Off Road Lights....

Question?

I've got a safari rack mounted on the roof and I'd like to add 4 KC hi lights (3 up front, 1 in the rear) Would the stock alternator work in this set-up? I also have a rack mounted on the front bumper that I'd like to add lights to in the future. (cluster of 3)

Now, it I do need to upgrade, how big of an alternator should I use?

Thanks

Big Mick

This is the Fishing Pole rack that I'm going to mount 3 KC HIlights on. This will serve 2 functions,

1: to light up the beach when pulling in fish
2: personally think it will look cool...

So what do you guys think? Will the stock alternator work for this application?

Thanks

The factory alt will probably be OK. Any more lights and you'll want to start thinking seriously about an upgrade though.
