    wires to the roof

    How does one customarily run electric wires from the dash up to the top of the roll cage? I'm preparing to add a dome light and some rear work lights on top and don't want a bunch of exposed wires strapped to the roll bar. I found a drain hole in the bottom of each front leg of the cage. Am contemplating drilling a small hole in the tube inside one of the upper welded gussets, and snaking the wires through the roll bar front tube. Anybody have a better idea?

    thanks, scoobieguy,
    I didn't see the factory hole but that beats drilling through the powdercoat. Looks like the standard route is through the open end of the rear rollbar tube.

    My dealer was too lazy to separate the OPS to run the wiring through the OPS. It does not bother me.
