as per title. when fitting things like spotties, relays, dual bats etc how do you keep your wiring looking neat and tidy? am sick of having random looking crap everywhere, it looks like an old shitheap when you pop the bonnet
mount all relays and fuses in the one location use fuse blocks if requied i found if you run say 7 core trailer wire from one central location to the front and rear of the car it looks better even if you are only usuing one wire there are more there for later
Hi 4130, try covering all your wire looms with split tube, split tube give you the ability to go back and add additional cable to the loom, or just tape everything.
All of the above, and run your new cables along existing cable routes... or just route your cables carefully in such a way that they are grouped together, even if it means using a bit more cable length. Nothing looks quite as home made as stray wires here and there taking the shortest path instead of being routed neatly out of the way.

fawk it's sad when people have nothing to do but shit-stir. can someone say tall poppy syndrome? no worries, you go back to working on POS landies all day getting grease under your nails and I'll continue to do the ultimate 4WD job...
