I'm exploring the options of how to pass wires through the firewall. In the pics below, I'm seeing a few options that I hadn't read about before. Thought I'd share pics and ask if others have these too, or if some are only accessible for my 97 SE?
Don't judge my rat's nest. I know; that's why I'm cleaning it up. Also, one pro tip before we begin: here is some advice from @NskLJ about ensuring your wires don't allow water into the tub.

1. Above and Left of Clutch.
3. Further Above #1 and #2.
4. Above and Right of Accelerator.
6. Passenger Side.

Edit: Sorry for the formatting. I tried hard, but the pics seem to reposition themselves after saving.

1. Above and Left of Clutch.
- Oval grommet.
- Occupied by factory lines, but I have shoved a few wires through.
- Circular plug.
- Looks like it could be removed, or drilled through.\
- See here for a part number and pic.
3. Further Above #1 and #2.
- Diagonal, diamond grommet.
- Unavailable for manual transmissions. This is the oil for the clutch rod.
4. Above and Right of Accelerator.
- Circular grommet.
- Allegedly a pain to replace, so drill instead.
- Already occupied in TJs with auto transmissions, I believe?
- Oval grommet.
- Hard to reach from inside, easy from outside.
- Easy to remove and replace.
6. Passenger Side.
- Non existent!
- Others have successfully drilled holes here and plugged them with this.
- I think it can be done right under the battery mount, but I imagine that the drilling would need to be done from the inside of the cab. @Chris , do you have any pics of yours to share?
