I purchased the Thule Xsporster Rear bed rack for my Gen2 and just installed a 240W Curved LED lightbar from SuperbrightLEDs.com

I hang my lightbar in the rear under my rack so I can haul building materials on top of the rack as well.

I Used insulated speaker cable with 12 AWG stranded conductor cable
Cable was run down firewall from the engine bay, pass side
Cable enters the frame tube behind front pass fender well
Cable runs to rear of truck in frame tube
Cable exits frame tube in pass side rear fender well
Cable travels under bed accross to driver side
I drilled an access hole into the front bot corbner of bed behind the bedliner
Cable exits bedliner just at top corner of bed rail
Cable has waterproff diconnect provided by SBLEDs (came with light bar)
Power is taken from AUX upfitter switch 1 wire in engine bay
GND for cable run is firewall mounted GND stud where other OEM ground is located
