Hey guys,

I have searched and searched and I cannot find any vert specific wheel well wire tucks, since we have the extra ASC bracing they standard S13 pics are kinda worthless:

I have attempted it and taken some pictures, but I am still getting some rubbing. I was curious what others have done and would like to make a reference for future vert owners. I cut the factory housing off the wires and covered it in split 1" rubber hose and used zip ties. :facepalm:

Here's mine first attempt with notes:

I plan on getting some hose brackets like below and securing them to the inside of the brace and then up and out side the wheel well.... I dunno... post your solutions!

Those monster truck tires aren't helping your condition too much. :)

When I did my vert, I removed the harness and completely re-routed it. IIRC, I ran it through the inner structure under the top of the fender.

If its worth doing, it's worth doing right. :)

It's not terrible. Involves unpinning a few connectors, pulling the wire back to the firewall, and re-routing it.

Probably best to just raise ride height (or run smaller tires) if you don't want to do a full tuck. :dblthumb:
