I tried to fish my wires through the pillar, was able to do it a few times but had one wire that just would not go. I didn’t take the pillar completely off, I was able to loosen it and then pry it open and then route through. Thank you for the very helpful video. It gave me confidence to try my own diy project. The 4Runner is really the easiest modern vehicle to mod.
Did the install today per your instructions and it was perfect. Thank you. Rather than using fishing tape for the rear panel wires running over the wheel well, I had to use a wire hanger. Much easier. Now to install the second battery and Bam! I'll have a Dometic added to the kit and will enjoy cold dry food and beers...
Hello, thank you for making this detailed video on your wiring install. I’m planning to mount a ham radio main unit in that storage area so I’ll need to run power just as you did plus the remote head unit cable back to the dash. You’ve made figuring that out much easier.
If you’re ground to chassis, only need to run one cable… I ran a 4 gauge cable to my aft fuse panel, that way it can handle a bunch of accessories. Just my thoughts.
@@cmoreoverland6739 the smaller gauge you use the more likely to over burden the wire you are and you have the potential to start a fire. If you want to feel comfortable always run a heavier gauge than you need, especially to a fuse panel as you want all of the cumulative loads to be safe running in the wires.

This is great stuff. Your prior vid also solved the access issue in the cargo area for me. Thanks.
Excellent video, thanks.
Thanks for recording. It was very helpful. One question how to pop small trim over rear wheel well. Put trim piece in gap and pop it up
I made another video on how to remove that trim piece, you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/i5h66oVnEdk/w-d-xo.html
Hello, Can that little 15mm diameter grommet hole just above that big rubber hole be used also? Or is it possible to use and easy to fish wires?
Do you have a video of how you mounted the plugs to the rear light access???
Not sure if I filmed that part, I can check though. I basically cut a rectangle hole out of the plastic panel and screwed the panel with plugs in.
Nice install. But must stress to loom your wires through out.
What gauge wire did you pull from the engine bay to the trunk?
I put (2) 8 gauge wires through
@@Think. Thanks. Do you think 12 gauge will suffice?

thanks for the detailed video. I ran my wires on the other side but the passenger side looks like a cleaner run. What size wire did you use?
I used 8 gauge wires, determined by calculating the highest expected amp load and total length of the wire run
Do you have a link to the fuse panel you used?
The link is in the description under "Fuse block"
