Well this 2017 F 150 is tight as hell. Try to figure out how to run wires from battery to in side the cab:confused: Any help would be most appreciated..

I found a way through the firewall on the passenger side of my 2014. No drilling required. There's a rubber grommet sitting there doing nothing as I recall. I'll see if I can get a picture during lunch.
 
Upper left hand corner of the fire wall there's a donut sized rubber seal with a wiring harness in the center. Lots of room on the outer edge to snake a wire through or around. I reinforced the section touching the donut and firewall with a small piece of hard rubber hose and wrapped it with duct tape. Can't see the hose though in the picture.

I think I used #8 as well. Just running a 2/440 50 watt radio but my intent next week is to install a Power Pole power block under the dash.
