    Probably in a weekend. Took me a week, I worked on it leisurely after work and one weekend.

    their harness is nice, I used one on my 6. If your familiar w/ wiring, and can pre-plan everything you need I'm sure it could be done in a weekend...but...if your like me, and are learning as you go.......took me bout a week:rofl:

    Depending on the number of circuts you have - the last one I did in a flatty took a long day (about 10hrs with lunch, dinner, and beer breaks).

    I agree a weekend, I would suggest not to push to hard, and wire & check each section at a time. I first wired the motor, and then checked if I could start it, then moved to my lights. Prior to re-wiring my head light switch worked, then ended up buying a new headlight switch.
    I also would suggest at first leave all wire's long until you know each section works, then tighten up the wiring.

    that depends...

    A) all old wiring removed and ready to start with the new wiring ?

    B) pull Jeep inside, remove all old wiring, and then start with new wiring ?

    C) your level of experience with wiring

    I would say one weekend is overly optimistic.....

    Took me about 2weekends but that was in between my wife getting mad for spending "too" much time on it and dealing with 3 kids during softball season. Maybe 2 full days!

    Sorry for the revive the thread but I have what looks like a 12v relay. Do I need to keep that or will the EZ wire come with it in the circuit?
