Because 10 headlights is a jeep thing...
Added four KC 26 Series lights to the front of my Gobi rack and two to the rear, vehicle is now ready for the Zombie Attack of 2012.
Still have a bit of adjusting to do to get them angled and tightened down more, but the lights definitely fill the emptiness of the front of the roof rack.

Not yet...it's definitely in consideration, especially when I put a winch on there, but it's just gonna be a PITA since I have all my light relays mounted to the battery tray right in front of the battery between it and the fuse box. Plus, my painless Cirkit boss fuse box is mounted to my battery tray also, so alot of stuff would need to find a new home.
Power draw isn't TOO horrible right now, the 26 series lights are only 55w each, but the Slimlites are 130s. The four on the front of the rack are actually split in pairs to their own relay and fuse but switched together on a 20a switch...all together shouldn't draw anymore than 18.3a from those four lights.
I do need to replace my stock battery though...like tomorrow...I've been on here trying to figure out which to go with and it seems a lot of folks are running the Optima yellow top with mixed reviews. I definitely need something deep cycle with more CCA ASAP so it wont be DOA while in BFE, but that yellow top has a price tag.

That's a very nice setup. I need to rework my lights today I guess. I will need a second battery soon. Some on here recommend the sears diehard for better warranty, I forget what series it is.

Went to Sears today and picked up a Die-Hard Platinum Group 34, which is a relabeled Odyssey PC1500. Can't argue with the 880CCA and 135m reserve deep cycle, far exceeds the Yellow Top for the same price ($189).
