running wiring to the back?

Anyone run their wiring for the fuses under the hood to their rear hatch area? Was thinking of doing this to simplify and make it easier to deal with. This is what I'm thinking of:

Looks like too much trouble for what it's worth to me.

Easier to deal with? Just out of curiousity how many fuses are you having to replace that it would require a complete rewiring of the car to make it easier? Way more trouble than it's worth IMO.

I want to make them more accessible. I won't have this many and they won't be on display. I just want them in the back to make it easier to get to them.

Isnt the hatch pretty much just as far away as the hood? Plus the hood pops up with a single lever.. you have to undo 3 screws to get under the rear panel

Looks kinda neat I guess, but seems totally un-necessary... but if you're bored, go for it and post pics

My fuse boxes are no longer under the hood. They have been relocated to under the car next to the engine drivers side where the air pump used to be. Everytime I want to get to them for a problem like now I have to jack up the car and use jackstands. I would rather not go through all that if I didn't have too

I didn't move them, Speed did in order to make the necessary room for the twin setup.

Ah, ok!! Now I'm understanding your dilema a bit more. All of our fuses are still under the hood so when you asked that question we were like...why? We don't have to crawl under the car to change fuses! Considering your situation I'd say that's not a bad way to do it at all.

Yeah I see I forgot that part in the beginning...lol! Yeah jack the car up and crawling under there just sucks! Especially when there is an electrical issue like I have now. Very hard to get your hands in there to deal with anything and it is a nest of wires.
