Wire harness Routing?

I am at the point of running wires on my 1985 Scrambler. Can someone provide some advice on where to run the wire harness to the rear? i am wondering if it makes sense to run it inside the tub, if so where. i am also wondering how guys have run it under the tub. i did not have a harness when I started so I am working from complete scratch on this project.
 
It goes through the little 1" hole outboard of the driver's seat. Then there's a plastic channel which screws into the driver's rear wheel well to protect it from road debris on its way back to the rear lights.
 
So I see the hole on the outboard side. Would you have a photo of the plastic channel. I am assuming that is something else I will need to buy.
 
I was always been puzzled by why they mounted it upside- down rather than rightside-up....

Come on now ,the screws on this bit of an afterthought would end up in the bed of the 8 if it was rightside up and the harness would probably fall out as well...

My theory is that it still would have the "shelf" to lie on if the channel opened up.
(Basing this on conduit clamps (IMO) should be under the conduit on horizontal runs vs above.) :shrug:
 
Your damed if you do, damed if you don't. Crap will collect in it either way.
