    Looking for ideas on routing wire through body

    I've got my roof rack installed on the 110. Planning on running a forward light bar, rear flood/task light, beacon (for work) and a solar panel. All of these wires need to penetrate the skin at some point to get to the new panel. Owning a boat I know you can get waterproof glands, but before I head in any one direction, has anyone got any ideas that look smart and factory? I really don't want it looking a mess.

    Or if you've got a ladder to your roof rack, go up that with conduit

    You reckon I should find a way to bring the wires down the body before heading through the body? I initially thought of drilling some holes in the vertical surface above one of the rear 1/2 windows at the rear end.

    That's what I did. A gland in the scoop on the snorkel and fed the wires down and out into the engine bay. No holes in the body.
