Has anyone put another pass thru in the firewall? I have several wires going thru the grommet already and cannot fit another. I need to install a cutoff (solenoid) for my winch, 3 wires, and a GMRS radio, 2 wires and an antenna. I see there is a piece of plastic on the inside of the firewall that I could cut a 1” hole thru and then thru the firewall. Looking to hear from someone who has done this . Thanks for any input.

I put mine thru and drilled the plastic plug just above the pedals. Just below the brake master cylinder on one with all three. My wife's, the power/ground on the 00 wires going to the after market stereo amplifier under the driver's seat and the antenna in the one above the pedals.

There is a plastic plug in the firewall near the brake pedal. It is the hole that is used by the clutch for those with a manual transmission. If you have an automatic, it should provide ample room to run all the wire you need.

I removed the plastic plug, drilled a hole in the center of it, ran my snow plow control wiring through it and used a rubber grommet in the hole I made in the plastic plug I drilled.
I further sealed with RTV.

Thanks Shadowspapa, I’ve used that one a lot and already have several wires running thru there. I was able to run my Warn solenoid switch wires thru, but there’s no way I ll be able to fit my Midland power wires and antenna cable thru. Others suggested going thru the windshield gap and side cowl . I’m going to look at that today. Thank you for your input.

I went through the cowl/windshield gap for my dashcam power, and the other side for my antenna. gmrs power went through the firewall. The cowl/gap works really well
