If you come in this way and pass under the center console, is there a route to back under the rear seats from there? Or is this area fed from the sides or above?

I guess there's one last options, mount a second battery somewhere in the rear on an isolator and drive the inverter from that one. This is just more that I was hoping to bite off at the moment. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>If you come in through the firewall you would try to go underneath the driver's side sill to the back. You wouldn't go to the center and then back.

The only problem, and I am not even sure if it's a problem because I haven't thought about #2 wire running through there, is the wire fitting underneath the sill plate.

The remote mount winch from Warn has a kit that runs a "plugin" to the back of the truck. It's run along the framerail but the wires are coated in a thicker durable cover. It might be that it's best and easier and safer to put a heavy continuous duty solenoid inside the engine bay that is switched from inside the cabin. Run your heavy cable from that solenoid down along the frame like the winch leads are run and then come up into the cabin from the bottom. You can switch it from the driver's seat so that the cable won't be hot when you are not using the inverter or compressor.

Again, this is what I WAS planning on doing because I was going to build a custom drawer that filled up the back of the truck and had a void underneath the drawer itself, but was told something about the noise absorbed from the cables on such a long run screwing with the electronics on the inverter. I haven't gotten to the point of installing anything yet, so I haven't researched that comment at all, but I was warned of that.
