Dropper mine off at a garage willing to swap the transmission and transfer case. Had gathered everything to do it myself but other obligations continue to delay me and it's too cold now to do it myself. I hope to get a highway-ready HMMWV back in a week... BDGR

I had someone else do the swap, for a 4L80 and NP242 from a turbo diesel setup. Used EZ TCU for the controller to avoid having to replace the wiring harnesses. There's several places that will sell you a salvaged HMMWV 4L80 and they are easy to rebuild (I'm told). I'm having mine replaced due to...

Sent you a message in the Conversations feature. You should be able to respond, even with a low post count, since I wrote you first. Let me know if not. BDGR

Intriguing idea. Got me interested so I looked around at retrofit arms. They exist, but there doesn't seem to be much on the net about installing them in a non-standard application. Some scant boating forum entries on retrofit and repair. It sounds like a great idea. I hate driving with my head...

Welcome to the hobby! Let me know if you ever want a soft slant back kit. Bulldogger

It's always a good idea to ask the SteelSoldiers forum, in the Parts Wanted section of the Classifieds. Head's up, eBay has a lot of counterfeit Chinese parts infiltrating its listings. Can be very hard to spot. As far as HMMWV parts in Germany, that's something I can't comment on. We do have...

Sorry to hear tobyS. Hope your thumb ad projects recover quickly. BDGR

Yes, according to their website Herculite military fabric meets MIL-PRF-20696, which is the governing mil standard for fabric performance. My source makes their textiles to the same standard. But I appreciate that lead 87cr250r, because maybe if I call Herculite it will turn out they will sell...

Good question. I’m not aware of any. Perhaps someone knows and will chime in. BDGR

PM replied to oddshot. Anyone looking for this PVC will find it hard to come by. I will sell by the yard to those interested. OD green and desert tan available. If enough people want black PVC I might order a roll. These are Made In America Berry Act compliant and the current military color...

What kind of material are you looking for specifically? 1000D (Denier = the weight) Cordura nylon is easy to get in quantity. I like the seller textile_specialist on eBay for their prices and selection. They sell in bulk and by the yard. My early HMMWV soft slant backs were all made from this...

I sent you a PM (conversation) with some details. BDGR

Then you can get a 4-man top in a matter of days. WW is the best source I know of and stands behind his work. BDGR

In my opinion, there's nobody better than William Welch https://www.facebook.com/groups/967096063720957/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=1777351852695370 He has had trouble shipping overseas a few times, but as far as I know he will at least try. BDGR

I have finished sewing my first MilSpec PVC soft slant back. It looks great! (OK, I am biased.) I will begin offering these kits for sale soon. Please feel free to reach out to me. I am working in cooperation with William Welch of Blue Ox Tops on Facebook. WIlliam was kind enough to share his...

Going to shelve this bed cover project for a while. I'm not sure I like it after leaving the prototype on my truck for a couple weeks. Needs underside support fur sure and it tends to sag regardless. I have some ideas, but am going to focus on soft slant backs for a while. Then maybe tire...

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
