I have a G.C. and the 65/45 9004 bulbs are just not brite enough, If i went to say 100/65 off road bulbs would the fuse hold or would i have to rewire something

Since you didn't mention ZJ/WJ, a good place to start:

There is no fuse.
There is a circuit breaker in the headlight switch usually and yes, the strong lights will kill that. Once popped from heat overload, the breaker is forever weak, even if you switch back to lower powered bulbs and you need to replace the switch.
Even just going to halogen lights from stock regular bulbs on the older ones will over heat the switch.
Believe me, it 'really' is no fun when that switch breaker decides to blow and you are 50 miles in the middle of nowhere at midnight....
It is easy to add a dedicated fused power line to a stock bosch relay for the headlights and then to just use the stock wiring to trigger the relay.
Here are some diagrams:
