Dodge Dakota Power Wire Location

[JMac8582]

I've been looking for a place to run my power wire (4 gauge) into the cab of my ext cab dakota for a while. Casually looking would be a better explanation. Anyone out there know of a place to run it, or am I going to have to drill? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

*EDIT*

1999 Dakota, lol, that might help.

Drivers side footwell is where I ran mine. I didn't have to drill IIRC.

there is a a big grommet for the fuse box on the firewall (about halfway down) you cant miss it, slice it and put it in the hole leads right into your kick panel.

try to go through the firewall where other wires go through.Usually there will be a big rubber grommet.I use this spot, sometimes if it wont fit through with the other wires i cut a hole where the extra rubber is and run it through, that way i dont have to worry about it getting caught on any sharp metal from drilling holes without grommets. you just have to lay down on your back inside your car with a flashlight and start searching, thats the only way youll ever get it done.
