Update in progress:
Today I decided to start tucking the headlight, turn signals, horn and cooling fan harness.

I don't have good pictures, or very many because I was in a rush trying to get as much done as possible before work tonight.
Everything is unloomed

Getting there. This is pretty much where I am. I need to pick up some wire to extend everything a little bit then reloom it all. That I will have to do either tomorrow or Sunday when time allows it. I'm off to work right now.

I pick up directly where I left off. I got to work with my soldering iron. After extending all the accessory wires, minus the turn signals, I plugged everything in and tested to make sure they worked. I was a little nervous, but thankfully everything worked perfectly!

Then I started to sort out everything and loom them.

I was very careful to make sure that I did not break the clips that held the harness in the bay so that I could reuse them. This is how the harness will be mounted until my next big update

Everything is secured in place

This is how the bay looks with lots of dirt from the old looming and stray bolts in it. Tomorrow I will re-installing everything that is left. Overall I am very pleased with the outcome. Not bad for my first wire tuck

Yeah, looking back through the thread I've done quite a bit in the less than 2 months I've had her. Every free minute I have I'm out working on her

Thanks guys!

I got everything re-installed today, I worked on getting the bumper fitment a bit better and now it's almost perfect.
Here is a view of the back of the headlight.

Also one very exciting thing is I finally broke the 100 lb mark of weight removed. I am now at 103.96 lbs removed! Details are in the mod list post on the first page.

16 Guage. It's the same size as most of the wires.
