Just take off the front fender, yank on the harness until its up over the little metal lip on the frame and ziptie it down.

ok I got the part numbers of all the pieces from tein,,,, apparently they know there was a issue with the old style.. now they use the new green ones with the rubber spring center

I remember MATEJ saying he managed to relocate his harness into his bay without cutting a single wire.

yep, it's possible. i started then got lazy and went back to the old location

remove smj and grommet and shit. pull through driver side wheel well, and pull through. route over strut tower or other location (may require cutting if another location) and finesse it through the triangle cut out in the side of the firewall then back through the same hole it came through.

Or relocate everything in a way more efficient then stock without needing cutting

plus, soldering 40+ wires ISN'T HARD. It is just tedious, get over it.

Mark wires with tape and numbers, start with 5 at a time or so. Add 1 foot of wire or w.e u need(buy another loom from part out and use wires or new wire) and continue in increments of 5

What 1on1 and I did was jus pulled it and then pushed up as high as we could on the fender and then ziptied it there. I do not rub at all.
