A half tuck is a good place to start, you re-run your wires for the lights, horn, fan, washer pumps, washer hoses. Move them to the small holes in your uper right and left side inside fender, right by where the fire-wall meets your inside fender well, dremel it out some and remove your fenders & bumper to run the wires around. goodluck...

Did you guys have to extend your wires, or run new/longer wires to reach everything?

h224thgensedan and pumpkin129 why won't you guys do some writeup? I think people would appreciate it. You know, necessary steps, precautions, and, of course, pictures ;-)

There is a few in FAQ's with dead pictures - if you could update it that would be awesome.

You know where I am going with this, right? I started the thread/poll to update our FAQ's and people are catching on,

we even have a blessing from a Toad himself to do it, so why not?

You really need to solder all wires. Please dont use wire butts. Why didnt you tuck the drivers side and the relays??
