Yup, if you have an air drill, with a step drill bit it will go real fast. make it a nice big hole , then after you run the wires fill in the gap with silicone, then if you ever need to run anything else, you already have a hole, and all you have to do is poke out the silicone

Any idea where roughly would be clear of heater/ac parts (looking from inside) was going to drill a hole but looking at it from the engine side looks like theres a lot of HVAC stuff in the way

You also have the big plug in the floorpan that gives access to the front cab mount bolts. The cab mount is open in the front too, so you can easily pull some big ol honking wires thru there without drilling.

Currently power wires for a ham radio (much more powerful CB on diffrent frequencies), already had the right side a-piller trim off to run the antenna wire so just ran the power wires down on that side, eventully plan on adding a switch panel as well. (have a shelf at top of windshield)

I'll snap some pics tomorrow of my power feed setup in the Bronco tomorrow, maybe it can give you an idea! As well as try n do same for the white rhino...both have/had 2M radios. I like the Bronco setup most ;)

You must be registered for see images attach


Radio test fitted but prior to wires ran, figure eventully have the switch panel running between radio and door on the left.
