I know Chris can often be like myself, if it's worth doing it's worth doing right. This taillight wiring is a perfect example of it. Always a good idea to have some metri-pack or Deustch connectors on hand when you run into someone else's mess. Oem quality, 100% weather/moisture resistance, and easily disconnected just like an oem connector. Plus they are actually quite easy to make! I crimp the solid terminals with a 4 sided 8 indent crimper and it holds stronger than the wire itself is, and doesn't leave a really rigid section of wire like soldering does. Love these build videos guys! Chris is my kind of fabrat!

Not many people even bother to use a soldering iron these days, and of those that even bother to, most don't even know about using liquid or paste flux like Chris did. It makes the solder flow much quicker and makes far better and faster connections, which reduces overheating things. You can get it at a hobby shop. Just be sure to ONLY use Rosin Flux with Rosin Core solder. The Rock Krawler lift on our JK has been just as Chris described...maintenance and trouble free.

Chris, here is a SAE/Metric size hack for you. I came up with it as I was going through A&P school. There had to be an easy way to convert SAE and Metric to each other's sizes. I found it, the number "5". To find the equivalent SAE size of a metric size subtract "5" and this is the SAE size in 1/16"'s. Example: 10 MM minus 5 leaves 5/16 SAE. 13 MM minus 5 leaves 8/16' or 1/2". Go the other way. 7/16" plus 5 equals 12 MM. 9/16" plus 5 equals 14MM. It works up and down the scale for quite a way.

And in the middle of June still haven't received the rear set. With two weeks until we left for a three week wheeling trip had to put a set of Fox remote resivors, now we have miss matched equipment on the jeep. I guess I have Brandon to thank for all the supply issues, it has been a nightmare trying to set my wife's jeep up.
