First, your registered here as a PA resident, and asking a nefarious question to circumvent a Maryland law. You've been told by Maryland officials the inspection station to go to, but yet you ask SS members how to "get past" the inspection. Respectfully, We have enough issues with Humvee's here...
Boys you're on thin ice with this subject. Could the Mods please remind those that keep delving into this subject and delete this thread. Tired of hearing about it.
Bravojmc, If you've ever had to re-furbish the Armored X-doors you'll find out that the bottom weather strip channels are hammered together so tight that the rubber weather strip is impossible to pull out.This is caused by taking the doors off and dropping them on the bottoms. You'll have to cut...
NJP, If you'll PM me with an email, I can send you a few pics of the tool I use and how I pry the channel apart. Feel free to post my pics if you like.

Have replaced many door weather strips on armored doors. They tend to get hammered the most because of the weight of the doors crush the aluminum channel, making it impossible to remove the rubber strip. The tool I've found to work best is a bottle opener with a piece of 1/4" key stock inserted...
As 86humv said, your grill guard is not mounted correctly. I could take that off and be gone in 30 seconds. Bottom should be bolted and with castle nuts w/cotter pins. Also helps with the rubber cushions keeping it from rattling around.
RWH, I'm with you on the Slants, they suck to drive with no rear visibility and now you have really no usable space in the back. Plus, you better have A/C....you can lead them to water, ya just cant makem' drink!
Lionel, FYI.... I remove all the hardware, window tracks and all, save these items. I use 1-3'4" aluminum angle in place of the window tracks to stiffen the door and re-attach the latch linkage to. You can either bend a cap to cover the top or use a pair of aluminum angles with a 1/4" filler...
Do a search on this site. That subject has been rode hard and worn out. You might even find it quite humorous on some creative ways to transport Humvee's.
Point being, can we cease with the trash taking of the Humvee's. This tread has went south, as the Mod said "stay on subject". You want to trash talk start a new thread.
