I had to modify my ECU mounting to clear the hood hinge assembly I installed and to me there's little room.


Thanks
I don't know about the lottery, but maybe Uncle Sam will be sending you a check in the mail soon!

For the inner fender, I'm going to take a trailer fender and weld it to the inside of the fender for my wheel well. Right now all I need to move is the wiring harness where it goes into the firewall so that I can steer when driving low.

The 95 and up are different. I know on the new models the ABS and ECU are a little more tricky to work around. I've seen guys make brackets on the new inner fender for those, but since mine's the older model, my ECU is in the dash and my ABS is out of the way.

Here's a picture where the tire sits now, not a very good angle. There is not as much junk under the hood of the older models, so I' lucky in that aspect.
