Maybe it's just me... but I'd want to rewire it myself so I know its done to my standards. Paying someone else to rewire my baby would be like paying someone to sleep with my wife because I was too busy - never gonna happen.
That made me laugh! Life has gotten pretty busy lately and as much as I’d like to do it myself I don’t think I’ going to be able to have even a couple days of free time for the foreseeable future.

if people are paying 6K to do a rewire of a Bronco, let me know. I can usually have one installed, loomed and ready to go in less than a week. Wiring is honestly my favorite thing to do and making it super tidy is something I pride myself on.

Should be 1.5-2X the cost of the harness to install it. Its a 12-15+ hour job to do it right

Given it is a straightforward Bronco specific harness. A universal harness can be had for less money, but the labor goes up a lot to install it.
And anything not built into the harness will add labor.

Installed my painless myself with assistance from Bro in-law, if you are somewhat mechanically inclined it’s pretty straightforward.
