Hey all,
Thought I'd share my solution for cabling the roof mount light bar. I battled for a while with the idea of running it down the aerial line, but it seemed a little fiddly and delicate. Rather, I opted to go through the roof rail foot. After popping off the cover (slide forward then up), I drilled a hole through the plastic - just enough the run the cable through.



Then, cringing, I drilled another hole down the foot, and through the roof. Note - a good coat of paint was then sprayed down the hole to prevent rust. Ran the cable through to check the hole was big enough.



Removed the cable, and drilled a hole in the cover of the foot, so the cable could run through. Then, pull it all back together. Done.



I'd like to note as well that my rail feet are cracked already, so I was pretty happy to drill through them. Also, the roof hole was done at my own risk - please have a think about your mounting before following me. Haha.

Nice and tidy mate, are there really any other options other than drilling through the roof?
And did you then pull out the headliner and run it down the A pillar?

that makes me moist!

Yep, under the roof lining and down behind the A pillar. Driving through the roof isn't the only option - you could run it down the existing aerial hole, or some of the guys on here have also run it with conduit through the back tailgate, or even down the windscreen through through the firewall.

Looks good. Another option I have heard of is if you have a snorkle to run the wiring behind that, and through to the engine bay?

Yeh that was another option, but I wasn't keen on running the cable all the way to the snorkel. It's quite a distance and would stand out a lot I think, due to location.
