    Are there other easier spots to feed wires from the engine bay into the cab?

    That main wire loom on the driver side seems so congested that I'm afraid I might damage one of the wires there by using a metal wire to feed thru. I already squeezed 3 wires thru there already, need to run a couple more, and it's getting tight. Do you guys cut up that rubber grommet?

    I cut an extra slit in mine and now have various wires going through.

    I believe there is a little nipple you can cut to run wires into the cab. Same spot

    Yeah I'm going to have to punch another hole through the firewall soon too.

    I drilled a 1/2" hole in my firewall by the clutch pedal right below the main grommet and used that to run all my wires. Ran probaby 10 wires through there or better with room for more.

    There's also a solid grommet on the passenger side that already has a blank hole in it, I reemed it out a bit larger and installed a new grommet.

    I did this too, but also put some silicone sealant around it.

    I used the hole that is right behind the master cylinder. The grommet was too small to re-use as a protector of the wires so I ran split duct through the existing hole in the firewall and left about 3 inches exposed inside the cab. I did have to cut a small "X" into the carpet.
