This morning I decided to modify my rear curtain to roll up tighter.
This involved cutting out the lumpy parts at the bottom corners where the seat belt mounts are. I then sewed Velcro in so they could be reattached when wanted.
I want to have the rear curtain in the event I remove my soft slant back for something, and want to seal up. It now rolls up much tighter and stows out of the field of vision.
Here is the soft slant back thread for those interested https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showt...4-man-Soft-Slant-Back-Feedback-and-Discussion
And a few pics of the mods to the curtain

Bulldogger, you are terrific when it comes to sewing canvas. I just saw this thread and saw you made some soft half doors. I like them! Want to make me 2?

Thanks for the compliments!
I'm checking with my previous source for surplus door frames. I'll PM you once I can confirm I can get salvageable frames to start with, and we can take it from there.

Perhaps there will be several junk ones available at Aberdeen next month? I plan on going there on that Friday.

If you could come up with frames it wouldn’t be hard for me to put some skin on them.

Had time this week to work on my steering. Got all 4 tie rod ends replaced along with the drag link (center link) and both the pitman and idler arms. I made an effort to match the overall length of each rebuilt tie rod with its as-removed length and it seems to have worked since I took her up to 60mph with no wobble.
We will make plans to attend the Graves Mountain trail maintenance camp out over the 4th.
Shoutout to TheCaptan for helping with the arms and drag link install. We did his arms a few months ago and I decided then I’d use the same parts if I needed to do mine. Got the pitman and idler arms from David at Hummer Parts Guy. Very helpful fella.
A few poor pics of the results.
