I had to drill one hole thru the cross brace that runs where the deck meets the floor to put wires thru. After that just ran them under the bench storage. With foam out of the floor it's all open.

I assume you went beneath the floor with the wires. Did you have to add any braces under the front deck? Do you have any pics of under the deck after you removed the foam? I'm kinda curious what I'm up against when I cut mine.

From what I understood when askin questions before doing mine, the foam in the front deck is the "braceing" and that aluminum is very thin. So if you pull it out you would have to put in braceing or thicker aluminum for the deck. Was also told its a huge pain in the ass..thats why I haven't done mine yet, may do it eventually to make more storage under the deck.

There is bracing under the front deck. Where it bends to go to the floor it's a 2x2 square tube. Then another just up from there in front of seat pedestal. Then another bout 18 inches further towards front. It supports me just fine. I'm about 200 lbs. there is no bracing in the rear pods.

Here's a pic. It's the best I could get. It's a tight area.

And yes. I ran all wires beneath the floors.

Thanks for the info. I think i can hear the bracing as I knock my knuckles across the deck. If there's none in there I'll beef it up.
