Anyone got pics of how they ran wires on their cage? I know multiple places make zip tie tabs. I would have liked to run it though the cage but forgot to drill holes. Just looking for what others have done to spark an idea. Thanks.

They have all that stuff pretty cheap.
 
I was thinking of using weld studs and the cushioned cable clamps for installing my wiring and hoses. I do like the tabs though. Might have to make a jig and make some from straight stock.
 
back before you could buy little tabs like that cheap, I'd take washers and weld them to the tube/frame for zip tie points. very simple and a sack of washers is dirt cheap.

If you use bigger ones like 5/16 or 3/8 you can lay it down flat, weld outside about 1/3 way around, then bend the washer out a bit to make a tab. Or just butt weld it on. either way works.
 
Under my dash I welded I bunch of 3/4 or 1 inch lock washers. I opened them up a little. And only welded them at one end to the tube. That way wires could be added and changed during the build.
