I'm not interested in opinions about whether or not to run power wires outside of the cab. I've already decided on that. I'm looking for pointers from people who prefer that route (holyfuck I hate puns....). I ran a 4g power in the frame of my 4x4, but that has a c-channel frame, whereas my Explorer has a fully boxed frame.
What I'm looking for is tips to get from the battery out of the engine compartment; do you remove fender liner and go above that?
What kind of fasteners have worked well? One-hole zipties and self-tappers? Stick-on cable tie mounts? Any others?
What works well for fusing when the wire disappears from sight and accessibility as quickly as possible?
What kind of loom or protection do you use? Or lube... had to get in front of that one... wow this is never-ending... ok stop!
I will obviously avoid heat, moving parts, and sharp edges.
Thanks in advance.
