Firewall Questions

Hell all

I recently got my 2014 Tacoma TRD Sport and was wondering where the best place to go through the firewall would be at if i wanted to install a Amateur Radio in my truck. In my old ford focus i was able to drill through a plastic plate covering an access port basically where the clutch would've been if it were a manual. i haven't found and good spots to go through on the tacoma yet on the drives side. There is an empty tube that goes through on the passenger side and dead ends 2 inches on the other side that i could go thru , but id rather not have to then pull my wires all the way across the engine.

On the drivers side, there is a rubber dam you can tap through..that is how I did my amplifiers and lights. Open the hood and start near the hood hinge on the firewall, I think it's about 6 inches or so down.

Like he mentioned above there is a rubber grommet you can poke a hole through on the driver side.

 

Awesome, i was able to find that grommet, i have my radio powered up now. i dont suppose there's anywhere near the rear of the truck that i could run some coax up to an antenna at? right now i have my coax running out the rear driver side door in between the gasket, would like to do somewhat of a more permanent fix, but preferably without drilling through the roof.

 

Ask in the thread I posted..I know some folks there run CB's..
