$73.34 total for 100ft each of black and red 10 gauge fine strand machine tool wire. Nice and flexible, while still beefy. Basically 37 per 100 ft of wire. I figure that will be way more than enough for everything I want to wire up on the Jeep anytime soon. Although I may buy some 8 gauge wire for when I eventually get a Taurus Fan.

If you dont mind me asking, why so many lights? Do you need them?
I could see them for backwoods use etc, but those will blind anyone on the road and you would have to be going 100 mph to outrun what appears to be your hid headlights. I have 6000k hid's in mine with euro housings and thats way more than enough light.

well i live in A LOT of woods there are many trails/paths that go through them. the fogs and regular headlights are for normal driving, the bumper lights are for backroads (to spot deer way ahead of time) and extreme weather conditions (e.g. this past winter in the NE was crazy) the new roof lights are aimed so the middle 2 jump past the bumper lights and the side 2 are pointed off to the side so i have a wider angle of lights those are used when i have bond fires, offroading, or when i go to the lake at night!

what you spent for lights an stickers coulda got a bb at least
Thats where I was getting at. Stop doin the easy stuff and turn some bolts!
for 2-300 (easily what you have in lights and stickers) you could have a 2" lift, disco the swaybars and youll go way farther than stock.
