Bed to Tunnel-Cab pass through possibility

[AlfredoA]

Has anyone taken a look at if a pass through from the R1T truck bed to the gear tunnel/cab is possible?

Removing the bed end panel, which is just over 48” wide and held in place by 8 bolts, washers, cap bases and covers. The top four screw directly into the power tonneau cover box and the bottom 4 into the steel bed wall/ back of the gear tunnel. This lower steel panel is part of the cab enclosure so any opening could result in water, dust and noise intrusion into the cab. Also, as part of the R1T’s rigidly mounted structural body an opening would have an impact on the torsional rigidity of the cab and truck.

I own a couple welders and a plasma cutter. Bring your truck on over to my place and we'll find out.

You answered your own question with your second paragraph.

I think you could pass thru a few wires. There is a sealed hole on each side shown here. A little silicon after you pull the wire thru should prevent any water intrusion.

I wonder what will be done with the space taken up by the tonneau storage box in trucks with manual tonneaus. Could be a nice place to store tools.

Last I heard it was just going to be sealed off and empty.

There's some actual extra grommets that go through the wall below the bed.

That would be a real shame.

Perfect for smuggling, I guess.
