That is a great idea, I hid all my wires and then tested them only to find a small gauge wire had broken going to my back-up camera. Yours is a better way.

As I was testing the circuts I found two wires I had incorrectly labled. I just wanted to make sure the wiring was going to work and not burn my Jeep to the ground. That would be a bad day

Here's the firewall hole on my 07. Thanks SaddleTramp and Will! Right behind the wireloom.

Ok so I just routed my pwr wires. Take a long thin screw driver and push through the insulation at a downward angle. Then push a piece of string line through the hole.
I used neon green and tied to my wires and pulled them through. The entry point is on the passenger side about 24 inches up behind the cabin air filter.
If you have skinny arms it will be easy but with tree limbs for arms and meat hooks for hands it was a little difficult.
Then I routes the wires under the glove box support and stores the coiled wire for later use.
.
In the engine compartment I coil and stuck it behind the battery until I am ready.
Hope this helps.

Looks great Will! :thumb:
I always recommend using a grommet on any metal hole, but this factory hole is a little too large for a typical grommet, but if someone had some door edge trim left over from trimming their fenders, that would probably work good around the inside metal lip of the hole, and the tape that is over the hole is the same tape used in place of duct tape on furnaces. The silver high temp tape (available at any Home Depot, etc). I would use some of that to seal the hole back up after running your wires.

Thats definitely a better access point than running it all the way to the drivers side kickpanel access point.

Oh really? But the battery tray has to come out to access it? Because I can't find an opening on the passenger side in my 2012
no it does not. did you look at the photo on the previous page?

Yes I did, the photo CanvasJK posted? Maybe my pages aren't correct since I'm on my phone but I don't see wires thru the firewall on the previous page

i posted 2 pics as well on page 11
ahh sorry i didnt know. there are a few users that posted a few pictures. anyway you dont need to take the battery out. its on the firewall behind the insulation
Yes pull the insulation back and you will see a black plastic cover that is glued to the firewall. Use a screwdriver to punch through the insulation in the cabin and feed your wires. I used a string line to get it through. Oh wait you have a fish line so use that.
