    Good place to run wires into cab

    Where is a good place to run wires into the cab? The wires are for a electric cutout and i have a extended cab if you need to know that. If you have any pictures that would be good to.

    Thanks

    there is a large rubber gromet in the firewall on the drivers side in the corner. thats the cleanest place. On my Dmax, where I dont Care how it looks, I run all my wires through the rubber boot next to the steering shaft. works good for large plugs too. hope it helps

    on DBW trucks you have a hole where the TB cable is there for cable TB model trucks. it has a rubber plug in its place

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Also there is a nice boot on the floor on the drivers side where the shift cable runs through. Use a razorblade and cut a x in it and run them through it..

    +1 on what most of these guys are saying. the big rubber grommet that most of your wires run through is where I have ran 8g power wire in 90% of the trucks I have installed in. Just get yourself a long stiff wire tie and run it through after you cut a little slit in the rubber, tape your wire to it and viola! You can also drill right next to that grommet on the inside of the firewall(there is a little flap that is pre-cut into the insulation that has a little tab on it) grip it, rip it, drill it. comes out right next to the main harness on the firewall. make sure you use a step bit though, don't want to go too far. put a plastic grommet in the hole and you are done. I will get you some pics of this at lunch.
