Aww, Great Find! When you need something like3 ft of purple wire, buy 20 of it just doesn't make sense! Sweet. Thank you so much.

I'm prepping for redoing my harness and was wondering which company you went with and how many colors/gauges you used? TXL or GXL wire? Wiring sleeves/looms?

Waytek apparently has a minimum of 100ft so KayJayCo looked the best at about $100 for 14, 20ft rolls of 16 gauge GXL.

I know of the EZ wire kit, but being somewhat of a wannabe electrical engineer, I'd like to do the wiring myself and not just plug in a new set.

So any sources where I can buy maybe 25ft spools of all of the various color coded wires required for the GT?

Thanks
Believe it or not, Harbor Freight tools have a wire spool rack that comes with 12 colors or 25 or 50 foot rolls. The cost is less tan $50 for either one.

Check it out

Not a bad deal!
