you only need electrical tape and some tinners snips and maybe some of that wire that comes in rolls from auto zone..... you know the black stuff...

just start cutting your wires and extend them a little bit.... then twist the wires real tight so they dont come loose and tape em up....

Make sure you do it right you don't want any problems. Solder the wires together don't twist them real tight and tape it lol. Put heat shrink after you solder every wire together.

If you're looking to do I MILD tuck I believe you don't need any tape, wire, or solder. Simply route both body harness' from the shock tower under the frame rail towards the head lamps. Im pretty sure you only need adell clamps and screws and you're set. You could also route both harness' through the opposite hole where the brake line runs through. Up to you.

buy a notebook and record everything you do as you do it, so when you come in here asking for help we can go straight to the problem :goodjob:

if you are just trying to tuck the passenger and driver side harness for the lights and what not.

just unplug everything and trace it back to where it enters the firewall.

pull it all through and run the wires through the door harness hole

secure the wires to the frame rail and plug everything back up
