where did you get the switches? I'm likely going to go with a 20 or so inch bar and 2 worklights on the side, pointed 10 and 2.. Plus a winch, of course. I love how clean that looks.

I really like that winch switch. Would also like to know where you got them from.

What kind of run time do you get from your 20" bar? Mine draws 7 amps and I am worried it will drain the battery pretty quick.

If the motors running, it should last about an hour after the gas runs out using the factory battery.

Once you add more than about 350 watts you'll need a bigger battery that can take a deep discharge, between the other systems and that draw youll be pushing the charging system past it's ability to maintain the charge on the battery. But if you have loads like that or winch a lot you'll need to let the charging system catch up occasionally or even with the bigger battery you'll have the same problem.

Here is a very technical explanation of rated battery capacity.
Might help you choose a battery size.

Nice little explanation there, thanks for posting. Is there anywhere that shows what the system draw is for the P500 running stock?

Was able to sneak outside for an hour and Installed two of the four work lights. Feel rigid mounted to the roof. Hooked em up to a temp power supply to see how they looked. I'm happy. I'll run the wiring and install the switches when I'm done mounting.

How did you like the cube faceing out the sides? did it work well for you?
