Wiring Help Needed

Hello all. I'm new here and new to Sport Trac's. 2 weeks ago I picked up a 2010 limited and the modding bug has already got me. I want to add a roof basket and some off road lighting. I want to have 4 pods up front and a 6" light bar for left, right, and rear. Does anyone see any issue with the way I plan on wiring things? I want as few wires as possible going up through the roof. I'm going to concentrically twist the power wires into a harness so it will only be the 5 wire power harness and the ground wire coming up through a dual wire waterproof pass through.

Here is the specs on the wire I will be using. https://www.prowireusa.com/tefzel-amperage-chart

Also where is a good spot to go through the firewall? Should I just go through the main harness grommet? Not sure how much extra space there is in there.

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you the definitely help! Thanks again. It was easy to make. There's a website called smart draw. I screen capped the diagram and brought it into MS paint and saved it from there.

why do you want separate switches for each roof light? Why not put all roof lights on one switch? That could mean just one power wire going through the sheet metal, or maybe just put the forward lights on one switch and the side and reverse 6" bars on a second switch?

That is how I would do it
