Relocated fuse box

I got bored today and decided to relocate my fusebox to clean up engine bay a little bit. Ive had it ziptied in place for a longtime cause of my IC piping is in the way. only took about an hour to do.

ya i had some trailer wire in my tool box so i used that and black wire to try and match the coloring up as close as possible and soldered and heat shrunk it. came out pretty good.


Also I did not come up with the idea of the location. I stole the idea from another thread or website (cant remember which). Didnt want anyone to think I was taking credit for their idea.

If you can't take credit for the idea, could you at least explain the reasoning behind it?

cause i couldnt find a good location to mount the fuse box in the bay itself cause of the IC piping runs where the fusebox was located originally. so I had it zip tied to a bolt temporarily. it was very ugly and looked like a birds nest of wiring. So I decided to extend the wiring and mount it where it currently is. I think it looks clean. frees up space under the hood. and is not at risk of water and dirt.
