10 runs of 1/0

[flashlight_65]

If its under the car why does it have to look pretty? And what are you using 10 runs for?

Straight runs from the 4 alts and the battery line to the buss bars in the rear that I need to mount

I have 4 runs of knu 1/0, not the flexible stuff. but I dont have mine covered up just zip tied to the frame. no problems yet and its been that way since October. It looked fine last time I was under there, I check the zip ties out every time its parked inside to make sure none broke and they are rubbing on anything.

Good to know. I have the flexy stuff and the soft jacket kinda worries me

you could paint the pvc pipe. and after you use expnding foam you can paint that also. like a black

I'll see if techforce will make a big knukonceptz sticker like 4" x 20" to put on the pipe lol and put 50,000 strand count on it lol

Any suggestions for the hole cut out?

Ok after looking at all the rust and places I can run it looks like I might have to gut the 'hoe again and run it under the carpet. FTL?

can you not find a good spot that wont get hot and burn the electrical conduit? Because what i would say to do is get some of that gray electrical conduit pipe and run your wires through that. Then to anchor and bend it (bending will be a pain in the ass tho) get some metal brackets that are stainless steel and bolt them down into the metal of your truck. If you can i would use nuts and bolts to hold the pipe in place. Then like the other guys said on here use some of the expanding foam.

Now what i personally did for when i ran my wires through the firewall on my truck and car, i sealed it off tightly by using some of the weather putty they have when you put a hvac system on your house. Like if you go outside of your house (if you have central air), look at where the condensor and power wires go through the wall of your house. Around the wires and the tube there will be like a rubbery weather putty that is very strong. I have used the same chunk of putty on both my cars (the putty i have is over 2 years old and it is still like its brand new) and i have not had any leaks with it what so ever. I would prefer to use the putty over expanding foam as the foam will break down when it get weathered where the putty from what ive seen and tested holds up really great. Now the putty from what i have seen is bad when you hit it with sunlight as it dries it up fast but under your truck i highly doubt that will happen at all.

You can get the putty at home-depot, lowes, or any other hardware store like that. They sell it in a brick looking shape and it is usually gray in color but can come in black too. It is usually wrapped in white wax paper and goes for about $2-3.

I wouldnt really run pvc piping because like you said it can build up with all the road crap and plus i find pvc is easier to melt than the electrical conduits they make (even though they are both pvc)

i have 4 runs of klmx under my truck for 2 years, i drive my truck through mud, snow, ive drove in the lake and shit...never had a single problem and the jacket although dirty is still in tact

Hmmm...... It's just after getting under it I really have any place that I can mount a 5" pipe without covering brake/fuel lines and still keep it above the bottom of the frame.
