I had real bad paint issues in the bed area of mine with lots of flaking. I sanded the area down, applied alodine, 2k primer, Lizard Skin Sound Deadener, and then Monstaliner that I had them color match to the 686 CARC. The Lizard Skin was easy to apply and really filled in any imperfections...
I have had good luck with the NAPA 6TL battery and it comes with a 30 month warranty. Price is around $175 if you have a coupon or wait for a special. I have seen them a little lower.

Close, but the one on the light is a 97b with the b being for the bayonet type mounting. The one above is for a regular threaded version. I can't seem to find the bayonet type mounts or much about the "97b" series.
I recently purchased a military dome light an now I am looking for the right cable. The dome light is one of the Eltam LED ones from an MRAP. The connector on the light is an Amphenol 97b-3102a-10sl-3p-9. Does anyone know the corresponding female connector or complete cable?
Good news, per Eberhard they do make a version that locks from the inside and outside. Its part # 13-250-SSL/R. Now the bad news, they do not have any in stock and the company they referred me to does not have any either. Waiting to hear back to see when they will have more in stock and a price.
I emailed Eberhard hoping that they are the ones that make the inside locking version for FMP as FMP seems to have a large markup on the regular locking ones.
Those don't fit the airlift bumper with the Rhino Tire carrier. I was hoping for one that would fit on the driver's side or the airlift bumper, even if it held only 1 can I would be fine. I have a M1025 so with the slantback I don't want it inside and want to find a place outside.
If you want green, then the link above to Jatonka has them in green, just not Tan or black. I also emailed weebee about tan or black and have heard nothing.
Does OD cloth offer colors other than OD like tan or black? I know Jatonka only offer OD green as I contacted them recently wanting a set in tan and was told no.
Got mine in too. I think for mounting I will Velcro them behind the front mounting plate on the radio tray. Once I get my layout 100% I might use 3M double sided commercial tape.
The docking station can go to 28 volts if I remember correctly. I bought this off of a recommendation of Ryanruck who should be along shortly to give a better explanation. Out the door for the laptop and docking station it was a little under $300 shipped.
I used auto body seam sealer that I got at the paint store. Once painted it matched. Its thick and I used a battery powered caulk gun to get it to flow out nicely.
I have a laptop mounted in mine. It is a General Dynamics Itronix GD8200 that came with a Gamber Johnson docking station and I mounted it on a Gamber Johnson Mongoose mount. Keyboard lights up for night time use and the screen is a touch screen.
Did you find the GEP 6.5 Turbo in the Houston area? When I was looking for any HMMWV engine I came up empty on finding an engine local or even a shop which is why I got a 6.5 NA GEP coming from Southern Metals and it should be here in a week or two.
