Almost lost control of it on a highway today because of deep puddles and my speed. You really have to crank on the steering wheel to make it roll in the direction you want it to once the water grabs your tires.

I'm attempting to run 5 12ga wires and a cb antenna cable under the headliner an through the roof. For anyone who has done this or anything similar I need ideas on making it sealed so water doesn't leak through. Any advice or do's and don't's will be very helpful!

Other than the antenna wire, I have 4 hot and 1 ground goin to my roof because I have 4 different sets of lights going up there. So ya, I do have to go through the roof for the install. I currently have my (4) forward facing lights and my (2) reverse facing lights. And I'm still going to install a set (2) of lights on each side. So that's what the wires are for if anybody was wondering. My xj is DD so I like my installs to be nice and clean so by the time im done running these wires it should not be seen unless your trying to see it.

And btw I decided to do grommets and silicone but I'm going to make a sleeve out of electrical tape tightly around the base of the grommet and 3-4 inches up the wire go further help keep the water out
