[QUOTE="justcozz, post: 1613090, member: 13512"] It looks like you figured this out, but I'll add some info for the next guy who tries this. I went through the passenger side floor. There is a grommet you can run through much easier if you need to bring a bundle into the cab without pissing yourself off with the engine bay grommet or if you have larger wires. Pull the kick plate on the passenger side door sill and peel the weatherstripping up enough for you to lift the carpet. You can easily see the grommet right there, just inboard of the door sill by about 4-6 inches, which you can get to. I run my wiring straight down inside the engine compartment to the frame and inside the frame back to a hole below the grommet and then up into the cab. You can seal everything up with some extra silicone sealant and not cut your fingers or scream in anger. I ran my switch pro wiring and larger power cables for the radio through there. Once you are inside of the cab, you can run the wires overhead or to the back seat via the door sill channels. My radio is mounted on the passenger side back seat area, so I have a large power wire that runs through the door sills and then over to a power distribution block on a Builtright plate. Having easier access allows you to bring in those larger wires for a safer install. I've seen a bunch of undersized or marginal wires brought into the cab by people because pulling wire into the cab is such a pain in the ass. The pass-through wires are too anemic the be of much use for higher-powered accessories. [/QUOTE]
