Hi Gang, I was running on about the no start on my Jeep but this may call for another thread.
I have all of my ground wiring running right next to the dual battery tray along with control wiring for the dual Radiator cooling fans and other. I once suspended all this wiring with zip ties to the firewall to grille support rod but it really looked funky. Now that I have 'Black Betty' running again I'd like to retain this wiring in a more professional fashion. My latest idea is to bend up some wire coat hangers and secure it to either the inner fender well of that same support rod.
I'm asking if anyone has a better idea than I to accomplish this. Thank and a lift of the lynch lid for your responses.
 
This is on the passenger side ?
 
Yes it is Belizean
 
You could do something like this. This is pretty much still factory on the drivers side. Small loom. IMG_4568.webp IMG_4567.webp
 
Yes, however I'm afraid I'd have to extend the length of so many wires.
 
Maybe a picture of yours to see the wiring and what wiring needs moved.
 
Yep! Another hour on the job and I'll be heading home and get my photo archive from my desktop
 
Here's what my wiring looks like right now;

and my latest idea is to use rubber insulated wiring clamps;

these would help keep the looms higher on the fender and be impervious to vibration, unless I can think of something better.
 
Well, today I reincorporated all the loose wiring into that largest piece of Convoluted Tubing. This'll hold up until I find some more and it pulled the loose stuff away from the header.

Now that "Black Betty" is road/off-road ready, I can return to reinstalling my Amateur radio antenna and mast that has been languishing since I've been working on my Jeep
