GEN 2 Just gave up trying to run wire to S1 backup lights from engine compartment

I defnitely think you should rewire inside the frame this time.............

I'm sure you have been inundated with different approaches - I'm impressed by those fishing the wire inside of the frame rail - but here are my $.02. You can get insulating sheaths (from place like harbor freight, etc.) and wrap those around the wires, and then run the insulated wire assembly along the outside of the frame rail secured by zip ties. It may be a bit PWT, but I've had mine installed that way for a while. The insulating plastic sheath helps protect against chafing (particularly against zip ties, etc.). It was easy to drop the line down the fire wall and follow the frame rail. "Hardest" part is in the back when you are shuffling around exhaust and spare tire. Well worth the effort when backing up, etc.

It’s not that hard, I’m re-doing mine this week wrapping the wire with braided flex wrap.

Man Law: it’s only acceptable to drink scotch if there’s no bourbon readily available

I do think there is a need for Bourbon and that would be to supply the barrels for Scotch!!

Run it thru the passenger side frame.
That’s how I ran mine. Thru the frame and not next to it.
A fish tape is a must.
Go in from just behind front tire and pull the wires from the back to the front up to where the uplift wires are for power.
Zip tie extra wire at the back and stuff that into the frame also.
Easy

Same here; Passenger side frame to the aux switch cause I don't always need them but if I do they're handy.

admit it... ya need bourbon to make scotch palatable

Full disclosure: I right like Balvenie 16 and a couple other scotches out there. Obviously it’s not as good as bourbon, but it’s ok stuff ;-)

My own preference but I think the backup lights look better mounted up inbetween the recovery hooks and the exaust tips. There are already some mounting holes up there so no drilling.
Where you have them they can easily be snagged and/or broken.
My opinion....no offense please.

yes, my neighbor has been there. IIRC I’ve had the 8 and 16 y.o. --scotch-- 8 is relatively new release and not a bad bang for the buck.

ETA that we’re talking about scotch here folks, so peeps like @melvimbe don’t go all epstein on us.
