    Anyone know where to buy this double female wire with the weather protection already installed? I can only find the wire like in the second picture...

    Raney’s has it by the roll. Not sure how quick you need it. 0C74E55E-4D2D-4C2B-955C-0FBDBBC367DC.png

    I agree with Bob check the nearest chrome shop first. I've had good luck with 4 State Trucks in Joplin for stuff like that.

    If you get down that way I think I’ve seen it at Kenly 95 also.

    Ya, they all sell it plain though, I'm looking for it with the weather protection on it, like in the first picture. Can't find it anywhere?

    Oh I see. I guess I never really paid attention to the difference. You might be able to contact Grand General directly. I had to call them once about a product and they seemed helpful and I could understand what they were saying over the phone.

    No idea where to get the original wiring with
    The sheathing already installed but this company has a wide variety of split sheathing that would protect the wires

    Don't mean to hijack your thread and this has nothing to do with the op just something I've been thinking and when you started talking about chicken lights you got me thinking about it

    I wonder if it's possible to cover every inch of the bumper Grille Hood fenders doors roof and back of cab and I would have so many lights I don't ever have to worry about painting my truck and I can make it look like the mirrors are being held on by lights and I'll have lights everywhere so that it looks like the mirror itself is just a light and I can make it look like my visor is not a visor it is just just complete lights and I can put lights all over my windshield wipers so that they're real nice and pretty when I wash my windshield and I could put lights actually on the windshield itself and I can put lights all underneath of my hood so that the light radiates out from inside and if I open it up it's like a box of gold and the light shines everywhere and I wonder if I can put lights all over my entire engine and all over my radiator and all over my hoses and belts so when I open the hood it just looks like there's no engine just one big giant light and I can put them all over my rears and make it look like there's no rear axle it's just light and I can put lights all over the front axle and all over the springs and put lights on the drag link and the tie rod and kingpins and all over the bottom of the engine and all inside of the whole frame from front to back go so it looks like there is no frame it's just light and all over the steering box so that you only can see light it'll look like I'm just driving a truck of light and I can put lights all over my backing plates so they reflect even more and I can put more lights all over the inside of my tires and between the dual tires so they reflect off of each other and I can make it look my air cans and my air lines and my slack adjusters are only made of light and I can fill my airbags completely with lights and when I deflate them they make some kind of a funky Flash and then when I inflate them they make some other kind of different kind of Flash and every inch of the front, side, and back of the trailer I can make something so the trailer looks like it's only about a quarter of an inch off the ground like a lowrider they can all be light and I can make a box around the whole truck and make it all look like it's a quarter inch off the ground like a super low rider and make it all complete light I put lights everywhere every inch of it and I can make a hole through the roof I put the shifter through there and put lights all on that so that it looks like I'm shifting light and I can put lights all over the interior of the cab and all over the dash and all over the door panels and all inside the sleeper and roof interior and all over the glove box and inside of the glove box and when I open it up I have more lights and the brake pedal and clutch pedal and accelerator pedal they should all be made out of Lights too and then I need to cut a hole through the floor and put my seat down low so you can't see my head but I'll put a hat on and that hat will be made out of lights and it will look like the light itself is driving the truck of light and the roof and every inch of the frame will have lights there and I wonder if there is a way that I could put lights inside of every inch of the wheels and maybe I could get stick on lights that will stick right on all the way around the tires themselves and I can have lights that are completely connected on each lug nut and each center of the axle so that it looks like one light but some parts of it are spinning and I can make rear fenders out of Lights and I can put lights all around the shocks and I can line the whole bottom of the truck around the back and everything completely with lights and I can go around the fifth wheel and then I can completely put lights all around the exhaust and it will look like you can actually see the exhaust going up because the lights will light up individually cascading upward and Flash differently and I could put lights all over every inch of my tanks and I never have to worry about painting them and I can put them all over my steps and underneath and all over my battery box and my cat walk and I put them all over my generator so it will look like a box of light and I can put lights right on my air lines and my electric lines so that it just looks like there's lights connected to the trailer then I wonder if I could put like lights completely all on the bottom of my truck like maybe I could make something run across the bottom of it and put lights on every inch of the bottom of the trailer and maybe I could put them all over the drive shaft as I go down the road they spin real nice and pretty and I can put lights all over the side and bottom of the transmission and on the top of it to and I'll take the shifter boot out so that light shines up into the truck and I wonder if I can find lights that all of them could change color like go from yellow to blue to green to Orange to purple and maybe I could make them spell out messages and Flash and I could show the American flag waving or a naked lady dancing or like when I shift gears or hit the jake brake they change colors and Flash and when I go over the speed limit they flash like a police car like I'm chasing myself and when I hit the flashers the whole truck from the front bumper to the trailer bumper will completely light up and flash like a UFO in the sky.

    That would be COOL.

    We all know you hate chicken lights. I like, I mean I LOVE 99.99% of your insightful posts. You are a wealth of information, and one of the better posters. But what you're doing here is beneath you. Leave the guy to his thread. You're better than this level one troll attempt, my friend.

    That’s got to be the world’s longest sentence.
