By the time you spend all the money on the quality different colored wires, various connectors, shrink sleeve, then buy the fuse block and the relays and figure your time, the aftermarket harness isn't that bad of a deal. The last Painless 12 circuit universal harness I bought was about $250.00, by specific application they are higher. Another point, the painless wires are labeled all along the full length of the wire as to which component they go to.
I used the 18 circuit Painless wiring universal street rod kit and it cost about $280 when I got it a while back. I would say it was by far the best money I spent on an application for my pickup. VERY, VERY easy to follow instructions and their tech support is great! I plan on using their products in the future.
