Hey drew, maybe chuck up a pic of yours and we may have some suggestions

Attachment 42835...you can fit up to about 1 inch flex conduit under the lip at the top of the inner guard to hide all wiring and just break into it to insert any extra wiring later ...on both sides and the full length from the front to the fire wall...

Way too clean

Thanks mate, I thought of that this morning once I got to work! I should have included a couple of pics. I'll do that when I get home.

Heres mine clean. Nothing special. Most of the action is on the passenger side with the NADS, battery tray, compressor, air locker lines and catch can. Battery and radarc dcdc going in next week. Very clean.

This is the winch control box. It sits on a bracket made of mild strap steel, which bolts to original holes on the firewall and guard. The box is waterproof and is accessed by four easy screw locks and is way tougher than the original winch box. It would be a good way off fitting relays and other gear to weather proof it all. I have put plastic sheath on the cables since then, too.

Nice......Where did you find the box you're using for the relays?

I didnt i made it, its combined with the dual battery tray. I made both together i'll find pics tonight

Here is the control box for my W2A intercooler. It is a cast alluminium j box I bought from Farnell for $14, I just stuck a piano hinge on it, its water tight and comes in all sizes and very light
Its not in that position any more the airbox is there it fits nicely under the intake piping behind the head light

That is sexy wiring Ben-e!
Are they just regulation blue cable ties or did you use some Tefzel ones?

nothing wrong with keeping everything clean and tidy mate...makes it easier to clean the next time and see any problems..maybe I have more time than a lot of people !...and I personally have a fixation about engine bays..though I haven't been around mud in this thing yet admittedly..

Agree with keeping it tidy. Nothing worse than digging around an engine bay and fighting to get around wiring and the likes. Loose wiring has a habit of rubbing against fittings and the likes and shorting out. A good trick with the wiring conduit is making sure the gap faces down as it will act as a channel for water and you will end up with water inside the cabin. Went for a drive with a friend and he complained about dripping water on his feet...a quick twist of the shrouding of his spotlight and UHF loom and fixed it quick smart.

I dont even know what tefzel cable ties are. I just bought them from autobarn, they match the rest of the blue in the engine bay.
