i drilled a hole through my roof, black RTV inside and out. i've never had a problem with leaks in my two jeeps with black RTV just on the outside, but i had the headliner out of the rover so i just smeared some on the inside too.

I drilled a hole in the gutter and ran wire, in gutter to rack mount, for roof lights.

I did not take photos because it looked horrible

The switch wiring goes up halfway the external a-pillar, hole cut into the metal a-pillar, and behind the interior plastic a-pillar cover.

same way, as mentioned ^.
tucked in gutter, from hole above pillar, ran to first rack mount, then up to lights. I'd take a pic, but it looks like rtv, at this point.
but my switch wires drop back down and under, coming in the cab, from near brake grommet

apparently good light bars do not improve dusty's daytime driving abilities...

I can attest to Dusty's light bar. At SCARR we did a night run and it was like driving in the day time. However Dusty does like to off road with no lights at night. That my friends is very interesting.....
