    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Passenger side all finished up! For the price and the service, the West Kentucky doors worked great.

    Indiana HMMWV owners?

    Hagerty is probably the cheapest. I have 4 truck on my policy and pay 800 a year.

    Very easy to get insurance and tags. I buy direct from govplanet. I've never dealt with streetlegalexports. If your looking for a complete HMMWV, reach out to West kentucky Surplus or Retiredwarhorses on here.

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    My truck came with a piece of aluminum flashing riveted to the corner. I can get pics later, taking a break from paint fumes. While waiting on replacement door from West Kentucky, I'm finishing the armor piece for the slant back.

    Thank you! The latest gun I bought is a harbor freight spectrum. Uses 9cfm at 28 psi. I use an atlas copco xas185 which is overkill at 185cfm. It's a diesel pull behind compressor.

    Thanks! I put 3 coats on the doors. My shop is heated at 74 degrees plus I have a few big fans that run so the dry time is shortened. I used my HVLP gun. Lately the spray cans from Rapco have had an issue with squirting out large dots of paint.

    I sanded with 600 scotch Brite pad. Used some boat fiberglass primer and just shot it with rapco 383. They are not completely smooth. They look just like any military x door I've seen at least in pictures.

    They are nice looking doors. And actually very solid and I haven't had any issues with the latches.

    At 4k you think they would of looked it over before they sent. There is only one company in Canada I guess that is making these doors.

    This is more than careless with the rivet gun. This is a huge void of fiberglass missing. They are replacing. Adam is the man! Good customer service!

    No box damage whatsoever so this had to have been seen when they wrapped it. The fiberglass is pretty thick actually.

    What a bummer just emailed West Kentucky surplus about a crack in the back door. Hopefully I get this replaced, this sets back my painting.

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Just had my West Kentucky surplus doors delivered last Friday. I'm a little disappointed that I have to actually drill the hinges out. U think for 4k it would of already been done. Also no installation instructions for door strikers.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    New Truck Lite Led headlights.

    Slantback hatch gasket question.

    The top of the gasket is supposed to be under the top bar. That's how it seals.. just figured it out!
