Just want to know on a manual 2015 jk, where is everyone running their accessory wires to the battery? I'm having trouble finding a good path

This works on the 2013.

See the second page.

If you check my build thread there is a place right behind the batter that goes directly into the cabin area. It takes some body twisting to get so the where it comes through but works. Additionally there are two foam plugs that you can use.

You will have to remove the plastic side piece and you will see it. It is just indie the door jamb on the firewall just below the windshield channel.

I tried to use that foam spot but it's a very small opening only big enough for 2 wires

You can open that hole up quite a bit. I have a 3/8" wire loom running through it with several wires inside.

No. I used a long drill bit on a slow rpm on my hand drill and went slowly. Then fed the loom with the wires through. I have eight 14ga wires inside that.

Again if you look at my build thread Blank Canvas you will see how I routed the wires behind the battery.
