I am looking at running wires from the Battery and Upfitter AUX location to the rear bumper (for lights I installed under the bumper) in the engine compartment inside Liquid Tight flexible conduit (1/2") secured to/above the frame rails to keep them up out of the way.
If I do this I'll likely branch a line off and run it up inside the Bed as I want to install a power panel (a plastic box with outlets, etc. installed in the cover) with a Blue Sea Systems power distribution block along with a couple of 12v outlets, a dual USB charger outlet, a 12v digital volt meter, and a switch or two.
Liquid Tight flexible conduit example:
Conduit connectors - screws into Liquid Tight and the threaded end would be secured to a plastic box:
Junction Box - I'll use the cover for the 12v and USB outlets and the switches:
Digital Volt meter:
Lots of panel mount products here: https://powerwerx.com/panel-mounts
Inside will be the wiring and the Blue Sea Systems panel:

I'll likely use this type of Blue Sea Systems Fuse Block (probably this 6 circuit unit) which I'll put inside the plastic box:
I'll have to run a hot and ground to it as it has a negative bus.
The cover of the box will kind of look like this (but I won't use Powerwerx's black panel - I'll just drill the holes in the plastic box's cover:
I've done this before on my Jeep and really liked it a lot.
Powerwerx has numerous electrical products (as shown above) and they also sell the Blue Sea Systems line of products - a great product line. And they're local here in SoCal: https://powerwerx.com/dc-power-products
I'm also looking at if I need a switch panel to control anything in the bed remotely. I don't think so but I can either make my own or buy one. I do like the bluetooth enabled switch panels as you can control your accessories with your smart phone.
