Passenger side kick panel. Remove the fuse panel cover and remove the sill plate. You have to look up under the dash you will see a piece of black rubber with foam on the back of it. Pull that down but do not remove it. Behind that you will see the fire wall. You will see a large rubber grommet to the right of the grommet you will see a slight triangular piece of the firewall. You can drill a hole there and insert a grommet. It is best if you remove the battery before hand. Then do a check to verify the drilling location on both the interior and exterior side of the fire wall. It is really a piece of cake and leaves plenty of room for 0ga. I have 0 going through there and several other wires in another grommet.

You licky bastage.....I can never find that stuff. I am always told it is in stock but the packages are empty...lol.

Scott when it comes to 0ga it really is important to use a high quality wire. Generally the higher quality wire is alot more flexible then lower grades. The flexiablily allows the wire to be tucked away better.

Under my hood I ran the 0ga from the battery to the alternator under the wind shield wiper cowl. Only place I could really get the wire through the engine bay without possible problems.
