where did you get those grommets to run the wire through your roof? those are very slick. i need some as well!! thanks
 
This is such a cool mod!
I could've used train horns on my drive into work tonight...
 
Another question about those Heyco plugs. Is there a nut inside the roof securing them or do they just screw in?

Yes, they have locking nuts on the inside of the roof :cool:

A bunch of shots of the cable routing using Heyco watertight plugs :cool:















more to come......

Snake, what do you use between the Heyco plugs and roof? Silicon? I got some Heyco plugs and planning to run some light wires thru the existing roof rack holes but not sure what to use to prevent leaking. Do you think Toyota fipg ok?

I've read through this whole thread, I like what you're doing. I picked up some Heyco plugs online, looking forward to installing them in a week or so.

I know its been a few years now, but do you by any chance remember where online you got the Heyco glands? So far I'm only finding them in bulk, or outrageously expensive.
 
@Luke111 thanks. I found similar bulk-package links on Amazon and ebay too. Since I only need one, I guess I was hoping to find somewhere I could purchase ONE unit, not ten. On my budget, I hate paying $17 (including freight) for a 50 cent piece of hardware... [sigh]:(
 
@98 SNAKE EATER Looks like you have 2 pieces of 2 gauge cable going through the roof with those cable glands. Is the third one a piece of some sort of conduit for smaller wires? If so, just curious what you used for the conduit. (I only need to run 4 pieces of 10 gauge wire for my lighting, and am searching for some suitable black conduit material. So far not finding what I want...)
