no idea. I installed the same 200a with the N3135 and did not connect the ground (per the instructions). Everything worked fine - and I later hooked up a separate 12v supply for accessories and all worked fine. I would disconnect it and check again.

that’s an N3135 Regulator. You DO NOT hook up the 14v stud to ground with that regulator.

Don't you guys ever watch movies? Lol. From, a Few Good Men.

I made a set of half doors for my HMMWV out of 1/4" 6061 - used hard door hinges and some paddle latches - see here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170089-Thinking-about-making-some-half-doors

I ran a positive and ground (neg) from the rear battery to a small fuse panel. Everything grounded back to the 12v battery . . . .

My only suggestion is to do some mockups with wood or heavy cardboard. The rest is relatively easy.

I finally got around to adding c-channel to the doors and getting them repainted. Real happy with how they came out.

Well - I finally got around to picking up some 1/4" plate aluminum and hardware - and made the 1/2 doors. They work really well - just need to add some c-channel for an arm rest and repaint the camo pattern on that back door 😬

door looks great 86humv. What material did you use for the doors? 1/4" 6061?

Yes - the paddle latch is spring loaded. There is no movement whatsoever when it's closed. Im' essentially reproducing what I've seen some aftermarket vendors do with 1/2 doors. Here . . .

Am I sure? No. The paddle latch is stout - it overlaps the wire striker plenty. Might the wire start to bend? Maybe - although the doors won't weigh a whole lot more than the soft doors. That's why I said I was thinking about fabricating a solid latch/striker for the dead latch to catch...

The paddle latch handle has a dead latch that closes on the soft door latch. I'm thinking about fabricating an aluminum latch - but it closes really well as-is. We'll see once I cut and install the aluminum doors.

Found a set of hard door hinges and picked up some door handles and some trim lock seal - and fabbed it all up to fit. I'm going to pick up some 1/4" 6061 and get it cut and installed on all 4 doors. Game on.

After looking at some of the aftermarket half doors - and seeing the prices . . . I'm thinking about making my own. Anyone know if the stock 1/2 doors are 1/4" 6061? I decided to mock some up out of 1/4" ply just to see what the might look like. I kind of like them - and want to get some...
