How to: Engine Wire Tuck
So I've been slacking for a while now, did this back in September and decided to finally post up some of the pics. A lot of other 'luders have done this but I've yet to see a write-up on it. Hopefully this will contain enough to be the final wire-tuck thread.
What parts you will need / body panels required to be removed based on what you are tucking:
Battery Relocation:
Materials -
10' of 2 gauge wire for power (if fuse box is relocated) 11' if fuse box is still in bay
4' of 2 OR 4 gauge wire for grounds
5' of 2 OR 4 gauge for starter and alternator extensions (if fuse box is relocated) 2' if your shock tower is tucked and fuse box is in bay
(x) amount of lug ring connectors/ butt splices, depends on how you hook up to your battery and if you use a distribution block
Shrink wrap / or rubber electrical tape
Regular electrical tape
What needs to be removed -
