Finished sewing a new soft slant back to replace my old one made out of ballistic nylon. Ballistic is NOT a good fabric for large items like this bc it changes size greatly due to heat/cold, rain and sunlight. Can be very tricky to get on and off. And it didn't weather very well overall. This...

Some people take time off to go to the spa, resorts or the beach.... I never understood them either. BDGR

If you discover a way for me to view and copy the setting from mine, I'm happy to do so. BDGR

Call Jeff Symansky at Tactical Truck in Marshall Virginia. He's on the site. He did mine and I never had any trouble. BDGR

They make them in batches and with some ireegularity in terms of schedule. I found it was best to call periodically and ask when they might have another production run. They tend to sell out fast, but once I had a sort of phone relationship with the employee on the other end I knew when to hit...

I had trailworthy fab's beadlocks and Treadwright Guard Dog remanufactured tires on my M998 for three years and have not had any issues at all. I concede I haven't done much off road and don't drive weekly, but I still am pleased overall and cannot find fault with either product. BDGR

William Welch of Blue Ox Tops on Facebook has some great products, including bikini tops. In fact, I can't beat his price for a bikini top (and I don't yet have a good design anyway). WW and I have been in contact and have agreed not to compete. He's going to send requests for soft slant back...

I just discovered dustless sandblasting too and am thinking of using it to blast my HMMWV CARC off. BDGR

We have many members with various parts if you post a Want to Buy note, and there are sites like SECO and Kascar that are mentioned and used frequently. The SS member 'Country' on here runs Eastern Surplus and has many parts, and vehicles. Outside of those, Black Dog Customs and Midwest Military...

Check the regs of the facility, but in my experience they don't allow maintenance, and even if the truck runs many state that it MUST be towed or trailered off the grounds. Your mileage may vary. Congratulations, and welcome to the group! BDGR

I appreciate you sharing this idea Sjoconnor, and thanks to others who have posted or reached out via message. If you had a double strip of velcro sewn in just like on the rear of the soft top it would be relatively water resistant. We could probably make it work well enough. I could do that...

Getting there, need to lengthen the bed cover to let the curtain sit more vertically. BDGR

At most I figure on coming 4” down the side. There is nothing below the row of footmen along the top edge to attach to. I find most folks don’t want to modify their vehicle to use my products, so I stay within the bounds of stock setup. That said, when I begin offering these if you want...

I have thought about a toolbox set into the side of the fender (wheelhouse) as well. Too many projects ahead of it. BDGR

Not sure what you mean by the "wheelhouses" CharlieB. Please clarify. I am interested in a design that people want to buy, so your inputs are valuable. BDGR

I'll keep you posted sjoconnor. Will be a few days or weeks to get the design ready. BDGR

Hello all! I’m glad to say I’m back at my sewing table. During my hiatus I acquired a few hundred yards of milspec pvc vinyl and am learning how to sew it. Some time ago someone asked me if I could make a flat bed cover but I was stumped by how to join it with the curtain. I’ve since learned...

Additionally, one of those wires is 24V+ all the time regardless of the status of the ignition. If you cut it you may see sparks. I second the recommendation to remove it carefully. You will find a buyer in due course for that cabling. Welcome to the forum, Bulldogger

Doing a Trans TC swap? I'm dong that soon. BDGR

Has a friend whose GF armor-all'd his motorcycle seat, ostensibly to show she cared and wanted to share in his pursuits... The bike went out from under him lickety split!
