Howdy there folks,

I’m aiming to re do some accessory switch wiring that I did when I was younger and less wise. The aim is to use the vertical panel I made behind the passenger to be a 12v panel that I can easily see and maintain etc. I use my Jeep for exploring the deserts and as such have a few gadgets and lights that I’d like to be able to easily troubleshoot, while leaving room for improvement once my wallet allows. I have an idea of someday running a second battery and might do that behind the facing panel where I can install a box, but I haven't been convinced yet if that's a good or bad idea.

Long story short, i'm adding a Blue Sea fuse block and got to thinking about the best way to run power to it. I bought a set of through body connectors, but would it be better to just pull the thick cable through the firewall, or go under then through the tub? Trying to do it once and do it right and would appreciate some educated opinions.
