    I would have to suggest both, to get the most info you can along with adding what you can find on the internet. Although when I purchased a Chilton manual for my CJ, It included a free offer for a wiring diagram just for it.

    I think Haynes is Chilton's little brother . However Chilton's are pricey big time might as well buy the jeep shop manuals.

    Damn I didn't know they made shop manuals. The ones at O'Reilly's must be like sample ones or something like they might be missing some information... I don't know it is the first manual I've ever bought lol
