    I'm trying to run some 0 gauge to the back wall of my double cab... any ideas on where? - currently i have it through the firewall on driver side and down through the foot trim... but there appears to not be a through point from front cab to back cab on the foot trim... and this wire is THICK ... so not really wanting to just be under the carpet either .....ugh

    Hmmm. That's odd. I ran my 0/1 gauge wire through the firewall, down the foot trim, all the way to the back of the vehicle. Granted, I had to remove the center pillar trim, to get it through there. Oh, never mind, I see that your rig is a 2nd gen. Ok, your other option is to run it under the truck, and up through one of the rubber grommets at the back of the cab. This is what I had to do to the wife's 4-Runner and it worked fine. I am assuming that the 2nd gen has rubber grommets in the floor as I believe Toyota does that with all of their trucks and SUV's.

    Pull the b pillar trim where the seatbelt is and you can lay it right through no problems. Can’t do it with that trim piece on.

    No it’s a pain compared to most panels. Pull the seat belt , and the whole panel snaps off. Top and bottom come off as one piece. They are on there pretty good. Just be careful and don’t give up.

    We have beautiful weather here in San Diego. It was too nice to even work. But I did finish up my speaker adapters. Here's a pic.
