Cowl drain
I routed the drain hose for my cowl grille down the firewall and out of the floor board. When I was doing the body work and patching holes, I ended up leaving this hole in the floorboard because it was a special hole. I wish that I knew the story behind the hole but I do know that the hole was put there by a 45 caliber bullet! That is why I left the hole and it worked perfect for routing the hose to the bottom of the Jeep.

New wiring harness
I finally was able to sort out my wiring harness by re-assigning wires, re-routing wires, and getting the fuse box mounted. Now it's time to pull all those wires from the headlights to the tail lights.
Wires layed out
All of the wires from the fuse box are pulled to the areas that they need to go. There are some ground wires that are needed to be added then the wires can be put into wire coverings.

Soldering ground wires
I soldered in ground wires where they are needed to complete circuits like headlights, blinkers, washer pump, and running lights.

Soldered joints
I will solder all joints where possible especially on wires exposed to the elements but a crimp connector might be used on occasion.

Joint protected with shrink tube
The shrink tubing that I'm using has a sealer in it that melts when the tube is heated. It shrinks up nice and tight and the sealant will be great protection.

I use a thermal fire resistant housing to run the wire harness under the Jeep.
