    Stayed home from work today just feeling like crap. Not a good day.. Then saw you posted a video. Happiness is now in abundance, there is dancing and much merriment. Haven't even saw the content yet, but I just love your episodes. Thanks for not giving up since all the bad that happened to you and yours. I could see living proof that GOD is good. God bless you and your friends and family. I live in the Minneapolis area and cannot wait to see what you bring to the back to the 50's. Later.

    I'm just about to wire my Jeep CJ5 and having never wired a car, this video hit at the right time. I wish I had purchased a Painless harness instead of the cheap Amazon kit. It came with absolutely no instructions.

  • @DoublecabTom
    @DoublecabTom Před 3 měsíci +5

    I prefer the painless Harness! They are worth the money.
    I really like the instruction guide that Painless sends.
    I always write what part number the switches, relays ext. are in the notes and keep the book in the car.
    IT can come in REAL hand on the road trying to troubleshoot problems.

    You are a wiring genius , I know that it is much more relaxing than body work and that is easier to do long term . The truck sounds a tiny bit rough but that will straighten out as the build comes together . Thank you so much for having us along , this is starting to come together very nicely . God Bless you and yours , Stuart in Ontario ..

    if you have extra wiring for the rear, maybe consider some lighting under the tonneau cover. The newer trucks with the led bed lighting are pretty sweet.

  • @morgansword
    @morgansword Před 3 měsíci +2

    Much quicker than placing old wiring in to see it fail sooner or later and just doing a whole loom like this would be many more hours of time. So painless in the future builds or just redo old wires is a honest question that will be answered when you do another video. And as they say... "all work and no play makes Brent a sad boy"

    I have to admit, I like the Painless system that you have. It looks very practical and you can loom things while you are in progress. |Very straight forward and easy to figure out. Your switches and hardware are the only challenge. Nice

    I'm finding my body, but I'm enjoying.
    It slowly. I've converted the wiring harness over to a spade type views from 80s truck.
    Using most of my old wearing harness which is simple. Thank goodness I'm good wearing harasses.

    Back in the day, and bear in mind that I am now 76 and in the UK, I was quite happy to rewire cars or even build cars and wire them, but when fuel injection and computerisation became the norm I switched back to older motorcycles which were , and still are, easy to modify and customise to ones own needs. Full marks to you for being able to master the intricacies of modern wiring systems and I do find it very informative and supportive watching you work your magic on the copper snakes.

    I'm sure I'm not the first to do it, But when I would wrapped harness wiring I would use a eye bolt , The ones with a gap ,Slip the wire inside the eye through the gap and then run it down the inside of the wrap ,Providing its a split wrap ,Worked for me.

    Hello Brent, the dome light wire could power a GM old styled under the hood trouble light with the retractable harness built in. It's long enough to use from front to rear (to fine stuff in the bed or change tires in the dark). As always, another great video, Thank you Sir.

    This is an awesome kit. I know how much fun wiring can be, scratch wired the Fargo, used the oem s-10 wiring in the Studebaker. Charlie’s us getting an amazon kit, as well as my next project. Seens the painless kit is less painful. I like the wiring cover kit. Could have used that a few times over.

It was super cool and satisfied the “requirement” for a 3rd light…it certainly got the attention at night…
