    Single battery, Everything is LED and actually draws less power than halogen and incandescent lights.

    This might be a little creepy but I just stumbled upon your build and I'm pretty sure I saw your truck pulling into Walmart in Westfield a few weeks ago as I was pulling out in my Grey TRD Sport. Really liked the way your truck looked. Keep it up

    One thing I have forgotten to talk about here was my @Mobtown Offroad ribbed tailgate skin and cap. One of the best purchases Ive made for my truck! Highly recommended.
    IMG_3478.jpg

    Also, I just picked up this truck box. Got itfrom a guy who had a Ford Ranger. Just going to clean it up, prime and paint it. If I like it I'll use it in the summer, if not ill sell it. My main concern is that is is too big and my four wheeler wont fit in the bed.

    Just about finished up the paint on the truck box. I think it came out really nice! Just need to touch up a couple of spots on the bottom where the saw horses are and it will be done.

    Quick update: Since last post here I have sold both my 20" light bar and Bullbar, and replaced it with an OPT7 C2 LED light bar. Ive also sold my tool box I painted up to @Sr5_Tacoma. I hope Its working out well in his old Pickup.
