I bought a cargo cover from mountain gear surplus sales. Is it just me or does the picture look like a deuce and a half? Hopefully I can get my money back. Has anyone else used this company?

If it’s too long for your M35A2, which it appears to be, they got it wrong X2, that is for a MTV. If it fits a 12’ bed, you can flip this to a LMTV guy, those are super hard to find.

Have you contacted them yet?

Looks like longer than 12' ......like perhaps an m1083 bed.

When I measured it on the ground it was around 12.5'

I wound up with the same problem. I traded a new in the crate cover kit for a Deuce that was tan for a pieced together group of parts with a camo cover @ one of our meets. When I got it home, it was in good shape, but for a 5ton truck. Good luck with getting yours straightened out.

It won't be quite right , but it looks like some longer staves would make it work as a last resort .

As you have "called out" this vendor before contacting them please be sure to post up any corrective actions they take.
I edited my post because I didn't look at photo with my glasses.

I'm sure there would be less problems if the website included the NSN number like most military parts supplies do .

I agree porky, IMHO one should always contact other party and try to work it out before posting their name? Could be as simple as new employee grabed top from wrong pile he thought someone else was pointing at?

The manager seemed to be responsive when I voiced my problem. He stated he will be fixing the issue. Will let y'all know what happens and how long it may take to remedy the issue. Perhaps I should edit my topic. As my original question is has anyone done business with this company?

A while back I posted about how I paid around $400 for the wrong advertised cargo cover. After I talked to the company a week later, despite the as is no complaints after 3 days of having the product, the owner sent me the correct cargo top free of charge. It looks decent and worth the money I spent. In the picture you can see the link for the site. If you order from them don't be in a hurry it did take a while to get both.

Also I appreciate any suggestions for how to get this cover on correctly and tight, I guess there's something to it that I'm not understanding.

Hate to be Debbie downer but that top doesn't look right either. The tie ropes should line up perfectly with the tiedowns.

Do you think it's for a 5 ton?

For sure not for a 5 ton. Are there any numbers stenciled on it?

Will have to check tomorrow

 

[Recovry4x4]

Certainly not a 5 ton cover, its too short. How far down does it go on the passenger side? It sure looks like its on backwards to me. It takes some time and adjusting to get them just right. Do you have end curtains?

I don't know this vendor

but i can tell you we find a lot of government surplus is mis labeled

Many times what is labeled as a M35 cover is actually a 5 ton cover

we don't know this until a customer goes to install - as they are shipped in original folded or packed condition

This is the nature of " surplus" many times

And that is why an NSN is so important! Even then sometimes they do not fit correctly, esp. if backwards.
