    Does anyone have a write up on running wiring from the bed area of the truck, into the cab? Pretty new to electrics amd was not sire if there was a better way before i drill a hole into the lower cab.
    Thanks

    This is referencing the lights that attach to the all pro bed rack for a 2016 tacoma.

    There's a write up on the rear tailgate per lock. In that, it does you can run the wiring through a grommet and into the cab

    There are a heck of a lot of grommets in the cab. Just poke your head around under your truck directly beneath the drivers seat, and you'll see a few. They're about 2.5" in diameter and you can run stuff through there

    When you fold down your seats and take off the plastic panels on the rear driver side, you will notice some vents that's meant for cabin pressure. You can run your wires through there but caution that if you flip it up too much then water can get in. I have had no issues with mine and I ran 2 wires for my rear pods.
