Wire tuck
- Thread starter vinnybones
- Start date
like a minor tuck or major tuck?
ummm minor tuck to get it lookin less clutterd n more organized
umm.. you can take out cruise control, windshield fluid resevoir and lines, tuck wires by brake and clutch resevoirs underneath. Or you can just take off the fender, drill a hole, disconnect the wires, and run them along the inside of the fender. i'll take a pic of my engine bay tomorrow if you want. i did some this stuff.
yaa if u take a pic that would prolly help so i can see wut its suppose to look when its done correctly...how much time u think it will take around?
not long man. I didnt take out my fender and drill though. I didnt think it was worth it for like 3-4 wires
a minor wire tuck isn't really that hard to do all you do is just start out by taking off one bracket then you notice you can take off another one so on and so forth. It' spretty easy. An you don't have to take anything out depending on how cluddered your engine bay is. Mine took a about a 8 hours in a freezing garage and about 35 wire ties.vinnybones said:

And I still have plenty more to do/work on.
Wiring tucking is easy. Just make sure if you unclip any harnesses or whatever, just clip them back in. You can unclip anything you want, as long as it's plugged back in at the end so it's almost impossible to screw something up unless you tear a wire or leave something hanging

.took it out obviousdly
The most noticeable things I did was re-route the washer fluid lines through the fender (went to Home Depot and purchased new hoses) and removed cruise control. I have yet to remove the wiring inside though.
And the rest was just hours on end using my socket wrench and moving things around. Total, I've spent about 7 hours tucking/hiding wires.

the may issue of import tuner shows how to do a wire tuck step by step w/out cutting anything. looks pretty easy and it looked good.

i was lookin for that. that's pretty much the stuff I did.
DIY links anyone?
There isn't really a "How-To" on wiring tucking. All you have to do is go into your engine bay with a few sockets, a socket wrench, possibly a screwdriver and some WD-40 and start re-routing stuff and tucking/hiding stuff.
It's simple. It looks harder than it seems but it's incredibly easy. It just takes time.
