    Hello everyone, anyone know if there's any premade holes through the fire wall in a 2017 Tacoma I can run 4 gauge power wire through?

    I am in the process of doing that on a 07. I drilled a hole underneath the existing wire bundle. I used 0 guage thought. 4 guage you could probably pull that through the existing wire bundle.

    Ok, just make sure it's properly fused and all. I don't like that large of wire running in.

    There are some rubber grommets under the cab you could use if routing them along the frame would be fine for a bit.

    There should be a rubber boot with the main wireing loom going into cab on driver side, if you look beside it there should be a rubber tit, cut the tip and run wire through there. I ran 7 wires through it for my switches. Stretched around the wire good and tight.
