What Is This?


If this is nothing, I’d like to use it to drill a hole for future spot beams up front.
Thanks.

Good idea, but Rigid 360s come with a harness and I’d like to use it, if I can.
Thanks for the quick response.

I want to say this is the same hole/grommet I used to run a bunch of wire, clutch line, etc. through on mine when I did my swap. I just cut a slit through the middle and started shoving wires through. Grommet stayed in place.

Not to hijack - but how does one find the upfitter wires? I'd like to wire up a few things like a dashcam and what not and this is new information to me...

Look under the hood and you'll see 4 wires that seem like they were cut off near the firewall on the driverside. Then look up under the dash.

Mine had 5, differing colors, coming out sort of by the brake booster, just dangling loose.

They are there so you don't have to bore a hole through the firewall, until you run out of them at least.

Can drive 5 things assuming you use the body/chassis for ground on both sides.
