Nw in box belt tensioner for sale. Was going to use it but found antifreeze in the oil so never mind improving that engine! OEM military surplus in excellent condition. Part number 1246984 or 2920–0 1-491–2011 $75 shipped

Black Dog have some nice products. The custom HMMWV accessories business is a niche market for sure. BDGR

Bump. Still available.

Interesting. I didn't know Pontiac made a Ram Air induction system for HMMWVs. :D

Absolutely! The cargo cover itself attaches along the outer rear edge of the soft top. There is no impact on the fitment of the 4-man top itself nor the rear curtain. I have the curtain always mounted in my M998, with the center section unzipped and rolled up. (I added an oversized window and...

Not sure how I would do that. I rely on the double Velcro strip along the rear of the milspec soft top to attach the front of the cargo cover (per the original design). I am aware of Velcro-fitted aluminum strips that were used on the H1 and on other outdoor equipment, which might be fitted to...

Here is a photo showing the crossbars. These are 5 3/4” diameter steel tubes with clamps to add stiffness and structure to military HMMWV cargo cover bows. (Cargo bows NOT included.) They are also for sale separately for $110 a set plus shipping. BDGR

Finished and boxed yesterday. Headed to Florida to a soft slant back customer who wants the option for a cargo cover also. The design will keep evolving I’m sure but this cover should do just fine in the field. I plan to make these only in sailcloth moving forward. Bulldogger

Progress last night. The front leading edge was trimmed to match the curve of the C pillar and the Velcro strip seen in. The rear hatchway was seamed and defined. Positioning grommets were marked. Also got half the edging done before running out of prepared vinyl edging strips. I folded more so...

Sure. Amazon https://www.amazon.com/eoere-Connector-Carbon-Clamps-Thickness/dp/B0CKQW11SJ This company also sells a fitting called a "Pivot Tee" that I also use. They usually have the best price. There are other vendors on Amazon. There is also a company called Maker Pipe that has some...

Time to start a black sailcloth cover. I have a customer for this one already. He has a soft slant back but wants more flexibility for cargo capacity so he’s asked me to make this for him too. First step is to put 11 feet of material over the bows and begin marking seams and Velcro locations...

With each major seam I put the cover back on the frame to check all fittings. Then it was time to stitch on the back panel and zippers, locate the grommets and add tie down straps. I’m using ITW NEXUS D rings just like I use I soft slant backs. Ancra buckles can be had, but at $25 each, the...

Now the seams are taking form and I’m planning the rear flap/panel and window.
