Well, I pulled an all nighter. 18 hours and 45 mins later, this is where I am.

I did the entire harness the ABS relay box is on, relocated the relay box to inside the cab, and did a tuck on the plug on the brake fluid reservoir (3 wires...lol).

Before (I really need to ditch the ghetto chrome trim that is now losing it's shine...):


Then you do your labeling, make a cut, and say, "Oh ____. What have I done? I have to have this done and running 100% perfect by noon tomorrow. ____." But it's too late, you're already knee deep in ____ now.


Labels are key. Everything on this worked first try after I extended the harness and reworked my side marker wiring. Just take your time.


Then you realize that you still want to be able to take your gutter off for your future engine swap plans...so you just decide to not be a _____ and cut that ____ up...then promptly seal it back with silicone =p.


Then you run the wire, relocate the fuse box, extend the wires from it and run them back to the engine bay. Almost there.




Found my finished pics:

End of extended harness:


Extensions soldered and wrapped:





Before anyone asks, yes my stereo wiring has been zip tied back up out of sight. I'll eventually tuck it in the same fashion as the harness though.

Now, to clean up my engine bay, wire in my custom puddle light system (now complete with custom control box), install my throttle body once it gets back from EZ, and finish polishing my wheels before exposed.
