The MWO doesn’t remove the battery box…. Just adds the stiffener for the battery box cover and additional angled bracket on the back to hold it down. And then remove old drivers base, add new brackets and backing plates.

I gave him the part number for the rails that are used in the seat MWO. It looks like he’s adding that seat base in place of the battery box after relocating the batteries.

Electronic speedo install notes I made a while back. I built the harness copied from an OEM but have no details about how it’s “supposed” to be routed. The wire numbers are correct and matched my truck. I didn’t have the second splitter required because I ran out of connectors so I didn’t...
Here’s the tach installation info. Not easy to follow because it’s a crap scan from crap drawings, but it calls out circuit numbers and locations.

The 27M and 27N are tied to the fuel gauge (power) and then to the tach harness. That’s the only place I’ve found those numbers mentioned was doing tach installs.

Wire goes through the rubber and into the pin, I’ve never used the washer on the “male” connectors, the gets crimped. The wire going through the rubber connector is tight, that’s normal for all of these type connectors. If it doesn’t fit then they’re either wrong gauge (14 ga is much more...
X doors leak and rattle more than soft doors. If you take the time to fit them properly and work on seals and rattle reduction, they’re a little better.
My soft doors sealed well and were quiet, I moved to X doors because I added a helmet top and they fit better.
If you’re expecting a night...

I had emailed them before, same email, but now they respond very quickly with a quote and the order...
It’s possible they might be able to be ordered OEM. Finally got an email from McClarin Plastics with a number to call. If it works I’ll pass it along…

Those are almost exactly what the “factory” ones are supposed to be (Eberhard 770 series). Where did you find them for sale?

The “retainer” aka “the ring in the pic Action posted” can be purchased at Kascar around $15ea. I think they’re meant to be welded in place.
I’ve looked into replacing the arms as well but they’re pricey (like all HMMWV stuff).
