[seano11]

As I stated in the title I'm looking for instructions on how to installed the bows and cargo cover on my m813

 

[emmado22]

Its covered in the -10 TM for the 800 series.

You should have this and keep it in the truck. http://test.steelsoldiers.com/upload/809/TM9-2320-260-10.pdf
The edition I have tells all about installing the bed cover and related supports.

 

[seano11]

Is there anything on how to install the troop seats ?

 

[steelandcanvas]

Legs on the troopseats go in the holes in the bed.

 

[emmado22]

Information Manual

As posted above, your friendly -10 manual is a fine read. Found your bows and tarp info on page 2-216 onward.

It shows you how to install and out stall them.

Scan through your Not so Tech manuals then check through the M135 manuals at MilitaryTrucks.ca - Welcome! .

What a difference a few years made on the "Information Required Before Operating" IRBO manuals. You have it easy.

Can you post pics of how it's done......when you're done?

Make sure you check out the part in the TM about the top or main section of the canvas: there is one front and one top so it, if correctly installed, only fits one way. If you have a geniune Army spec tarp that is.

Lol mine are gonna take a crap load of beer and maybe some wood to modify ill take pics when done trying to make drop side seats fit a nOne drop side bed

Ok got a surprise text today from the wife she installed the troop seats bows and cover today by herself. I'm pretty impressed but she's stuck on one thing and wanted me to ask what these straps and clips are for

 

[maddawg308]

I believe your wife put the cover on upside-down.

 

[seano11]

Are you being serious. ?

 

[maddawg308]

I think so - my GMA cover had the camo on the outside, and those straps were on the inside. I believe they are used to strap the cover to the bows or troop seats, to prevent the cargo cover from wiggling around in the wind when driving.

 

[seano11]

Do the windows roll up from the inside or outside. ?

 

[steelandcanvas]

The sides roll up on the outside, the straps are to keep it rolled up. There should be one part of the strap on the inside and one on the outside, or a clip to connect the inside strap to. Don't confuse these roll-up straps with the tie-down straps on bows #1 and #5. Clear as mud eh?

 

[seano11]

So by the pictures I have can you tell if its on right

 

[seano11]

As it is right now the windows roll up from the inside and the back door zipper unzips from the outside

 

[kurtkds]

yep, the cover is on inside out...

And there is a "front" and "back" to it.

The back will have those straps to allow the back curtain to be rolled up and secured.

 

[seano11]

Well at least she tried
