Unfortunately it remains untested. You'd think I'd be more on top of it to get out there and test fit the new end curtain. I was actually waiting until I had the deuce put back together from another project (that's been delayed for various reasons) so I could pull the truck out of the garage and...

You know, that's a great question, but I don't know what refletex is. Perhaps some local companies that make like boat or camper covers would have suggestions? I've honestly thought about taking two one-piece covers to a local place and asking them to quilt some form of insulation to the...

Brian's Canvas finished the modifications to my end curtain. Top notch work for me providing only basic "vision" or instructions!! There are three zippers here. The outermost one is a double grab zipper that provide direct access to the inside with no messing with the screen. The inner zipper...

Last Friday I took the ol' deuce to a local custom covers shop, Brian's Canvas, in Clearfield, Utah, for them to take whatever measurements they needed as I explained what I had in mind as for the deuce's rear "tent flap" out of those new 3-piece cargo cover end curtains and tent screen.

I decided to take care of the ends of the woven section of the tie-down rope. I thought these rope clamps would be a lot easier than wrapping some string/tape at the end: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JDLTA7A/ When I ordered, I was doing so off of the advertisement for the ropes as...

To complete the tarp awning, I purchased these 1/2" marine grade, nylon ropes with tensioners and a pre-woven loop. The loop will go over the tip of the telescoping poles and then down to stakes. http://military-tent.com/magrroli.html Though, it does look like the end of the pre-woven loop...

I received my poles yesterday. They're a bit more "used" than expected and I had to fix a couple pins who would easily self extract, but these are pretty neat poles (also in need of a cleaning, and maybe a painting)! My military "tarp" I'm using on this project is about 12' x 12', so I'm...

Agreed! Obviously the simplest option is just as you said, tailgate up, rear flap down. My project is to address the three issues I had with that approach: The difficulty of climbing in/out of the bed with the tailgate up Not really able to secure the rear flap once inside if the wind comes...

And I don't mean a pooper. :lol: Last fall I had a really great experience sleeping on a cot in the bed of my my M35A2. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?161052-Utah-offroad-trip-to-5-mile-pass Of course I want to improve that experience! What I'm working on is to create a...
