We get many questions here at the shop regarding our exclusive wiring harnesses. All this wiring can be confusing to some restorers. Hopefully we will be able to help to reduce some of your confusion with these series of posts.
Here are some common wiring harness questions we get asked:
1. Q: What sorts of harnesses do you carry?
A: We carry harnesses for all the MBs, GPWs, CJ2As, CJ3As, CJ3B,s CJ5s, CJ6s, DJ3As, Willys Jeepsters, Wagons, Wagons and Forward Control Wagons.
2. Q: Can I custom order a wiring harness?
A: We do some customizing if you call before you order the harness. We can add writes or lengthen wires here and there as needed to accommodate customizations or other accessories you will have added. It's hard to do plenty of custom work on a harness when we do not have access to the Jeep in order to measure. Hence if you need extra wire to perform some modifications yourself, we can smilingly provide it!
3. Q: 12V/6 V?
A: Many folks ask us this question. 1956 and earlier Jeep are 6 volt, and they work just fine as long as stuff like the starter are in fine condition, you have heavy battery cables, the ground strap is in place and the ETC is in good condition. We like to keep our old Jeeps 6-volts and they all work just fine "there really is no reason to modify them. If everything is in good working order, your lights are pretty much as bright and they start just as easily as on 12 volt Jeeps. If you are keeping it all original, there aren't actually many reasons to change it. We suggest you stick with what ya got!
4. Q: Do I need turn signals?
A: Turn signals make it a little safer and easier for regular driving. But in most cases they don't seem to be imperative. You must contact your state Office. Of Motor Cars to see what the laws are in your state per turn signals. Most states need turn signals if you're putting a regular license plate on it. But most don't need it if you're putting on antique plates. Since the majority of you will be driving your Jeep on the road frequently "you need to think about adding turn signals.
5. Q: What does Walck's do differently with harnesses?
A: Walck's wiring harnesses are made in the States out of top quality materials that surpass the first factory specs and electrical requirements. All our ends are soldered and pre-determined so you just need to do a minimum amount of work yourself to install it.
We detest to brag, but our harnesses are so renowned for their quality that a number of other retailers also carry them!
