    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    Oh man, that must have been a bad day, your hair being caught in those wheels. You must have a long hair for 11 years of not cutting it? Yeah I researched a lot on distribution blocks and fuse blocks and compared many different options. The ones that I really like are Blue Sea SafetyHub 150...

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    That's cool so you know the power of Tesa :+) I might end up zip tying to the factory hooks, they really seem to be quite sturdy and if I find a way to zip tie on the opposite side of the factory harness it should keep it clean. It is so difficult inspecting underneath the Jeep without a creeper...

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    Okay that's great, my concern zipping to the factory harness is still valid as the cable I am running is 1lbs per 2.5ft in weight. I like the idea of welding those studs to the frame, but based on the prep that it requires that also seems to be very very difficult to achieve given the limited...

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    @JimLee your information was very detailed and shifted my initial plans into running it the same way. I already sourced everything I need besides the heat reflecting tape, which apparently needs to be of high quality. I found a good UK based brand called Funk Motorsports which make very good...

    Wire routing from engine bay to cab on a manual transmission

    That's what I ended up doing, wire under the cowl side, through the windshield after I folded it down and up under the driver side grab handle to the overhead shelf. Works great!

    Wire routing from engine bay to cab on a manual transmission

    I wonder if that's available on the JL, I will check today.

    Wire routing from engine bay to cab on a manual transmission

    That sounds good, I will inspect that area, I have quick release inner fenders so it should be easy. Would it make any difference since I already have the AUX switches? I suppose that grommet is big enough?

    Wire routing from engine bay to cab on a manual transmission

    Hi Gents, Trying to figure a decent way to route cables inside the cab of my Jeep JLUR 3.6 manual transmission. I have seen people with automatic transmission most commonly use the manual clutch grommet on the driver's side but since I am manual this is already used. Is there any other...

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    I can imagine. I like thinks to be cleanly made, calculated well and with attention to detail so I hear you. Good to know that this fuse box is not a good match to that place. I will be mounting a Redarc Redvision system and I will just feed it either a AWG4 or AWG6 from the bus bar in the...

    I would assume the same way you can run two additional 4AWG cable through to the AAL remote bracket and have them nice and cleanly hidden?

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    That's exactly how I felt about it when I saw the tiny space there, I will be putting a Goose Gear platform on top down the road I hope those hoses and the braided line don't impede with the Goose Gear base :eek:

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    Exactly, I've seen so many installations done the wrong way, and people having to deal with all sorts of issues by not sizing their installations properly, and unfortunately I've heard stories of fires caused by improper installations as well. This being said I am not willing to sacrifice in...

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    That is great information @JimLee highly appreciated! 🥳 In the trunk I will also be running a battery charger that draws 50A in conjunction with the ARB Twin which is rated to 68.6A maximum load draw. So I did some calculations based on cable length and type and it looks like I have to run AWG...

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    @JimLee that is definitely very clean install. Just underneath the battery in the engine bay sounds great and makes your cable run shorter I would assume. I like the way you ran the cables into the storage caddy and those glands must be more than enough to protect from elements if you were to...

    Electrical wiring from battery to trunk

    Yeah that makes I will make a very clean install under the hood, what concerns me most is in the cab. Exactly, I almost feel like I have to dismantle everything so before I can understand where I can route those wires through. Another thing is a good location to place the Redarc Redvision...
