Re: Preferred wiring harness
I have a Painless...it wasn't. They don't tell you, until you open the box and read the instructions, they don't supply all (some but not all) of the factory plugs or bulkhead grommets and the headlight portion of the harness is split at the headlight plugs, needing to be "butt" splice connected, crimp connectors supplied by them. I am not a fan of "butt" splicing. Soldiering and heat shrink tubing is the only way to go.
I got a good deal when I bought it from Summit. I think I paid $365 and Painless was giving $100 back.
I spent an additional $100 - $150 on other wiring supplies: heat shrink tube (four different sizes), nylon braided wire loom (two different sizes), several sizes of nylon wire ties, grounding kit from Summit/Ron Francis (ground buss, heavy braided ground strap and misc. ground wire), several (four) relays and several (6 - 8) watertight connectors.
Don't skimp on dedicated grounds for all of the different devices in your electrical system, individual lights, alternator, gas tank fuel level sender, radio, air conditioner...you get the idea. If you have a goofey electrical problem, it's a ground.
