    I wanted to add that I'll piggy back load wires in light groups, but every light will have an individual ground. I did take the time to ground and re-ground everything from the body, frame, engine and bed.

    A lot of batteries are fine. Unless you live on a road so washboard, you're going sideways to keep the wheels straight.

    Holy crap, Kazoo....I'm definitely happy to hear that you did not have an unpleasant vehicular episode.
