Hi Volks,
    I like running wires through the frame member. There are holes all along
it with some in the engine compartment and some near the spare tire.  I have
found about 5 #18 wires  and  then a flat  50 wire scsi cable can move
enough data back and forth. Most gauges work fine on the flat cable wiring.
Circuit specialists at   cir.com has good prices on flat cables, it comes in
20 - 60 conductor.
