On the AD trucks this is a bothersome area as well. My harness will exit in
this location on my custom truck. I'm adding a close out (on both sides)
because this is where my truck has rotted the most. The close out will be in
the simplest terms an inner wheel well. With a built-in tunnel for the wires
to get to the engine compartment. On your TF truck I don't see why a similar
design can't be applied. Helps your wires and your lower cowl.

The taillight wiring argument was the same one that he used
with me! :)
The only thing that bothered me about this particular
installation was the
fact that his left front tire would be throwing a whole lot
of water on the
point where it exited the cab. While the wiring under the
truck does get
some water thrown up from the road I don't think it would be
as much as
what this was going to see. Maybe on our trucks there is
more room in that
area and you can get the exit point to a place where the
wheel water
doesn't hit it but on his offbrand that wasn't an option.
He's not on the
road yet so it remains to be seen whether it will be a
problem or whether
it's me just being particular. :)
