My car is dead right now and I'm thinking its cuz of my wires being cut by the tires. My boy is doing the wire tuck for me so I'll ask him. PM me your number and I'll hit you up.

I removed the clips holding it up, took off the plastic loom and wrapped it in fresh electrical tape. Tucked it up using zipties and gorilla tape. Alot of gorilla tape. Its been fine so far for about 8 months. Even through rain and car washes. I still have my fender liner in there, although its all ripped to shreds from rubbing, but it prevents most of the water splashing up touching the tape so it doesnt loosen up.
Although if i drilled some holes I could really get it up there using zip ties. But id have to remove my fender to get access to drill the holes. Too lazy

That tuck is actually super easy. I'd do it for as many beers as I could drink in the time it took me..... but I'm not local.
And I'd probably waste time to drink beer.

I just did this on a ucf10. Quite simple....
First I removed fuseblock from its housing in the engine bay to give slack in the harness. There is a plastic grommet that mounts inside the housing, and to give enough slack, i took it out of its place and remounted the fuse boxes.
Remove liner and clips holding main harness and windshield washer reservoir lines. I opted to bend part of the rail downwards where the harness would tuck up along rail, this allowed the harness not to be pinched between fender and frame rail.
Then drilled 2 holes along rail, ran zip ties mounted harness and cinched zip ties down. Worked like a charm.
Wish I had pictures, hard to explain with words.

Don't know about the LS but with my Aristo I relocated it like so:
I unwrapped the harness and run all the smallest wires/connectors inside the frame rail and the rest I re-wrapped and zip-tide on the side.
