I have a spool of 18awg, 16awg, and 12awg from Fleet Farm that I'm using for wires I need to extend. I also bought some screw clamp type splices that are good up to 2awg in case I need to extend any of the large power / ground wires. So far that has been all I've needed.
I also bought a bunch of loom from this place. I got a bunch of 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", and 1" since it's so cheap. Using it as needed.

Here's where I'm at so far on the passenger side:

Well I'm all for sharing. I don't think i'm going to spend the time to do a detailed write-up, but I will share as many pics as possible to hopefully help the next guy, or even get feedback from others who have done this on how I might have done it better. This is my first time ever doing any sort of wire tucking.

Will be doing mines in the winter. I would like to see more pics so i can get a general idea of where i might want to run the wires. My car rubs on the wheel wells on big bumps so i might have to raise it up a bit to be able to run the wires inside the wheel well.

Some more pics. I think I'm done with the passenger and driver side wires. One thing I may not have mentioned is I've removed my ABS, so the ABS fuse box and associated wiring is removed from the driver side. So the wire you see that I ran in that wheel well is just the brake reservoir sensor.

Passenger Side:
here you can see I extended the alternator cable about 8" or so and snaked it (and clamped it) around the bottom side there

the next few pics you can see I just used black zip ties to secure the loom. I also had to extend that wire that runs back into the engine bay near the firewall, must be for A/C or something.



How it looks in the engine bay now.


Driver Side:

Had to extend the brake reservoir wire (forgot how much) Probably could have extended it a little more, but I think it's probably fine.
