From the circuit inside, I took it across the inside of the hood, under all the plastic, and took a positive through the side A-pilar, inside the door and into the cubby area where I mounted a round switch- Its not perfect but I couldn't find a port into the cabin from the engine bay....

I'm good with all of the wiring other than getting it to the roof rack. Can you send a few pics of it above the a pillar?

Black helps, but you'll see in the crack above the pilar a wire fit down in there - I put two separate wires instead of one combine.

As you get towards the rack, I used 2inch gloss black vinyl to cover the wire to the rack

Thanks for sharing. Looks really clean. I have the white roof which complicates things.

We love our fully loaded P400 HSE Explorer pack. The ladder is great! My winch is in a box in the garage I’m waiting on Powerfuluk to YouTube the install instructions so I can tackle it.

Very very nice! Question, did you install the tube side steps or did the dealer?

Buy white wires - or try black - it might look like part of the separation.

Any thoughts on the ladder? Curious to see it open and in different stages of use. Thoughts from people who’ve used, etc. I have until 11/9 to change anything on my build.
