Light bar or roof rack wiring
Im looking into getting either a light bar or a yakima basket and mounting some lights on it. im just wondering where you guys mount the wires from the top into the cab? id like to do it without drilling any holes.

i drilled a hole, but its under the cap of the roof rail so you never see it. here the write i i did when i installed the first 2, i have since ran 2 more power lines down the passenger side the same way for 2 more KCs and 2 back up lights. http://www1.pacific.edu/~c-eaklan/4r...htwrite-up.htm
edit: this requires you to have a sun roof... if you dont, then you can come out the 3rd brake light from the inside and run it to the rack that way. or run it up the weather striping depending on where your rack is located.

i searched the tech forum but didnt really come up with anything that explained about wire routing. so any advice or suggestions would be great.
I really like the look of your setup tofer ( i checked out your link )
but i dont have a sunroof or a factory rack. i thought about drilling a hole where the rack fot would sit and hopefully that would be tight enough not to leak once its all tightend up. bu tthen i have a hole sitting there if i ever remove the rack.
