NEW Lights and Fusebox installed on Gobi Ranger
So I'm 99% sure no one is running this setup yet... but it is awesome. Let me start by saying all of the lights fit perfectly. And by perfectly I mean they could not be any bigger and still be beneath the top bars. Both the front lights, and the side/rear lights all sit millimeters beneath the top bars so that nothing I put on top of the rack will ever contact them (canoe, fishing rods, etc...)
So the lights are:
Front:
Lights « 57 Series « KC HiLiTES: Auxiliary Lighting, Off Road Lights, HID Off Road Lights, Fog Lights, LED Light Bars, Driving Lights, Light Bars, Wiring Accessories, Flashlights, Torches
2 5x7 All Season
2 5x7 Long Range
Sides and Rear:
Lights « 26 Series « KC HiLiTES: Auxiliary Lighting, Off Road Lights, HID Off Road Lights, Fog Lights, LED Light Bars, Driving Lights, Light Bars, Wiring Accessories, Flashlights, Torches
4 2x6 Back-Up Lights
I chose the reverse lights because they are floods and I really wanted my side and reverse lights for night fishing / camping so they needed to light up a large area around the truck rather than off in the distance. And, as it would turn out, the Back-Up light kit included a bracket intended for the bumper but was necessary to get them to fit on the sides of the rack.
For the wiring, mace on here was running this kit - but it is a relay/fuse block from a company called WiredWagon - I cannot recommend this kit more. I ran one power wire and one ground wire to the battery - and now I have an extremely clean waterproof box containing 5 fused relay circuits and 5 fused non-relay circuits. You can see it in better detail here, but I don't think his included the 5 non-relay circuits:

So, my sub setup is on one of the non-relay circuits and and 3 of the relays are used for my 8 light setup on the roof. 1 for the 2 rears, 1 for the 2 sides, and 1 for the 4 front lights. I ran 3, 12 Gauge power wires to the rear of the truck connected to 3 Contura V switches in Amber/Amber - I have to finish the wiring though, the rack still needs to be connected to power - I'll post some pictures of them on at night when it's completely done.
Also, I mounted a Thule Ski/Snowboard rack that I use to carry my surf casting rods on the roof - I'll take some pictures from the cape of the setup at work this weekend
