M1008 Window and Door Seal Kit
AM-Autoparts is a good supplier of different items. I have bought a lot of base components for the CUCV's from them and they are reliable, quality parts and stand behind the products.
This is the seal kit. It is cheaper direct then on...
Took the m1008 out for highway road test with the new vent seal. Omg the driver side door vent window was silent, no whooose, whistle. Now the passenger side was howling so that is next. At this point at 60 mph I can almost have a normal conversation

I use the seal kits from am-auto parts. They are good. It fit well but takes a bit of finagling on the vent seal.
This is a good video series

So I broke my side vent window on drivers side. Decided it was time to tackle putting a vent seal in.

I have 2 military 24 volt spot lights that are magnetic. Also some 24 volt backup lights. I think I will tap if the 24 volt bus with a relay and hook up an aviation type plug in the back for the spots and continue on for additional backup lights

Sorry my phone messes up things, this is for the m1008. I was looking at tonight and thinking of mounting on the top of the bed an led light bar. Then I like the idea of rear bumper mounts below
Would mount on front of the bed up top small leds on each side or a small 12" bar?

Pointers on sealing the mounting holes other than silicon and or orings.
