Was working on wiring up my DMH Cutout and spent a few hours figuring out the best location. First I looked at VeryTalonTed's post and running it thru the upfitter grommet. I was able to squeeze it past the grommet without cutting it, but I didn't like the fact that it could get pinched between the grommet and the firewall.

While looking for ISFAST's hole ( :********: ) in the front passenger kick panel area, I found a taped up hole that is directly under the passenger floor board near the door sill. It is obviously taped up by the factory and can be taped up again once I run the wires thru it to the e-cutout. Here are a few pics of the taped up hole for your reference if you ever want to run a wire under the truck WITHOUT DRILLING HOLES. It is pretty obvious from the bottom of the truck.

The first two pics are from under the passenger side door looking up. I'm pointing right at it. The third is looking at the passenger floor board.

Hope this helps somebody. By the way, if someone already posted pics or instructions with this, sorry. I couldn't find them if so.

Yeah I'm going to have to upload some pics of the grommets I was telling you about. They aren't the easiest to see, but I just took like and ice pick or a soldering iron tip and punch a hole and run the wires. I saw that hole as well but I personally won't run a wire in or out of a cab without a grommet. I saw a few people burn up carpet and glad it wasn't the whole truck.

Here are a few i took a long time ago.
