has any1 done a wire tuck before, just a simple one that doesnt involve moving the battery or fuse box

ive been thinking about doin it and researching on h-t but nothing really helpful enough

i think im just goin to move the wiring harness on the drivers side inside the fender and drilling bigger holes inside the fender to fit the plugs so i dont have to cut wires

thats all ive really thought of so far

post some pics up if you have any

na is best!

waste of time in my poinion.. yea but it is pretty straight foward and simple.. just time consuming and annoying at times.... basically you want to hide everything... just make sure to come up with some kind of marking system to remember where all the wires go to..i would say first remove both fenders and by the fire wall you wanna cut and then splice into extension wires and run under your fender to the front... also you wanna move your fuse box to either behind the dash or somewhere else you can find... and battery is optional... you can move to the trunk or get a buddy club half battery and it will look just as clean...any way good lunk but my 2 cents is dont bother

As much as I'd love to have a tucked car.

Eff it.

It's UNDER the hood for a reason...

i dont want to move the battery or fuse box it seems like it would be to much a pain in the ass

the next time i have nothing to do and its nice out im goin to start and just do a little at a time, one side then the other

I ran my side harnesses along the inside of my fenders, removed all AC components, and when I get time I'll be moving the fuse box to the glovebox.


Relocating the battery was rather easy. Picking up a dry cell battery saves you weight. I just ran 4 gauge wire from the battery to a distribution block on the firewall, and 8 gauge to the starter and fuse box. 100 amp inline fuse on the positive wire. Haven't had any problems so far.

I just got done doing all the wiring for the headlights and what not. I have still not done the engine harness.
