How do I get to the rear of the cabin in a CrewMax?? Cable routing?

    I need to have a CB antennae and an LED lightbar on the roof of my Tundra. I previously ran the cables out of the passenger rear door opening, but discovered it was not water tight, and looked trashy.

    So I figured the best way would be to route the cables under the back seat and to the rear of the cab, then out an access port, and up the back of the cab to the roof.

    But, I was hoping that there was a factory port already there with a plug. If not, I can drill a 1" hole and silicone the crap out of it.

    But looking at the rear seats, they only fold up and I can't figure out a way to move the seats forward or out of the way to get access to the back cab wall.

    It looks like I actually have to unbolt the seat to even look for an access port. Is this correct?

    There are few plugged access holes under the back seat.
    You're probably going to have to pull the seat and carpet to really know what is under there..

    This is my DC, your CM will be different.

    I ran my wiring for cargo/bed lights and amp step lights in the access hole on the floor in front of the driver and passenger seats..

    Good luck..

    A few... Definitely more than 2
    I ran power for a 120 outlet through this circled grommet under the rear passenger seat from an inverter in my bed. I pulled the rear passenger seat the trim from the door sill, and folded the carpet out of the way. Only takes 15-20mins if you know what you are doing. A little longer for your first attempt.
