    I'm new here I know you need to search first but I couldn't find anything in the forums or I just don't know how to run it properly. I have an 06 TRD sport and I'm wanting to put on 5 LP6's with an UpTop Overland roof rack. I know some people that have them on and the high beam is too much for the truck's alternator and I was curious to see what you guys have to say? I also plan to run more lights like Baja 30in S8 light bar, and Squadron Pro for fogs, and S2 Pro for backup lights, I also plan to run a winch as well. Thanks in advance!!

    I put in high output by Singer Alternators. I love it. Mechman makes good ones too.

    If you ever think of trying the eBay high output ones, what you'll actually be getting is a low output alternator.

    Even the dudes selling you those lights (Baja) don't recommend putting the LP series on the roof. You're wasting all of the periphery lighting that they provide.

    The only folks that do this sort of thing are the goofballs on instagram that take pictures of their trucks at Alabama Hills. Just stick a pair of them on your front bumper and be done with it.
