Thanks. I should have searched first. Looks like a giant neodymium magnet does the trick. Now to find one the right size.

Got stuck at a censored stop light this morning. Is there a simple way to make the vehicle trip the sensors? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

For simplicity of fabrication door panels will likely be plywood with foam and fabric or vinyl skin. Make door pull out of solid wood (easy to sculpt). Probably cover fasteners with cosmetic plastic caps or paint faces to match door trim. Find cosmetic aftermarket door handle and window crank.

That sounds ultra rugged. I guess you will be putting in much larger door hinges too. :)

I'm doing the same thing. The project of fabrication won't start in earnest for a bit so I'm looking to have spare parts around to at least get everything the same fastener and washer. I'll probably bet getting into the dash soon enough to fix some bad wiring and add outlets and such. :) If you...

that sounds perfect. Any idea what length?

The Mechanical Engineer at work was nice enough to help. The fastener is a M4 which makes it easy to search.

wow that thing looks mil spec and indestructible for sure.

That sounds worth the wait.

ok I took another look. I can get Zinc and Stainless versions. Also looked. You can epoxy paint stainless but you need to abrade them first. I do have a small paint booth in my garage and a sand blaster so I could make a batch to match the interior color.

could you post any photos of that setup or raw lights?

I like the light but I think it's a bit too bright. Maybe something with a more warm (yellow) tone and dimmable would be great.

Is there a door switch option or do we adapt one from another vehicle?

Still very new to the LMTV and discovering things every day. What kind of interior dome light or courtesy lights have you added to your vehicles to make them easier to use at night?

We have a local fastener company called Olander which has amazing selection. I have paired it down to machine screws with a washer built in. I will probably go with torx because I think it fits this application and I have torx drivers. Now I just need the length...

Someone reached out via PM. I have been told the rods in the doors are identical or mirror on either side. I'm probably going to disassemble the working door to get and copy the working rod unless I can find a place to source the original hardware.

Looking at my shabby photos it looks like that part broke and someone glued it all back together. Did you end up making stronger ones?

It looks like my truck was reassembled with random fasteners in the dash and doors. Has anyone found a good bolt with a captive washer or a large head? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Any idea what the blue hose is? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Ok here is what my door parts currently look like. Sorry it's hard to photograph. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
