HELP: Ground wire placement?

I have a 2006 F-150 FX4 super cab.

I need to run a ground wire for my backup camera.
Where is the easiest place to run this?
If through the fire wall where is the easiest/ safest place to get through the fire wall?

I'm assuming that the ground wire is coming from the back of the unit which is located in the dashboard??? There are PLENTY of metal crossbars (look underneath the steering wheel behind the dash) that would provide an ample ground location for said wire. Good luck

I don't know if you want to use a self-taper and make a new hole in one of the metal braces. If not, I'm sure you can find a bolt to unscrew and place your ground on that.

A good place in that area is the fuse box bolt.
