwy use they are amazing. plenty of light see for days. easy to install and easy to aim.

    there is a lot brighter out there but the price is 20 bucks! you really cant beat it and if you decide to go brighter later you are only out 20 a light... the kcs are more but the other ones are $20.

    i love them they look good chrome and are just a nice well built light :)

    ill post my wireing job also if anyone wants to see it

    go for the n-fab light bar, takes about 20 minutes to install, i went with 4 piaa 520 lights, they look good, 6" round. do a search about piaa 520 and somebody has a picture with them lit up and loves them. I would take a picture but have not wired them up yet.
