the most direct route is to drill a hole in the roof.

not a fun thought.

Any work around ideas that make drilling unecessary?

I don't get it, they say this:
"We ran one pigtail through the roof into the cab"
does that mean they drilled? Then what do the quick connect harnesses do?

Re: wire up a light bar

the quick disconnect makes it so you can just unhook a few connectors to disconnect the lights(electrically speaking). once that is done, you can easily remove the whole basket/light bar and remount it in a few minutes w/o unhooking stuff.
i believe they drilled into the roof underneath the roof racks to hide the hole and wires as much as possible
