Grounding in the Rear

I'm running a 12V outlet to the storage bins in the truck bed. Would you run a pair of wires, so that you could run the ground back to the distribution block or would you ground it back there?

If you would ground it back there, are there any easy places that you would recommend?

 

Drill a hole in the frame and run a short wire to it. Bolt it in place and you're set. Seriously, it's cake and will be the best ground you'll find.

 

Thanks. I'm always skeptical about drilling into the frame for fear of rust. I probably shouldn't worry, I don't offroad and I'll never drive on salted roads.

 

After you drill the frame, and make the connection, spray some underbody protector on it. You can find the stuff at Napa. It works well.

 

Between the salted roads and salt spray from the ocean our vehicles are pretty much doomed around here.

 

that sounds better than what I was planning on doing...I was going to gob some grease over it.

derail away. Don't forget the salty women up there...

 

Yourself?

 

well, I do have a functional truck.

 

you didn't need proof from Mike before he took you home in his civic.

are you speaking of the Ford?

 

Technically, I drove off in the Civic alone and left her wanting more.
