Yes, I purchased the american auto wire kit and replaced the entire harness. It was my first time rewiring an entire truck, and I must say it was very easy. Everything worked on the first try which astonished myself. As far as time? Couldn't really say, I know I could do it quicker a second time around. I really just took my time so I didn't have to redo anything. Just study the directions before starting and compare them to all the connectors, etc. It was actualy enjoyable and learned alot during the process. I would say it could easily be done over a long weekend. The kit came with everything needed. I think the only thing I had to purchase was the main ground strap and positive lead from the battery and a cigarette lighter, glove box light and dome light, which just because of cosmetic reasons. I do recommend purchasing new light sockets for frt turn signals, back up lights and brake lights. Just to make sure every thing is fresh. Mine were pretty nasty. The kit comes with the side marker sockets. The american auto wire kit, comes with plenty of options too. Third brake light, electric fan, different style columns, aftermarket gauges, etc. I stayed mainly stock, so I didn'y need them, but nice to know I have options down the road that are there if needed. It also had plenty of wiring and extra terminals. Anyway, I hope this helped. I know I am rambling.
I see your from Smyrna. I visit the Nissan plant frequently as we (Akebono) supply them with brake calipers. Nice area. I am about 2.5 hours north of you.
