A while back someone mentioned the Painless Wiring kit for CJs,
unfortunately it has scrolled off this server.

Are the kits worth it? I'm about to start looking at my existing bits and
pieces of electrical harness. Having one complete kit with no patches or
crud is attactive, but the price, aye, there's the rub. For those that
have used them, were they worth the cost?

 

Put a Painless wiring harness on my 84 CJ. It went in without a hitch and
was done in a weekend. The dash being pre-cut and having all the connectors
on it made that part a breeze. I would recommend painless. Worth every
penny.

Not that this makes any difference but if it does to anyone, I meant that I
replaced the wiring on a friend's '73 CJ, not a '74 CJ. :)

I installed a Painless kit on my 76 CJ5 resto project and was absolutely
thrilled with the result. The two best things I added to that Jeep were the
DUI ignition and the Painless kit. Worth every dime and the tech assistance
was excellent.

A friend put it in a '58 Vette with electronic injection and column
ignition switch, he spent hours on the phone with a very helpful
Painless support person that faxed the different diagrams needed to
successfully complete the conversion.
