Seems I do have these pieces as well

I’m working on an 1151 at the moment but I haven’t actually checked those corners, are they usually stripped out and leak? Looks like something you can remedy with some sheet metal, rivets, and silicone though Got me thinking so I’ll take a look tomorrow heh

That looks fantastic, how many coats do you plan on putting on the doors? Read somewhere that the fiberglass absorbs some point and slightly more coating on the doors may be better? Not sure how true it is. I’m planning on painting the whole truck with green 383 Rapco and then coming back with...

I second this, only use nylon lock nuts unless you want things falling apart from how much these trucks shake lol

Happy to help, if anyone wants any specific pictures of how I did something lemme know :P

Yep I went to ace hardware and got a ton of hardware for it all, get a bunch of assorted sizes of bolts and washers to make life easier. Main size I used for 1/4” bolts for the hinge mounts to the A and B pillars. 5/16 for the B pillar striker, and 1/4 for the C pillar strikers

I had the same opinion at first but every humvee is so different that it does actually make sense to have to drill them out yourself. If not, would be a pain to line everything up I’d think. Attached a few photos of my striker setup, lemme know if you’ve got any questions, I provided some...

Yep same thing here, push on the door with the opposite hand when you pull on the paddle latch. Had a buddy bend my front right passenger paddle latch pivot points due to this, that being said, west Kentucky is shipping me a new latch free of charge. Good service but product could be a bit...

Oh you painted the truck using their rattle cans? Was it practical/easy enough? I have some reservations against rattle cans to paint a vehicle but if it works well then I wouldn't mind giving it a go, I know my finger gets tired holding the cans usually :P I was planning on getting some form...

So on the topic of paint, what have y'all decided on what you want to do for the doors/truck in general? I'm stuck between doing: 1: Rapco 383 Green, Rapco, 383 Brown, Rapco 911 Flat Black 2: Behr Paint (Haven't dug up what the paint codes would be for the standard woodland camo) The things...

Did a rain test today on the doors, no leaks coming from them really, had it outside all day with light rain. They don’t all form a complete seal on the top part but the little rain ledge on my roof keeps water away there. Only real leaks I saw were from my turret hatch, nothing major just have...

Actually yes I did notice that. My general observations are that it was solid around the edges but the hole that goes closer to the center was hollow. It could be just mine but that’s what I noticed. didn’t seem to affect anything, I just made sure not to overtorque the ones with the hollow hole...

Let us know if you come across any weird imperfections on yours. Just curious to see how consistent they are across batches.

Alrighty here we go, as promised, plenty of pics attached. I can take more pictures of specific things if anyone is interested. They came in on Monday, I had them all mounted up and good to go within about 6 hours. For anyone just browsing through this thread quickly, these are the West...

Oh I'm referring to their signature series, they've got 2 types. The B-Spec doors with the RV sliding windows are much more affordable at about half the price (~2500). The signature series with the original look with slide-down window are ~5000...

I must say that at this point I've accepted the fact that the costs for any set of doors are going to be ridiculous. I had the option to buy some semi-ratty looking X-doors for the same price a while back, but I passed on them as I figured it'll be easier to deal with clean/fresh doors that I...

Fantastic, can get some better info out there for the masses :p Mine supposedly arrive tomorrow, not sure how accurate that is but I shall see. EDIT: New delivery date is Monday

I'm currently waiting on a set of west kentucky fiberglass doors, will post plenty of pics here for the curious once they arrive.
