    I’m trying to figure out how to run wiring for the front locker into the cab and would like some input/your opinions. I’ve run some wires through the section on the driver side but there isn’t room for the harness.

    Harness:

    Driver side that’s pretty much stuffed:

    I ran the compressor wiring through here but the harness for the locker is fairly thick which makes me hesitant to run it here:

    Did see this on the passenger side and considering cutting a hole to fit the harness:

    Any thoughts on which location would be best, any areas you all have run wires not in above pics?

    Thanks!

    I've been able to push different connectors through both those driver and passenger grommets, you should be able to as well. Carefully cut a hole, stick a piece of bailing wire through first and either wrap it or tape it to that connector to help work it through. If you're worried about water getting through the incision when you're done, use some epoxy or liquid tape to seal it back up.

    I went through the floor pan on the passenger side. But I happened to have a spare grommet from the driver side floor pan

    De-pin the connector and fish wires through the existing hole?

    Or cut, feed through and splice back together after.
