through the firewall i took my pocket knife and cut a slit into the hood latch cable and ran it into the cab that way... There are a ton of pre existing grommets but you can always drill lol

Believe it or not, XJs were made for like 16 years and the firewalls aren't all the same. What year is your XJ?

Well, I guess if you consider some have holes in certain places and others don't then yeah, minor differences

My '89 doesn't have that grommet nor the hole it fills so... Year does matter.
