Running wires from cab to bed

Hey guys, Do any of you have recommendations on where to run wiring for accessories in your bed? I have a heavy gauge wiring harness (3 14g, 2 12g, and a couple 16g wires) that will be running from my center console to roughly where the passenger rear cubby is and was looking for some examples. Wheres a good place to make a cab penetration? I was considering down through the shifter hole and then along the chassis.

Anyone?


TIA

 

You're on the right track. Go through an existing hole. Go to the frame and down the frame. I would cross the exhaust on top of a crossmember downstream of the cats.

 

Plenty of grommeted holes underneath.

 

There are openings under the driver seat and front passenger seat i think. Not sure if big enough to fit all wires in one opening though. Then as pigpen said tie up along the frame. Use wire loom to protect it from the elements

 

Skip the shifter hole because you'll be exposing your wires to heat from the trans and/or exhaust. There is a rubber grommet on either side of the cab under the driver/passenger seat, near the rocker panels. If you go under the truck, they'll be easy to see right near the mounting bolts for the seat tracks. That'd be your best bet. Your only issue would be to seal the hole against water penetration, but it's not uncommon and there are a lot of examples of how to do that, or you can get creative.

 

Excellent, Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've got the wires in tech braid and will plan to run down the frame and back up into the bed at the rear. Hopefully if I'm not lazy I'll take some pics and ad to my build in case others ask.

 

All of my wires run through the rubber grommets. Piece o cake!
