Trying to wire up zj harnesses on my drivers side right now and my original harness has 9 wires that are 12 gauge while my zj harness only has 8. Can one of these wires be down graded to 18 gauge or must I just get another set from the yard?

Match what you can but stepping from 12 to 18 is far from ideal. I did it and haven't had any ill effects due to the wiring. Nothing runs constant enough to melt the wires, or I haven't run anything constantly enough.

I've got two sets, one with 18 wires and one with 23.the 23 I was planning on using for the passenger side but if need be I'll use it for the driver. What wire did you downgrade to 18?

More wires pass thru the drivers side. I'd use the 23 for the drivers side.

Not on mine at least. 20 for the drivers, minus two speakers since they're in a sound bar and 24 for the passenger, minus two blah blah.

I'm just going to use the 23 one for the drivers and the 18, cut it down of course, for one side of the rear doors. Then I'll grab some more at the yard

Lol 98 I'm not sure why I think I heard somewhere about how both the driver side and passenger side Window controls controlled the windows, locks and mirrors so there were extra because of that

Thought there was a specific version of the ZJ harness that has all the wires the XJ does, plus or minus one.

I've read that they're all the same other then the amount if wires. At least for me I had to get them from a ZJ limited with an infinity sound system

Just bought some trim paint in a spray can from walmart, due to on my 97, the fender flares, bumper caps are all faded, and look horrible. Have you guys used this before, is it decent ? Or before I start using it , should I return it, and go with something else? I thought it was pretty cool, due to it has a Cherokee on it lol :P http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rust-Oleum...Paint/17130262

It works decent. Clean the trim up good and put on a couple coats and it'll turn out decent.
