Time to buy a wiring harness

I need to buy a wiring harness now for the 3b. I would make my own as its pretty simple to wire these things but im at school full time and the time isnt worth the money. Im probably going to go with Painless as ive heard good things on here.

The Painless site has a 12 circut for cj2/cj5 1974 and earier. It looks like the same kit as Krage MotorSports offers for $410.00. Does anyone know what the Painless site charges?

 

You'd be better off buying and ezwire for way less than 1/2 that and the kit is just as good if not better.

There have been dozens of guys on here that have installed them on there jeeps. I bought my kit about 8 years ago or so.

 

I bought and installed the Painless on mine about 5 years ago
no worries, no problems

 

I know willys overland sells the original style wiring harness's with braiding over the wires and such. If I remember correctly, they were around 300.00$

 

Go to vintage wirring of maine and you can get an OE style the one I put into my m38 was perfect.

 

I bought my wiring harness from Walcks it came out great. the painless wiring harness is just like wiring it up all yourself they just include a fuse panel

 

I bought mine from Carl Walck and could not be happier. It has new wire with old style covering over it, it went in perfectly and I have had not a single problem with it for the last 8 years. He will even include a turn signal circuit for you if you want.

 

Nice, thanks I ordered the ez wire last night. I cant wait ti get it in there and fully functioning again.

 

Any update here....I have a 73 highly modified, but bare no radio, heater, doors etc, just the basics. The wiring is a complete mess and I need to address it and am looking at the Painless and EZ solutions.....how was your experience with EZ?

 

I bought a EZ2Wire Wiring kit that is for a Street rod for my 3B project,, ,,, its 18 circuits ...Its like 20 foot from front to back .. It came with the plugs I needed to hook-up to the S10 steering column (blinkers, wipers , keyed switch & horn),, Heater circuit & AC R) & all the lights) Figure Ill use the AC circuit for something ,, & the wires are marked every 5 or 6 inchs what the circuit is for,, I bought it off E-Bay from them at under 200 bucks,,,I called them told them what I planed on doing & asked if they had anything good for what I had ,,, They E-mailed me back the part number & I went to E-Bay & found it ,,,I havent installed it yet but it looks idiot proof & thats what I need,, With everything Im doing to this Jeep I dont need anything to add to the confussion..

The wife calls it my :dead horse:

Im installing a painless kit in my cj3a right now. ITs very straight forward. I bought mine used from a friends mudtruck. Just take your time in planning the job and it will go smoothly. Painless has a forum and a tech phone/email if you need help. Good luck and have fun.

 

Well I have had the ez-wire installed for a couple months now and I like it. It came with a few plugs for a gm harness that i had to cut out but other than that it was pretty simple. I admit i asked a friend what wires to cut but did all the wiring myself. I have drawn a nice wiring diagram for the jeep, eventually ill post it on here for others to use.

I really like the fact that each wire is labled every 5 inches and color coded also. It looks real clean. I bought some 710 series saturated fiberglass sleeving to finish the job off.

This was the first harness ive ever bought so i have nothing else to go on but i would recomend this harness.
