What's everybody's favorite source for buying wiring/looms/etc.?
Here's my cab wiring that leads to my dome-light and cargo-light. I'm putting in another light in with the dome light but on a different circuit. I'd like to keep it looking stock (the loom and orange/white-doublewire you see there).

Can't leave out Waytek Wire (https://www.waytekwire.com/) for larger quantites of SXL wire and ISO relay parts.
The Electrical Depot has quite a lot of the more common Delphi connectors and even some oddball stuff like the GT150 terminals.

I just got a complete 21 circuit wire harness to rewire my entire truck for under $200.
http://www.ezwiring.com/store/viewitem.php?productid=4
I know several hot rod builders who swear by EZ Wiring harnesses....their recommendations led me to purchase one. It is no different from a Painless apart from the $600 difference in price. I bought mine off of Amazon. The harness comes complete, as pictured, with full directions, firewall fittings, steering column plugs, etc.
I'm very happy with the quality of the system.....and though I haven't installed it yet, I can't see any difference in quality from the Painless harness that's currently installed (and soon to be replaced 8) )

Quick question: That loom in the OP pic, would that be a "asphalt coated" kind?

Happy to assist!

Found a site that sells SXL wiring around 10$ less than the others I've seen: "spectrowireandcable"
How's about quality of these sources? Any problems (material, flaws, etc.)? Someone on another forum did some tests on speaker wire resistivity and found notable variances.

A couple more to add to the list:
Crimp Supply (https://crimpsupply.com) (comprehensive electrical supply source, including Amphenol, Aptiv/Delphi/Packard, and Deutsch)
Wire Care (https://www.wirecare.com/) (another good source for various electrical supplies)
Some of the listed vendors are significantly more forgiving on shipping costs, so shoppers beware and compare pricing before committing to purchases.
