I usually zip tie to existing hard lines or use the Mag Daddy Zip Daddy fasteners to hold them. I wrap them with the woven nylon sleeve.

Good thing I already have some.
I haven't been having trouble with zip ties, but I also seek out better quality versions. You can also get the Mag Daddy in 2 different clamp styles and I've used a couple of those. After a while I just switched to using the zip tie version all the time since I've been having good luck with those.
Neither have I but it adds less to my prep list.
When I added the front bump stops on the front for BB17 I had to relocate the brake line fitting into the frame. I cut the little tab off and looped two zip ties... It's still on the truck.
Zip ties are a maintenance item for sure. I use them until I am sure thats the way it's gonna stay and then do it perm. with clamps. I try to split loom 1st thou cuase it's a bitch to go back and split loom an existing run.
Got this in the mail today which will help wiring this thing up.
Maybe, but it covers up the crap you could see...
I keep telling myself this is totally worth it. 20 crimps in this picture.
Little more done, front light wiring, horn and rear lights.
Tessa Tape!
It was that or heat shrink the ends.
It is worth it. I used to hate writing but seeing how good it looks to have it nice and tidy and form fitted. That makes all the difference.
I love wiring when I have the time/tools/parts to do it right.
Nice! I have that tape on my wishlist but haven't bought it yet because I wasn't 100% sure how I'd use it. I like how you used it!
It's worth it in every aspects, buy it!
Lookn good!
