I have 130A 3g on my bronco and tested it can pump out 160 Amps. That more than enough for those extras. besides its not like your gonna use everything at once, why blast the sterio while winching out the truck?
Plus when I worked at an electric shop, amps and sterios pull alot less than most people think.

Get yourself a 3G, it's almost a bolt in.

Junk yard or auto parts. I used to work for this guy also, and still most of my parts from including my starter.

You probly have to call or e-mail him cause all he has on the website is the most common stuff like chrome hot rod stuff.

You can also get a 3G from http://www.fordfuelinjection.com Fireguy 50 (off FSB) sells them. He can also tell you the years 3G's came in cars so you can score you one from the junkyard.
