I have an 81 CJ7. I want to redo all of the electrical switches etc that run
into the panel (light switch, radio etc) 1) Is there a kit that would give
me a complete harness 2) Is there one someone would recommend.



BTW.. The beast is running and the tranny and gears are in good shape...
Brakes this week, road certification and its ready for some real world
testing.

Yep, Painless makes a factory-replacement bumper-to-bumper wiring harness
for your Jeep. They ain't cheap, and I'm not sure why -- there must be a
whopping amount of hand-work in these or they're too used to megabuck
babyboomers building hotrods. Whitney, 4WD.com and Essentials for Jeep
all carry them. Google on _"Painless wiring" Jeep_ for other suppliers.

Hey Bill,
Do you know if anybody makes just portions of the harness? Ex. dash vs.
engine bay, etc.? Don't want to do the whole thing and costs too much for
one fell swoop.

Thanks Bill. I've considered fabricating my own circuits. Tell if this
is a really bonehead thing to do. What if I were to rewire the individual
harness portions as independent circuits? My father was an electronics
technician for 23 years and followed on with some simple engineering with
the phone company and finally quality assurance inspections for DoD
communications contracts. So, he was teaching me Ohm's law before the cub
scouts. I'm not an engineer, but... would it be a dumb idea to basically
rewire the different systems instead of all the splices and crossovers,
straying from the original schematic?
My initial thought would be, "bonehead". But, it would be simpler. What
do you think?
