this really makes you appreciate what chads fab does with electrical😊

Keep hustling Mike, you will win that wiring battle

Mike: Wish I was there. This kind of project is right up my alley. You're doing good things. I'd love to see the finished look when you are done. Shawn: I love when you are panning the shelves at RMB 4x4, showing us all the good stuff on the shel... Hey! That's a TrailMater sticker!!!

Hi Mike connecting 1 out of many is a start. Time to get that mess cleaned up. It will save you a lot of headaches in the future. Great start. Keep it up.

Hey Dirtbilly Deluxe! I'm glad there still is some of the death wiring left in the Death Star! I love looking at it and marveling that it actually works! Always stay at a state of maximum Dirtbilly! Ride ride ride!

WIRES WIRES WIRES!!!

A little more time and some wire loom and you'll be set. Wiring takes more time than people think, but the end result is worth it.

Wow, Mike, that looks like a bundle of Headache! But you doin the right thing, addressing the mess. It will make your life much stressful. Kudos to you for doing it. Chad Fabs is the Magic Wire man.🤙😎

Mike, Harbor Freight carries Vanguard brand wire sleeve tubing, used to wrap around bundles of wires and also withstands heat up to 302 degrees. I still have a few rolls of the old fashioned type that is a firm plastic. Looks like corrugated plastic tubing with a slit. This new wire wrap at HF looks like a braided plastic with a slit. Just wrap your electrical tape at various intervals to hold together. 1/2 inch by 25 feet is 10 bucks. Neat and tidy.

Its going to be so worth it. Great job Mike

Well gee. 4-5 hours work and you made it all so Tidy and simple ;) Can't wait to see you and Justin tackle his truck.That should take just a couple hours,max.

HALLELUJAH! More better wiring! Wish I was there to help!

Mike, you are the epitome of form follows function.

😂 “it’s how it went so that’s how it’s going” 😂

Good to know about drivelines at LS junction. Your winning Mike.

Thanks for sharing the Mayor's place, didn't know he had 4x4 shop. Good job cleaning up wiring Mike. That should prevent more headaches in the future.

Mike, I ran into you last Saturday above the 'put out' on the daily. Looked like you were having a great time 👍. I feel your pain with the wiring. Best thing about doing it yourself is that when it goes wrong you will know where to start. Shawn, thanks for showing us the local 4x4 place. It sucks that Moab City makes it so hard to run that kind of business closer to town.

It’s a veritable labyrinth of wires Mike,, your a better man than I 🇦🇺🇺🇸

hang in there mike , wiring is tidies but is worth your effort

Proper preparation prevents poor performance. Great video y'all

Looking good Mike, it will be nice when done. 😊😊😊😊😊

Great job Mike👍 I think 2 little gussets behind your plate would of worked, lot cleaner and stout.

How marine of you! This electrical setup reminds me of every boat DC setup I have ever seen. Cheers!

Best of Luck mike with your rewiring project. I know I would not standa a chance of figuring out where all those wires need to go and what they are for.

Thumbs up great video,all that electric stuff was built as you needed, projects build as you go up to now

I wanna see more of that blue Jeep YJ! The more YJ builds the better imo.

I'm sure you'll conquer that spaghetti monster! You've picked up the right parts it would seem, good luck! & nice tour of the local businesses too! Thanx !

Hey Mike and Shawn! Glad you are getting started on that wiring process mike. Hopefully you can route them all together and cover with wire looms. But that switch block will definitely help clean things up and easier for troubleshooting.

Nice job Mike, I don't think Chads fab is going anywhere soon. 😂😂😂

Hi!! Thank you for being my 100th subscriber!! I totally geeked out when I saw that. You guys were part of the inspiration to start my channel! One day I will make the trip from New York to Utah and shake your hand. Don't forget #chickensforcherokees!!

lol good luck Mike

Those battery connections remind of The Christmas story light outlet :)

👍

When i do wires i end up looking and feeling just like you did in ur outro....❤️🇺🇲

Wireing is such a a joy

Zip tie all the hots together. Zip tie all the nots together. You wont loose any or confuse any.

Mike, I hope you get things cleared up so you don't have a melt down!

Holy shit, that wiring would scare the shit out of me. I’d rip it all out and start over from scratch. And I hate doing wiring, but when I do do it, it must look perfect.

You made a lot of progress! Coming along great😀

Shawn & Mike, I’m sure there are multiple ways to build an off road machine. Based on your experience and Rory’s, what would be a knock out build for Moab. Between the 3 of you, ya’ll have jeeps, buggies and some semblance of a truck. What would you build? Explain all the options and what works best for you. A live blog would be great. Appears a lot of people come to Moab with equipment not ready for the program. From the trail repairs, certain vehicles always fail in the same place. I know this is a somewhat complicated and controversial request due to all the various opinions. You guys live this and enjoy it, I would be very interested in your opinions.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR WIRING

… I don’t believe anyone who saw the original cluster(bleep) is gonna care that the new is slightly outa parallel. Am really glad you’re addressing what is essentially the weakest part of build. It’s taken a long time to get to the fairly amazing spaghetti mess, it’s probably gonna take 3 or 4 attempts to streamline/organize everything…. Just stay after it and it’ll be great

Keep at it Mike, be worth it, keep the vids coming , Jon UK

Mike, I would change the switch box to running directly off the battery. That way there are less joins in the system, or have it running on the same post as the input.

0:58 Grab one of those for Mike.

Nice job it’s coming along nicely. Really appreciate your videos.

Wiring can sure be a pain,planning on a dual battery set up with inverter for my truck this summer. Good luck,always enjoy the videos

That wiring looks exactly like Chevy intended it to be.

When I'm wiring vehicles, I use a lot of 7 and 13 core trailer wire. It's super tough to run places as a loom (how many times have you forgotten to unhook the light bar on a trailer and dragged it across the yard by the cable?). So you can find 7 or 13 wires that go from point A to point B, run a bit of trailer wire alongside them and swap the connections over one at a time. If you strip the insulation off, it's a good way to get a load of different colour wires for cheap.

Nice job Mike ,in the end it will look a lot better it already does but I know your not finished. Thanks for the video bro can't wait for the next one.

That wireing job had you literally looking like you were pulling your hair out😂😂😅

Proper wiring takes time Mike. With all the welding that occurs in that shop per month, I figured you guys would have 2 or 3 extra spools of wire.

A thumbs up for the algorithms 👍

This is an awesome episode. Thank you. 🧀

what a challenge

Good job.

Im not good at this: well I disagree Mike - you ARE good at this :)

Part of the wiring mess is because they are not encapsulated in a fancy wire loom like engine harness so they naturally look messy. Wire looms change look and feel of the mess and make things tidy. In addition to all that I just hope you get your electrical gremlins figured out because doing all those trail fixes indefinitely is probably not what you would rather be doing.

When I lived in Moab and was working in the Lisbon Valley gas plant, it was Unocal back then. I had a rig welder who lived in LA Sal Junction his name was Ivor Johnson. Great dude, I am sure he is long gone now.

yumpin yeezus, Mike! Glad you got after that rat's nest. Will be much more robust now.

I put a new wiring harness from Painless in my first gen Bronco and I can tell you wiring is tedious but worth it at the end. What you are doing is a segment of the Bronco but I feel your pain

I would be looking for some sort of plastic or nylon cover for the live bus bar. That way nothing will easily create a massive short circuit. Also since you now have a neater live cable I'd wire a cut off switch/master circuit breaker on it to help prevent any major electrical breakdowns. You could also incorporate a neat Anderson connector in there as well.

Cool stuff guys!

Here's a crazy story about wiring: I wired in a dash camera in my 2003 4Runner. I used an "Add-A-Fuse" in the fuse box in the dash for the power. I searched for a ground nearby the fuse box and there was so much plastic, I could not find an easy ground source. I had to run a wire back through the firewall into the engine compartment to a fender bolt.

Man I don't envy you Mike , wiring is my nightmare , good luck 🤞.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

4:26 yaaaaaaa but to be honest I hate wiring. Mine looks just like that.

great as always great content very entertaining

Good start to organizing that spaghetti...

Hi Mike I just want to tell you I think you are the cutest out of the whole bunch you are definitely my favorite❤ keep up the good work I love seeing your cute face and stop hurting yourself LOL

Mike Mike Mike, you know what today is...😅 You would make ex Chris from light bright natural eat his fingers.😂

I looked at that wiring.....I'll send you some aspirin...but you got a jump start on it

"Chief 4 Lug" and "Free Blankets Mike"... Ha Ha... I am kidding about Mike. "Blazer Mike." that is much gooder.

I have never seen a top of battery with that many connectors holy shxt !

Solving the spaghetti mystery.

Yeah that looks like a good time Oh wait Better you than me LOL It'll be good 👍 when you're done

i always thought Mikes rig was called the death-star because it could dominate the galaxy ... looking at the wiring i realise it's because 1 hit in the wrong place & it will explode like the death-star .. lol

DRIVESHAFTS, DRIVESHAFTS, DRIVESHAFTS! Tom Woods and Adam's would agree!

You can do it mike.🤟🤘🤙👍😎🌮🍺🙋‍♂️

GREAT VIDEO//////

Make it perfect?? Don't even joke about that!!

❤

Anybody do a wire count? I think Mike added more wires to clean up. 😂😂😂

Chad would be proud! 😂

Hey Mike.. Love ya man.. But, you ain't the wire wizard for sure. Me either.. I figured out a long time ago, that's why car manufacturers designed hoods and fenders on cars, was to hide wiring and other things.. Good luck

Take it to chad!!

I wonder what Chad would say about that wiring ? Thanks for sharing !

3:57 was there a engine in that thing? 😃

Holy Rats Nest !!!

Wouldn't it have been better if you started from scratch on the wiring 🎉😝

Hi I really love your show I will always praying 🙏 for you Mike and Shawn and Rory and your family and friends 🙏 ok please 🙏 be careful out there ok and please 🙏 be safe 🙏 so you get home 🏡 to your family ok 🙏 can you do more new show for all of us please we will be waiting for you ok you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok we wach you as soon you come on ok love Lorilee ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍

I hate wiring. Good luck.

Do they need another driveshaft builder? Im Dana Spicer certified to build driveshafts. I've built thousands of shafts. I ran a DS dealership fer 7 years.

🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

💖💘💖

✌🙂✌
