jammer Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I've been plowing now for three years and have been runing the wires out from under the hood and into the front seat through the passanger window but would like to do it proper and punch it through the firewall. Has anyone done this and if so where is the best location? BTW if anyone is looking for a plow mine is made by Snowbear and it's great. It's light duty but has easily handles 18" of snow and more. The mounting bracket is made for a pathy so no drilling, just bolts right on. Plow is raised and lowered by a winch which is on the plow bracket not the truck and can be manually angled left or right. Bought it at Crappy Tire (AKA Canadian Tire) for around $1000 if I remember correctly and it paid for itself in the first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx_flatlander Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just find you a place where there are no lines or wires. I ran the wires for my subs and aux lights on the passenger side. Be sure to use a rubber grommet or something of the sort so you dont end up rubbing a hole in your wires and shorting them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94extreme Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 i have wires running through the firewall where the harness goes through.. the grommet is very waterproof and can be hard to deal with as it's folded over a few times but with a little patience and nimble fingers you can get wires through there.. no problem.

Cuong Nguyen Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I drilled a hole through the master cylinder clutch plate and put a grommet to run my postive lead for my amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 On my 87 and 88 there is a block off plate in the engine compartment right above the spot where the throttle cable goes through the firewall. It is held on with 3 screws. Pop the screws and pull the plate and you can drill it conveniently on the workbench. Make sure you put a grommet in!
