get another battery and either a super-duty alternator or a second one
even then, don't leave them on, or stand in front of the truck without sunscreen

I'll keep yall posted on what i decide on. What do you guys think of mounting the lights directly on the cab? My dad has a light bar that you can put on thats held by magnets so you dont have to drill holes in the cab. I dunno i might just see how it looks and if not then i'll get rollbars. OrneitheroneI have no idea all i know is my bed is nakid now that my tonneou cover is destroyed. But insurance is paying up so i'm gonna have a little room to play with
