I'm finally getting around to running the wires for my portable power pack. These are heavy gauge wires from the battery (fused of course) to the interior of the vehicle (LX470). Crawling around under the truck I found a hole in the body, with a rubber filler. On one side of the truck this is used for some electrical harness. The other side is unused, so it will be my entry point into the cabin. It is pretty convenient, right next to the frame, so securing the wires underneath will be easy.
In the cabin, this hole comes up around the second row foot well. I almost never have passengers (and rarely even install the 2nd row seats), so this is work able, if not ideal. I'm not loving having the cables come out right at somebody's feet, so I'm thinking about running them under the carpet for about 8-10 inches so they can come out in a more protected spot under the seat. I'll put the wires in some wiring loom as a chafe guard. Even so, I'm still 20% concerned about whether or not this is a good idea. It's a no traffic area, but still...
Anyway, where ever the wires come out, I'll have to cut the carpet. Does anyone have advice on how to make a tidy installation of the hole in the carpet? figure 1 inch in diameter.
