Awesome, thanks man. Let me ask you one question about something you say in your post when talkin about those O-ring connectors for the grounds - "Use one per each wire, ground them to a clean exposed metal bolt or self tapping screw. ensure NOT to drill a self-tapper through anything that may be on the other side of the metal." - the part about "NOT drilling a self tapper through anything that may be on the other side of the metal"... what metal are you talkin about here... sorry i just have no idea what you mean here! 
I am a newbie at all this!
Thanks again,
Marko

Here's where I exited the wire from the cab to the frame rail. ( the plastic tab for the sill plate had broke off so it doesn't matter that the wire goes through since there's no more tab going through it)

Let me throw a quick one out there, if I use these two lights for back up lights (they look the same as the one in the pics on this thread), do you think a 15amp fuse for both would be appropriate? If each light is 55watts at around 12v at a minimum that would be about a draw of 9-10 amps, right?

Haha thanks man! I will definitely get a few extra in line fuses too...
If you look at that picture of the kit you can actually see the in-line fuse with the red wire. It comes with a 15amp fuse I think. I bought extras just incase I blew it while running wires... And I did, so glad I had some extras! I made a bone head mistake and had some wires touch after I had it hooked to the battery. So at least I know it worked and blew the fuse and not anything else!

No problem, that's my aim.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Somehow I understand electrical pretty well. If you've got a complicated issue I may be able to simplify and explanation.
It's all pretty simple. DC Electricity just goes in loops. It's a matter of what devices are used where, to open and close the loop.
