flashlight_65 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Any suggestions? Pretty much under the truck with a 4" hole in the back somewhere (probably just behind the rear seat on the driver side) I'm stationed out in rainy Washington state but eventually I'll be moving back the Minnesota and want it to be protected against the elements and road salt. Will the jacket suffice on the knu wire or does anyone have any other suggestions on running or protecting it.

mr.p Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 holy hell 10 runs of 1/0...when i run it under car i usually use welding or marine wire with the hard plastic jacket...ill be using knu and will just use rubber mounts and stick it to the frame...the rubber will be fine long as it doesnt rub.

flashlight_65 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'll be using these along the frame for the first few runs using stainless hardware and then use some heavy duty zip ties for the rest if I leave it exposed Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashlight_65 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I thought about that too or in that grey electrical conduit but am worried about moisture getting trapped in the tube and just chilling in there especially back home with the repeated freeze and thaw Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
