    Youve got some nice headlights but that light bar seems kinda lackluster it seems. My light bar lights shit up, i wonder if you are loosing alot of light with it being tucked in and behind your bumper there??
    My bar does what your bar plus headlights are doing, atleast it seems so from the pic...my bar is a single row 30"

    I'm sure it does lose ~10-20% of its' output from being hidden away, especially on the ends where the flood LEDs are located. The pictures aren't the greatest but you can see where the light bar reaches that the headlights don't.

    I got a good deal on a BD 30" arc bar. Hoping it does the trick.

    Stock alternator should have no issues with the tiny power LED's draw.

    I'm running an sPod for all of my electrical add-ons
