    Ya, that will probably be the best way to do it without going over kill right off the bat!

    I bought one of those fuseboxes for my bike. Best 20 bux I spent. Im kind of a neat freak with wires. Basically you can't tell what is stock wiring and what's my wiring.

    neat wires are easier to trace and fix as well.

    You might want to swap in a second battery eventually, just cuz of all the juice you're pulling. The Red Tops are good for stock vehicles, but the Yellow Top are better for ones with lots of accessories. You'll probably be ok unless you add some subs and amps (...like jarrett :jester: )

    Another thing about having 2 batteries, you can have it rigged up to start off the Red Top, and if that ever dies, jump it with the Yellow Top :peace:

    Well I am currently running my 55w hid headlights, electric fans, 2 compressors, and 2 amps off the red top. I have ordered 4 hella 500ff converted to 55w hids and will also be putting in my 55w hid fogs, so I may half to upgrade to the yellow and sell the red. I don't really see anywhere under the hood to mount the second battery.

    you should be able to set them side by side, where the current one sits, unless they placed the 07 in a different spot then my 04 is.

    I will take a pic of my engine bay when my truck gets off the rack, they had the steering wheel about 2 clicks off center to the left! Can't stand that.
