JT Outfitter's Wire Harness - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

CrznDawg · 09-26-2003, 09:51 AM

Hey guys,
I tried to search on this but did not come up with any results. I have been seeing a wire harness on Ebay from JT Outfitters. I was wondering if any have had experience with this wire harness. I have dealt with Painless wiring and I know how easy there installation is and that there quality is excellent. But that Painless wiring option does cost money. Plus, there are two more circuits on the JT Outfitter wire harness.
I have not dealt with JT Outfitters. So I do not know if this is a good product or not. Hence, that is why I am asking you. Your opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

CrznDawg

I can't vouch for the quality of this product but I can warn you about shitty service and incorrect parts.

just my opinion!

Sigh.... I do NOT like people bashing Vendors... but...
JTOutfitters finally did come through on my clutch parts,
only took six MONTHS to finally get a clutch cover, disk,
throughout bearing, pilot bearing, and pilot tool. It was
so funny that I really didn't get pissed about it, but
was amazing.

Uh, only time I have bought from them since is for a
new JAPAN master cylinder. OEM Toyota one (Aisin), which
they had for $90 vs $180 to $240 from other sources.
Talked to Joe personally, and it actually arrived.

Uh.... Brian has the better deal for ya (just looked
at summit, which has it for $371). Only thing I remember
about those is the use of GM connectors, which is a pain...
but worse is building your own harness (I have about
$1000 in crimpers and connectors... this is NOT the way
to go as all you buddies show up and raid your stuff!

Just hope they bring REAL beer (stout, porter, ale!)

Only had one minor problem with JTO... Ordered 2 sets of u-bolts, they only sent one. Called 'em up, had the next set the next day, no questions asked.

My stuff is always shipped the day I call as well... which can be a nice change!

It's better to call than order online.
