Just posted the pictures I took at Denton on Friday. Working on getting some videos posted this week... http://gear-report.com/humvee-denton-military-vehicle-show-2017-pictures-videos

ETA 1100 for me

Party?!!! Nobody told me there was a PARTY!! Probably just as well. I should save my money for HMMWV parts, not bail money. ;) I'm thinking I'll shoot for about 8am... although, who knows when I'll actually get on the road.

Headed to Denton Friday morning. What time should I plan to arrive on Friday? Never been to an event like this... not sure what to expect. Will bring some parts to sell: http://gear-report.com/forums/topic/hmmwv-stuff-for-sale-at-denton-mv-show-april-2017

Hey Ryan. Thanks for the update. Do you mind if I use your pictures in a "How to make cargo cover bows" post?

Good to know. However, as a proud graduate of Apex Senior High School, there was never any chance that I would leave the Apex out of either bow. :)

Thanks!

Thanks! Looking forward to the dimensions. I finished the rest of the conversion and am THRILLED with how it turned out. Can't wait to getting the aft area covered to give even more flexibility in how the space is used.

lol. I was wondering who the first person to mention that would be. :) I got that lambs wool pad in Turkey a couple of decades ago while on a Europe & Middle East deployment. Back then it was just a pad to make the headset more comfortable, as there was still plenty of hair up there. Now, it is...

Installed an intercom in the Battlewagon...a $100 intercom... http://gear-report.com/humvee-diy-upgrade-robust-100-hmmwv-intercom

Thanks. :) My wife says I'm an A-Hole. lol

Because they are a known quantity. :) Custom... may be better, or may not. Even great seat makers don't get everything right on the first try when custom designing seats for a new application. If I have $600 for a seat it would be hard to justify the risk of hoping that the custom shop does...

Actually, OA makes a LOT of non-aircraft products, including a wide variety of military marine and ground vehicle seats. As it was explained to me, the assumption that the OA seats are expensive because of weight concerns driving up costs is incorrect. The OA cushions actually weigh a good bit...

We rarely review anything that isn't sent by the brand for review. :) As noted in the review, the cushions were provided by Oregon Aero. With the amount of work we put into reviews, nothing we review is remotely "free". I don't know if I would purchase them, as we rarely drive the Battlewagon...

The Oregon Aero seats certainly aren't for everyone. However, I have original seats, military high backs and the OA cushions. The OA's really are way better than the high backs that most people upgrade to. But if you aren't spending hours behind the wheel at a time, then you may not really get...

Thanks. I already have the turn-buckles and rivets. If they were smaller and less costly to ship I may just buy a set. Shipping makes the a fair amount more than I care to pay.

Almost done adding the summary to the first link above. :) FWIW, Oregon Aero only sent the front seats, since we were in 2 man config at the time. Last night I converted 2 high back Commander seats to rear seats for the Battlewagon. We are letting the LizardSkin coatings cure today and tomorrow...

Funny you would say this. We ONLY did written reviews for YEARS. However, people kept asking for videos... so we spent a lot of time and $ learning how to produce videos, buying good video equipment, etc. In this case we don't have a full written review. I'll add a quick summary to the original...

Buy once, cry once: http://gear-report.com/humvee-upgrade-oregon-aero-hmwv-seat-upgrade-overview-video I have lower back issues and the stock seats didn't work well for me AT ALL. These work great.

Planning to make a set of 4-man cargo cover bows. Anyone with the rear cargo cover willing to take a few measurements please? I've marked them on the attached diagram. -Height -width to center peak -total width -length of center spreader bar THANKS!
