If they are certain it has to be demilitarized, then they should be able to tell you the demil code. Then search the code for an explanation of the appropriate steps. Unless it specifically states "No, Not, Never" there is usually a way to appropriately demil it without ruining it. "Render...

Tired of leaves getting into your HMMWV bed? A slant back or cargo cover would cure that! Several in stock. Happy to custom sew one (which is the usual OOO).

Agreed, to you both. The tubing may be too light. I will make some measurements with calipers on the bows I have. Easy enough to figure out the wall thickness. Yes Gunther, the bends are not 90deg exactly. I have a protractor I will use to measure the angle before I replicate it, if I undertake...

Any person who has a HMMWV that has wanted to fit a cargo or troop cover where there wasn't one when it came into his or her possession has had to either look locally and hope for a set of bows or order them and pay extra shipping fees due to the oversize package restriction. In some cases Less...

Here is a link to the correct C&C outdoor thread. There are many colors available besides White. I have used it on milvinyl before with good results. Now I buy milspec rated thread in lots by the pound. If anyone need a MILE of thread for something, let me know ;)...

If your window is in good shape sure, just restitch it. Be sure to use Outdoor rated thread. The company Coats and Clark, a very old thread and sewing notions company, sell an outdoor rated upholstery thread I recommend. If your window is in any way degraded, cloudy, scratched, or cracked, you...

Bump for September. I have some cargo covers in stock and can make a custom one readily. I also repair/upgrade rear curtains with bigger windows and zippered roll up centers.

They look good. I wonder it it's something I could CAD and 3D print and put on eBay. I don't put my printer to work to pay for itself enough.

Bumping this for one last reminder. I have soft slant back kits in stock in several colors and two black HMMWV 4-man cargo covers also. I will not bring any unless someone commits to purchase, as I haven't the room for a "maybe" in my car this year.

Cabell, we are coming Friday noon-ish. Because my HMMWV is busted (again) I won't be coming with the usual glamping setup. Lean and mean this year. We love having a campfire, but won't be able to bring wood this year. Do you know of some dried, cut wood we can gather and split? I can bring an...

When this happens to me, it's a timing issue. It does sound like you also have other problems, which isn't a surprise on an old truck. All I can do is encourage you at this point, since I have no direct experience with the M135 (though I daydream about having one). Please keep us posted. BDGR

Thanks Grendel and HDN for the replies about tutorials. I’ll check them out. I tried doing the Fusion free course but it didn’t suit me. I should still try again I guess. I’m limiting myself not knowing how to use Fusion. I can bash something out but I’m doing a lot of the steps manually instead...

I would like to get more use out of my industrial printer (Ultimaker S5 Pro). Lately, it sits when I'm not printing fittings for my tiny HMMWV bed cover business. I would trade free, or at-cost, printing in exchange for handholding Fusion lessons and/or CAD-to-order designing of some things...

Looking forward to it. For the swap meet I may bring a few small things. As a reminder to the HMMWV crowd, I have vinyl soft slant back kits and custom cargo covers available. All handmade, by me. I can bring one/some if anyone is interested in making a purchase. Bulldogger

Posted elsewhere but also here in case: I can bring any of my handmade HMMWV soft slant back kits or cargo covers to the rally if anyone is interested in buying one. Please message me. See you soon, Bulldogger
