    Depends on how long your power wire will be and your anticipated draw.
    4 gauge is good for up to 150 amps and is what I ran to mine.

    Hmm, ok. I guess I'll have to take a look at what's goin on in there. Need to leave room in the bay for a water pump and possibly air compressor :spy:

    I removed my dimmer switch to make room for aux switches. It's just a potentiometer so if you just cut it out and connect the two leads you'll stay on full brightness which is what I always had mine set on anyways.

    Wire up some resistors. Or what you can do is just adjust the pot how you want and zip tie it inside the dash.

    No problem

    Yep. 4G and you're set for future.
    I run my ARB air compressor, 42" roof bar, 3 HID driving lights, rock lights, 20" amber, and misc LED's throughout the truck (under hood, toolbox, dust lights) all off my box.
