OK folks, I am putting my junk in today. I need to know if someone knows the best way to get through my firewall. I'd prefer not to have to drill... Anyone know what the hell I am doing? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] 2002 Explorer XLT

In my car, i had a free hole already!
In my buddies car, we just jamed the wire through an existing hole amd forced it through together with the stock wires. Nothing is pinching and it works great.

batterys on the passenger side right?
most of the grommets are on the driver side
see if theres a factory grommet you can use just make sure theres nothing on either side before you poke the hole
