I routed my 8 gauge down in between the wheel well and firewall then up through a hole in the bottom of the cab.

I ran 0/1 gauge in this electrical conduit you can find at Lowes. I ran that underneath the truck and then up through a gromet on the rear passenger floor board. It was a *very* TIGHT fit with that conduit, but it's safe and not going anywhere.

Right around the brake booster you will find a hole. Its a rubber cirlce, just push it out, run your wires through a hole which you will drill in the rubber piece and it works great. dont drill the hole too big because then you will have a draft.

4g wire ran through a rubber grommet, but I think 0g can fit too the grommet is pretty big.
Its on the right side when looking under the hood.

Yep as everyone else is saying there should be a rubber gromet on the firewall on the drivers side that you can run it through, I ran mine from this up and through the cowel (sp?) at the top of the firewall then over to the battery and it looks pretty clean.

I ran my 4g in the rubber area where the steering column goes through. Never could see any blank rubber gromets on that side.

Ran 4 guage under the truck and attached to the frame with heavy zip ties run in carflex conduit.. It also has seal tight fittings and drilled a hole in the floor behind the rear small seat .. Got a 100 amp fuse at the battery and 2 50 amp fuses on a block before the two amps.. I used a 90degree 3/4inch seal tight fitting to run it through the floor .. Had to use a unibit and drill a 3/4 inch hole.. but no problem with that at all
