I purchased 1/4” thick Aluminum and made rock solid half doors. No need for soft door frame support. I used an angle grinder but plasma cutter will be faster.
Things are bullet proof.
My friend Eric HummerH1 added tops to similar units to make full doors. Super robust.
Get the removal tool for swollen unit. For broken tips, pull the injector and blow air from glow plug hole. Or reach in with handy flexible grabber extractor.
On new injectors… liberal antisieze.
Rebuild the box. Seems like an epidemic recently.
I posted about this years ago, and worked on a workaround with the help of many others.

You may have a bad unit. They may have unplugged it to force the fan to stay on because it was not turning on or activating properly previously.
If you reconnect that, watch your engine temperature very carefully and take your vehicle for a drive at highway speed, being prepared to pull off and...
I posted… but many others contributed and/or were quoted.

The more I work on HMMWV, the happier I am that I’m able to make parts with angle grinders and plasma cutters.
Enough people make fake display 50-cals and munitions. You can whip that piece out in 10 minutes with a plasma cutter, a drill, some drill bits, and a grinder. Then just bend or make...
