Left or right side there are several already there.

The only one I can find is the huge "reverse torx" Nut that hols the seat bracket, but I don't have a wrench to work on it, all the other seat bolts won't allow enough amps to pass through.

This does not help too much, can you be more specific?

the huge torx nut you need a deep socket... the torx for the seat belt top bracket behind the flip down plastic is size 45

just clear some paint from under the flap that comes up in the rear, drill a hole and bolt the ground in... all i did was clear paint and used 3 self taping screws.

Searched for one forever last night. Flip the back seats forward. I used the large bolt in the middle of the seats.

even if you use the bolt you should still remove a little paint to get a little more metal to metal contact to create a good ground.

I just sanded down an area under the carpet and drilled a hole and sunk a bolt in, works fine.

I used the one next to the rear tail lights. Very easy to get to.

I believe I grounded my trailer lights behind the paneling on the passenger side. Works out great.
