    Aftermarket speakers in LMTV/FMTV

    I'm using JL audio Marine stuff so I don't have to worry about dust or moisture. The amps are also sold in 24V. There is a simple bluetooth controller that is discreet as well.

    Alum. matching door latch handle and window crank (NOT military match)

    I'm ordering the stuff for power windows next week... still gathering all the parts to make it happen. I'll put something together if it works out. I want to do door locks as well but the latches are finicky and don't want to let go sometimes.

    Well, the tray will not allow for it. And you have to mess with the cables to get them to reach. Visit my website to see what it took for me to make it work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
