Cheers to all who stopped by my vendor spot at the Denton MV Show and Rally. I have some soft slant back kits left over and am offering free shipping to anyone who orders in the next week.
All kits are Made In USA.
Currently available in the following colors/material:
OD Green milspec PVC...
Starbrite works well. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Brite-081922PC-Waterproofing-22-Ounce/dp/B004A7ER94
The best protectant for leaks is to snug the top on well so water doesn't pool. If that's not possible, regular cleaning and treating with Starbrite helps.

To help boost awareness of the Denton collectors show this coming weekend I want to remind everyone that I will be there with half a dozen HMMWV soft slant back kits to show anyone who wants to see one in person. https://dentonfarmpark.com/military-vehicle-collector-show/
Hope to see you there...
Thanks for posting it! I see I need to manage the folds up front better. Though it may be a simple case of my jig and truck vs yours, especially where the 4-man top meets the back cover. If I fit a cover too tight it might only fit my truck…
I look forward to some field reports!
Please keep us...
My son and I are driving down Friday to check in and set up. Plan to man the booth Saturday and Sunday. Come by if you need sewing repairs or want to see a HMMWV Soft Slant Back in person.

The vehicle mounted radio should be fine w 24 VDC. The manpack versions need the special battery that has multiple voltages, unfortunately, unless you find a modern adapter that has the necessary voltage step ups and so on. Not to say it can't be done, but it will take a little doing. Here is...
I have registered as a vendor and plan to attend.
If anyone wants to see a HMMWV soft slant back kit in person, please plan to come by. I plan to take several frames and all my covers on hand with. Tell me what color and material you want to see and I will try to have one on hand. Also, I am...
Also, to be very clear: the full tailgate width version is a beta prototype and I don't know if I will be offering it yet. I need some field information about how well it holds up first. My Mk2 and Mk2.1 covers are made for the already-tested frame and those are in stock now.

Here is a couple pictures of black versions. One is PVC and one is civilian sailcloth. My Facebook page has a lot more “action photos”. I am not allowed to link it here, but if you go to FB and search Madmountain Military you’ll find me.

Am considering attending as a vendor. This post is to ask folks familiar with this event for their opinions if this is the kind of swap meet and market whose attendees would be interested in canvas and vinyl repairs, HMMWV window zipper repairs, new HMMWV rear curtains, curtain upgrades and...

Tarp (noun): a rectangular swath of fabric with a hemmed edge and grommets. Intended to be draped over something to keep the weather at bay.
My offer has caused some confusion.
I'm offering rectangular tarps with a folded hem/edge and evenly spaced grommets at $15 a linear yard. I am not...
I realize most cannot reply to the Classifieds, and I don't want to run afoul of the no-advertising in the general forum rules, so if you are interested in talking about custom made tarps please start a conversation with me or hit the Like button here and I will reach out to you.
Why am I...
As best able, yes. I was replacing the transmission/oil cooler as part of the task, so I just drained everything. I would have liked if I could have kept the steering cooler and lines filled, but it managed to leak.
