I'm part of the club (except the rear lights.) I too plan on getting a dual battery because I do have a winch.
My wife was driving her car behind me one dark night and was amazed at how well all my lights lit up the road. My dad said it reminded him of the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

What's the footprint of that battery? I know a lot of people choose the Optima because it's smaller and will fit on that dual battery tray. I wonder if that Die-Hard will to.

It's a 34...they make both 34 and 34/78s, as do the optima. Physical size/dimensions...IDK. It seemed to me the same size as my stock battery.

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.
