    Any metal fab shop can get the 1/4" aluminum. I paid $340 for metal plus cut.

    It was 45 3/4 I believe.

    Yes, it goes above the standard roof and has about 1/4" between plate and armor overlay. I can get you a better picture.

    I've seen these for sale but never one in use.

    Interior view of doors. I need to do a deep cleaning inside now.

    Thank you! Just a few odds and ends. Pain in the butt trying to find the rear insulation in green. Drivers side has been discontinued by AM General and replaced with black. All new insulation will be black.

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

    Rear door corner pieces.

    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.

    Half way done with door install.

    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.
