M38A1 wiring harness

I have been shopping around for a complete wiring harness for my M38A1 jeep and found over $100 difference in prices ($420-$525). Command wiring has the cheapest. Has anyone used his? With what kind of results? Thanks, Kendall

I have not used their wiring harness.

I bought one from Vintage wiring of Maine and cannot complain one bit so far.

I am interested in hearing what others have to say though.

For the M38 I also found the Vintage Wiring of Maine a very good product, only 1 end fell to bits when I was assembling it into the jeep which is not bad for what is I guess a hand made labour intensive item.
In retrospect I wish I'd bought the one that included the wiring for the indicators but I didn't know about it when I ordered it.

It didn't contain the thick reg to genny cable which I thought would be in the set. I would have also bought that cable if it had been available.
I also forgot that I would need a lot of female-female conectors and a good handfull of 2 into 1 connectors which held me up for a while.

I bought a Vintage Wiring of Maine product for my M-38 CDN it had all that was needed from the VR to the lights and gauges, was very well made and he will do custom additions...

I had the convoy light wiring added.

Hope this helps...

I have never heard of Command Wiring. Why are they cheaper? Do they only provide you the main harness and nothing else?

Where did you find them at? I Googles them and nothing came up.

I bought a Vintage Wiring of Maine harness for my M38A1. It's the most expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I also got mine from Vintage Wiring of Maine, and I'm extremely pleased with it. Great quality all around and everything WORKS like its supposed to.

Command Wiring was listed under the "Wiring/Electrical" heading in an old MVM web directory (www.commandwiring.com). I know that Vintage wiring of Maine has very good product, that was why I was skeptical of this other guy with his price. His is suppose to include everything except the gen/reg. cable.
