Been wanting to re-wire my car for a long time now and finally got around to it. After working on it
off and on for the past two weeks it's all done front to back. Every circuit has its own fuse. For safety, there are
two high-amp main fuses, one feeding the front fuse block and the other feeding the engine fuse block and starter.

Sano.........
Wiring is a TON of work when done right but so worth it in the long run. No more electrical gremlins with a job done like that. Nice work.

I think there are a few zip ties that are not evenly spaced- better go and re do them!

Thanks for the compliments my friend. Ya I've got alot of hours invested, especially since I made all new
mounting plates, gage brackets, rear fuse holder bracket, etc. Not to mention all the running around getting parts.
Overall it was a super fun project. I love to wire!

I'm planning on going out that same weekend. Maybe we'll finally get to dune with you this time.

Here are a couple of photos from underneath the engine cover. The engine harness was well layed out and pretty clean to begin with. I added dual fuel pump relays, ran 10G wires to the fuel pump, replaced a couple of metri-pack connectors and added a 4Gage wire to the alternator.

That would actually be a good thing. My business has been very slow lately and I could always use the extra money to get out to the dunes.
Diesel fuel and race gas aren't cheap these days.

Thanks to everyone that has replied and for the compliments.

Nice job , Roger is the man when it comes to wiring. He has done more than a couple of jobs for me. I had him trick out the wiring on my Rhino, dual batteries , hids, interior lights, backup lights , battery selector you name it he did it. Also this summer he rewired the back half of my Sand Cars Unlimited. Super clean work!!!
