Peeps are getting whole HMMWVs for 7-10k. Spending 20% on spare tire seems expensive. Not excessive, just expensive.

If you don't care about the fabric, someone should be able to ship door with shipping label slapped onto the door itself, sort of like they ship tires.
That should save few bucks.

Guys, like most of yours, my M998 didn't come with a rear bumper nor a spare tire.
I know that I can get a airlift bumper and rino tire carrier, but at a going rate of ~$1,500 for the set, that seems like a lot of coin for a piece of metal, few brackets and a modified load binder.
I get that...
Thanks all for the great responses and ideas.
I will buy the HF awl and try few small repairs.
Driver door has cracked window so that one will be easier to just replace.
Passenger is hazed over and has the frame marks (from when it's folded down). I'm ordering Meguiar's G12310 PlastX Clear...
Thanks.
I Googled it just now for Albuquerque, but came up with nothing.
I will call 2 jeep accessory shops we have in town and ask if they know of someone.
I'll also call RV and boat places and see if that helps out.

Then it maybe my backwards state :-(
I'll keep calling/searching.
I called awning places thinking that they would have deep throat machines when stitching around tubular support.
I also reached out to furniture upholstery shops (car seats, couches, etc.).
Everyone charges $75/hr and everyone...
I have green camo setup.
2 out of 4 doors need window replaced/repaired.
All 4 doors need zipper stitching repaired.
I'm getting local quotes of 1 to 1.5 hours per door (@ $75/hr) just for stitching and they're not really sure if the neck of sawing machine can even go over the 'frame'/gasket of...
As to Jeff's recommendation -- thank you. I saw the video few weeks ago, but at over $300 per cushion, it's too rich for my blood.
At this price I might as well look into upgrading the seats all together.
Since the fabric is in great condition and it's just the padding that needed replacement, I went to local Jo-Ann Fabric craft store and bought 3" foam.
Cut it to size, cut outside stitching on the back of the seat, stuffed the foam and had wife resaw it.
It looks great and only time will tell if...
Guys, what's the item called? I searched fleabay from "MRAP map light" , dome light and few others and I'm not coming up with anything.
There is a chance that there aren't any for sale now...
Question; so in this configuration is the low level blue-ish light on during normal operations (I presume except during blackout mode) and the bright white light comes on with the unit mounted switch?
Would that work for the front as well as rear seats?
What about access to the storage areas under the rear seats as well as the battery box under the front passenger seat?
