One goes under the truck, in the flat pack holder, and the other goes under the tank.

I guess I should have asked this in the first post, how long should the lead be on the hump pack and on the flat pack. Thanks in advanced.

In jefx's defense I knew what you were up to and almost took mine apart to measure the wires for you but to be honest you're installation might look nothing like mine.For instance my wires run underneath the rotostart backplate where there's a remote possibility that the rotostart shaft could abrade them.Something I'm careful about and willing to live with but maybe you might not and you may think a different route is better........and would curse me later for giving you dimensions of a wiring harness that put the wires in harms way

Peace

LMAO!! That was great.

I was just thinking that there are several ways you could run the wire, so just use whatever works for you. I didn't realize you wanted the packs done before you got the truck.

Well, since my LST is in hundreds of pieces anyway, I'll meausre the harness I built for mine. I also took pics of the installation a while ago, so I'll include those pics as well. I made theis one a tad shorter than I would have preferred it, but haven't bothered to do anythign about it as it fits pefectly, but I like a bit of extra wire so I can move things around a bit easier.

Let's see...bored inhotel room looking for something to do to keep busy..have internet access.....
