Hello, currently planning on setting up some light bars, CB radio, and maybe some fog lights. Will I need a second battery for this stuff or just a electrical distribution box type deal?

Nah, just a fusible distribution block will be fine. With switches and relays to control the individual loads

Yep. What Deeb said. Highly recommend Blue Sea for the fuse box. OTRATTW for switches and any Bosch type relay.

I'll add that you should probably get a fully potted, waterproof relay. Also, you could consider getting relays with matching waterproof wiring harnesses, but those are rather expensive. I think just as long as the relay itself is waterproof and you install it in a good spot you should be fine.

Yeah. Didn't think of that since all of my stuff is inside the truck

Yeah I found a pretty good thread with a whole lay out of the wiring, it's all just rather intimidating since I'm no electrician. Fuse box looks solid tho
