I’m developing X/D Loom (https://xdloom.com), a tool that helps car enthusiasts create automotive wiring diagrams.

About a year ago, I engine-swapped my Nissan D21 hardbody from the Z24 petrol to a TD27T turbo diesel and also installed a whole bunch of accessories, like spotlights, a winch, and an air compressor. But being lazy, I didn’t write down any of the wiring changes I made while doing all of this. So fast forward a year, and now I can’t remember how all the wiring works.

My current project car is a Jeep Cherokee FSJ, and for it, I want to build a completely new loom from the ground up. So to try and avoid making the same mistake I made with the Nissan, I Googled “create automotive wiring diagram”, but all the results were for complex enterprise grade solutions charging $200/month. That’s why I created X/D Loom as a project car guys' tool for creating wiring loom diagrams. It allows you to drag different electrical components onto a canvas, connect them with wires, and export them to a PDF or PNG.

My son and I are about to tear into a 1987 Wrangler. This is going to be very helpful when we're undoing 40 years of modifications on this thing.
