    I am about to tackle the install of my EZ Wiring harness this weekend and would like to see some shots of your engine bay with wiring to get a good idea of routing the wires. I have a wiring diagram so that's not an issue just wanna see how you all routed em :stout:

    The coils of wire you see on mine next to the firewall on each grill support are stubbed out for offroad lights

    Thanks although I didn't even get to the wiring except for mounting the fuse box. Apparently cutting the steering column, fabbing up seat brackets, herculining, mounting battery tray, fenders, hood......the list goes on....takes more time than I anticipated mehh

    I am going to start with the wiring this week and the pics will be a big help

    Does the EZ wiring harness provide wire to the sending units, alternator starter, etc?

    I wired the 3B from scratch and in the engine compartment, the loom is basicly a big "C" with the open side on the right (passenger) side. All the light wires run along the left fender and then above the radiator. The aluminum box in the pic was my old relay box and that space is where the welder now resides with a new compact Bussmann 15300 series 5 relay box mounted under the brake master cylinder. The alternator leads cross over at the front of the engine. Most of the split loom is the high temp stuff from McMaster-Carr.
