From my research, it seems my options for running constant power to the cargo area are:
Running underneath and up through the plastic cover underneath the rear tail light.
Coming through the firewall on the DS or PS through an existing pass through or drilling a new one.
I'm thinking of running underneath on DS with a 2 or 4 ga wire wrapped in flex loom and secured high on the frame rail to protect from damage. Looking for any compelling reasons not to go this route. It seems least invasive (not tapping into and compromising integrity of an existing firewall boot and not drilling a new hole in the firewall) and just can't think of a situation where I would damage the wire as long as its high on the frame rail. I've also alrwady used the plastic cover beneath the tail light to route my back up camera wiring to the camera on the bumper. So, it's already been drilled out and silicon seems to seal water out of that area fine.
Any thoughts or real life experiences with benefits or negatives for going this route?
Thanks!
