Default Headlight Wiring Harness Upgrade-Which One?

Okay, I'm ready for the harness upgrade. I've seen them on a few different sites, but which one do you guys think I should get?

Sure is! Extremely simple to do. All it requires is a screwdriver and about 30-45 minutes of your time.

You can read through this thread, a lot of people have great things to say about the harness and how easy it is to put in. On one of the pages, a guy wrote out the instructions for installation. You won't be disappointed with the upgrade

Thanks! I've also got a little bit of a plan for bigger tires, new gear ratio, and a locking differential for the rear
Oh, and I LOVE this forum.

Well I have roughly 5 inches of lift, and its been that way for about 6 months now. I've been saving my money up ever since (I'm 16 so it takes a little longer haha) And I'm chomping at the bit. I'd like to do 32's with 4.10 gears and a Detroit truetrac in the rear. Possibly some stronger shafts with a higher spline count. I've been looking at the goodyear wrangler tires and I like the duratracs, and the kevlar ones.

Amazon sells the same harness for about $15 cheaper. I just got it and installed it and it looked exactly like the picture on the eatoworks website.

I got the heavy-duty harness from LMC Truck, part #36-3580. Just go to "View Cart" and it lets you enter that part #. It's only $40.70 including shipping.

I paired that with AutoPal E-Codes that I got off EBAY:

1000x better than stock lighting!
