Well, since my fender was off and out of the way, I decided to tuck the harness. The harness itself had been starting to rub on my tires even after that pinch weld had dug in even further. First off we just ground down the pinch weld, but after I got into my bender fender, we just decided to tuck the harness.

Here's some pics. I'll take some more after I get the fender on.

As you can see, we notched that pinch weld and bent it back to make room for the harness. Much easier and cleaner than trying to just go around it.









And since the harness tucks so well, we left the hood latch cable in its original position. The way some others do it, the cable follows the same route as the harness, making it harder for it to work.



WC AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON ME!!!

But yeah, not a huge deal, just wanted to share. Well worth it, rubbing through wiring is bad.

I don't have a sohc.

It's a VR38, I just threw the sohc valve cover on there so I could pass emissions.

I've got somethin on you,



Most of the rubbing goes on in the back unless you have decent suspension travel

So then this was made



Either way glad to see you tucked, I hope you pounded the tire killer seams flat.

same as the side pictured minus the washer fluid hose. both are like 1/4 of the wires that normally run there.

i did this for cleanliness and future lowness possibly. meticulous wire work =

so if you "rode through it" do you now have chewed up wires living in the fenders
