    HMMWV 4-man Soft Top Slant Back

    Working on a new stronger frame. My old frames are not satisfactory. First step is to level up to 1” steel tubing. Thanks to a suggestion from another HMMWV owner, I found a company called MakerPipe that sells interesting fittings designed to work with light steel piping. Here are some...

    Hard vs soft......doors

    William Welch of Blue Ox Tops on Facebook sells door skins that velcro on. His customers love them. He uses milspec heavy vinyl and Ford Bronco OEM clear vinyl. Top shelf stuff. If you want to keep soft doors, check him out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/967096063720957 BDGR

    So I was just looking for a Chevy Pickup...

    Congrats on the new truck. There was one local to me that I badly wanted but still can't justify the purchase and the driveway is too small to hide it from my wife. One day. Some day. Bulldogger

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Bill does great work. If you ever want a soft slant back to match I use the same material from the same vendor. BDGR

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Top Slant Back

    Here are some more examples of my work. The current design uses Made in USA Berry Act compliant milspec PVC vinyl or civilian high-quality sailcloth, just like Hummer H1s used. The frame arrives ready to assemble. You only need a screwdriver. The cover attaches with velcro.

    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    Happy to help! Hey, you need some footmen on the fenders and in the bed! The 1" can usually be found elsewhere on the truck, look behind the drivers seat or on the top of the inside of the windshield, for instance. Inside the bed on each side is supposed to be a long flat one that has been...
