Now the lights... what kind of lights should i get?? My friend said he has the Hella 4500 but he's not quite sure, i don't wanna get some stupid tiny ones and have it look empty.

Also i got a ladder with it but no hardware and don't wanna start drilling holes and what not. what to do about it?

Forget the lights. Spend the money on a bumper or a lift or lockers. Something that is Functional, not just for looks.

i don't need lockers, TCS does the job just fine for the very little wheeling i do, i don't have $1000 for rovertym, and the lift was cancelled because i found the rack, next will be the lights and my mile marker 12,000 lbs winch. Lift will come in november for my b-day.

Maybe it is just me, but usually those 2 don't go together. I mean sure a winch could come in handy on a vehicle even if you go wheeling once. But I don't see you getting your return investment out of a winch that you will use very little if at all. But hey, if you got the money more power to ya I guess.

well it's very little wheeling because there's not much time between work and school.

Be prepared for a TON of sag in the front if you add the winch before the lift. The stock springs won't be able to handle the additional weight.
