trying to get some ideas on were to run the light wiring for the light bar on the top of the cab. any suggetstions or pics would be helpful.

On my old Blazer we built an overhead console that housed my light switches and a CB radio. The wires came in through a hole on the roof right into the console. I think we just ran the power up the pillar.

I still have my old light rack and lights so I will be putting them on my new Blazer soon. I think I will be mounting all the switches onto a newer Suburban overhead console. I am going to take the AC controls off of it, put on a metal plate, and mount the switches there.

My 86 Blazer had wires going down the passenger A pillar and dissapearing inside the door seals IIRC. I didn't like it. If I could figure out a way to run the wiring like the dome light is, I'd cut a hole in the roof.

I have one of these http://www.carr.com/light-bars/deluxe-rota.html. I will probably be doing the same thing I did with my last Blazer, drill a hole in the roof of the cab, rubber grommet and silicone.

I like the bar itself. I've thought of installing a permanent canon plug on the roof that's water proof, and hooking the wiring to it.

lol, I thought it was a good one. One good thing on working on military vehicles for years, canon plugs, they're everywhere on the newer ones.
