    wire tuck=no cutting???

    is there a way we can wire tuck our cars without cutting the wires?

    impossible because tucking is cutting, extending and hiding the wires so i dont see how that can be done

      the way i did my wire tuck doesnt ivolve cutting the main harness at all i just went to the junk yard and cut the male and female ends off the engine harrness and cutt and extended that and that was plug and play

      im about to put a DIY up on how to do this soon im just really lazy

        so the way you did it didnt include any cutting?

        but then you cut and extended the wires?

              There is no way to do a clean wire tuck without cutting, lengthening and soldering/crimping wires.

              If you don't want to do any cutting you could send you stuff to ChaseBaysOnline.

              F series motors, starting at;
              - $499 w/ a core engine harness
              - $615 w/ no core.

                    Re-route the wires however you see fit. You'll need to deloom and untwist them. Whichever won't reach after that you need to extend. It's easy. Solder, electrical tape, and heat shrink and you're good. I haven't finished mine yet or even really got really into it but you'll have to extend some wires. Have you ever messed with car stereo or anyting elctrical much?

                      It is a wee bit more complex than a car stereo, but I guess that is a start.

                      Yeah but the OP said no cutting...lol





                      I haven't even got to the cut + mil-spec + lengthen part yet. I just finished tearing the loom apart and labeling everything.

                        Im working on mine but im a cutter. I have skills to to do the wiring and welding skills to shave the bay so im not scared of doing it at all. Good idea about going to the junk yard though, U just bought a harness from a friend for $40 so I have all the plugs and wires needed at hand.

                        How hard do you have to squeeze a baby to make baby oil?

                            what that one member meant was not cutting into the actual harness and just making pig tail extensions out of other connectors. the only thing i see with that is possible resistance buildup through multiple connectors. see how much dirt gets in the fenderwell?

                              When I did mine I didn't cut any wire or add extention pigtails, since I have hids I didn't need to extend the headlight wires
