Made In America, Buy America
The vinyl I use is made in New Jersey and the other parts (thread, cord and cord lock) are also US-made. And then it's made (by me) in Virginia.

You must have a very understanding wife. (She got a sister?) Don't forget to skim a few $$ every coupe of big purchases for flowers, lots of flowers...
Dropper mine off at a garage willing to swap the transmission and transfer case. Had gathered everything to do it myself but other obligations continue to delay me and it's too cold now to do it myself. I hope to get a highway-ready HMMWV back in a week...

Finished sewing a new soft slant back to replace my old one made out of ballistic nylon. Ballistic is NOT a good fabric for large items like this bc it changes size greatly due to heat/cold, rain and sunlight. Can be very tricky to get on and off. And it didn't weather very well overall.

I made a tan slant back for a fellow in Maryland late 2021. I'm...
I'll be sure to contact you directly.
Are you looking for 2-man, 4-man w rear seat belt mounts or 4-man without belt mounts? I figure on making 2-man and 4-man seatbelt. I wonder how many folks have 4-man without rear belts. And what color? I've green, tan and black fabric on hand. No camo...
I'm close to having a set of rear curtain designs I am satisfied with (at least for beta testers to try out). I have some 2-man versions ready, but still have to finish the 4-man design. I don't make tops and don't plan to. Way too much sewing in one of those. You didn't ask but I'll offer that...
