Any recommendations on how to get power directly from the battery and run all the way at the rear? Any entry point if I run it outside and go in underside? Or better to run through the firewall and back to the rear... ?

I'm wanting to run 10 gauge wire suitable for a 500watt inverter I'm putting in. Will be fused up at the battery.

Thanks

P.S. Where exactly are the 'factory ground points' under the rear seats?

i ran the wire thru the stok hole for the clutch cause its an auto matic, or youcould run it through the big rubber grommeton the right firewall, or since its a 10 guage u can run the wire thru the drivers fender thru the lil plastic guard then into the stock harness were the wires run thru from the door, then your in the cab already n run em all under the plastic moldings n your all good

the wire harness is the same for the 08 as the 07, I put my ground on the bolt in the back where the silver tie down hook is, It works well... as far as a power wire I would not run it on the outside of the vehicle..
