Re: Br3w City's Project omgwtfbbq

As part of all this lightening and cleaning, we decided to finally tackle some of the crusty wiring leftover from the very first iteration of the truck. Keep in mind that this truck started as an I6, then a v8 w/HEI, and now the Lq4...so there have been a few different sets of wiring installed over the years.

The PO had done some WACKY stuff inside of shrink tubing and sleeving, lots of wires that changed colors halfway through, lots of poorly soldered wires and weird merges. When we went to LS, we redid the entire body from the firewall back, and changed anything that intersected with the motor...but that left things like the headlights, horn, some reused wiring for the starter and alternator, and all sorts of wires doing who knows what.

Started off with new H4 headlight plugs, and made our own twisted pairs for the power. We don't include the grounds in the wiring runs, instead choosing to ground them locally on the grill. We did do the factory-style daisy chain for the passenger side bulb keeping the wires to a minimum.





The horn relay combo and all sorts of misc garbage attached to it.


And all the crap that came out!
