| * Pull 8mm nut from 70amp fuse that goes to 6awg wire that runs over to the foot well.

| - | * Crimp small end 6awg lug onto new wire and bend end over 90 degrees like wire end that you removed. | + | |

| + | * Crimp (#10) small end 6awg lug onto new wire after stripping it with big stripper. While holding wire with crimper bend end over 90 degrees like wire end that you removed. | ||
| + | | ||
| + | * Route wire down with a loop and back up through where the old wire was removed. | ||
| + | | ||
| + | * Pop battery cover back on and make sure 2 clips engage. | ||
| + | * Put battery floor cover back on after making sure it is vaccumed all around the area and twaist claps 90 degrees with a quarter to hold it in place. | ||
| + | * Vaccum out area below foot well and re-install it with the 7 #2 philips screws. Will need a long #2 screw driver or long extension for 1/4 drill | ||
| + | * Reinstall plastic trim panel below dash with 3 screws | ||
| + | * Re-install left side seat base cover with 3 T20 screws. Longer screw is forward upper. | ||
| + | * Re-install A-Pillar lower cover by popping in top clip and re-installing 5 philips screws | ||
| + | * Cut wire at C-pillar (see photo). Wire is live so wrap with electrical tap. Then wrap and put under driver seat | ||
| + | | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Stuff we've already tried=== | ||
| + | * We tried using crimps that already had a 90 degree bend and they cost way more and were a little harder to crimp. Using the straight ones and just bending them is only the smallest amount more effort for significantly less money. | ||

| + | ===Stuff to do=== | ||
| + | * Make sticker to go on old upfit harness wire - | ||
| + | * Length of 6awg wire | ||
| + | * Sticker for DC-DC wire | ||
