Actually I designed the bows to be removable, the eye bolts just twist like the old toggles did. The only permanent portion is the angle iron. I needed the cover for my upcoming PCS move from FT Lewis,WA to FT Bragg, NC, beyond that I have not thought of painting the cover. I might do so at...
I am planning on the Southern route so its possible. I will depart FT Lewis on or about 13 December. Headed to Alabama/Georgia. I will head up to FT Bragg after I complete AWOAC at FT Rucker.

Just look for CUCV Cargo Cover, or M1008 Cargo cover on ebay. Or look up Saturnsurplus seller name, it's there. It was only like $129 including shipping. Shoot me PM if you need the actual link.

*edit: It occurred to me to run some 550 cord through the eyelets but I really don't...
The bottom of the cover used to be secured by these little twist toggles, you can find the original parts but they are pricey, I decided on 3/16" eye bolts, pre tightened w/ lock washer, then give them a final 1/4 turn to lock in the cover
Not 100% finished but close, I still need some adjustments but its pretty close. I ordered the cover from Saturn Surplus, used scrap angle iron, 3/16" eye bolts (substitute for the old twist toggle), and electrical conduit for the bows.

24V Jeep Heater install

Hey Pat, I could do that. Not looking to profit per say, a bit to help with fuel cost so I can at least match whatever quote you have, probably better.

Need something moved? I'm moving from WA to GA then in a few months on up to NC.
I may have room if somebody need something moved along the way. I start this move on 13 DEC, planned route is to go South through California then cut East once I'm past most of the mountains. I'm using the M35A2...
Yes Brad is still in business, he is slowly clearing stuff out so may want to get up here sooner rather than later. I don't think he is "going out of business" but he may be limited to what he can keep indoors.

Guys,
I only have about a month before the big move so my time is limited. That being said I plan on going to Dan's on Sunday to work on a few things with the trucks. That may or may not be a opportunity...that would need to be cleared through Dan first. I also want to get one last ski...
Ha tried to get Scott to meet Mike and I at "Casa Mia's" for pizza, wife said no he had to go to "Babies R Us" instead, hey maybe we could have a mini rally there at Babies R Us?rofl
Yeah Mike for sure there are lots of top notch guys in this hobby (such as Dan, Dwayne, Ed, and many others......to many to list)
Thanks for all involved in helping Mike out this weekend!

Most of the ones I have seen are " FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" also for mine it was vinyl lettering rather than a painted stencil.
