Newlife Canvas?
Last February I spoke to Mona and ordered a new top. The estimated delivery date was the middle of April. I have sent a few emails with no answers and was wondering if she is still in business?

I wonder the same
I emailed twice requesting a price and such, and got no response. Others had mentioned having rec'd quick responses to their requests, so who knows?
I placed an order a while ago too. I hadnt heard anything for a few months and they didnt reply to emails. I called them and they promptly answered the phone. They have a big list of projects and they are slowly working through them. I guess I would rather have them work on canvas than spend time emailing people.
When the stuff comes it will be a great improvement over what other dealers have offered. Patience will pay off.

I have patience so we shall see. In the mean time I took a chance not long ago and ordered something to keep the cab dry when I'm not using the truck. I was tired of the blue box store tarps and bought a Golf cart cover. A little long but works fine and for the $49 dollars was a good purchase. I bet there would be a market for a zip on vinyl cover to save the canvas!
I think you might be onto something with zip on protection for our canvas?Wayne64 wrote: I was tired of the blue box store tarps and bought a Golf cart cover.

Not Sure
When I bought my rig, it had a blk naugahyde bimini top, held in place w/ blk bungee cords, hated it, new canvas from WEEBEE Webbing at the Ft. Lee MVPA Nat Conference, put it on the next day. Removed it twice since then.
A couple guys have had a canvas bimini top made, Bill Watson name comes to mind as well as a guy who has a few Fj-40's, I'm getting old, I just can't for the life of me remember his name??
This might be something worth looking into?

Well you guys have more patience than I do. Had that been me, I'd accept some lead time, but if I called an no correspondance, then the next step would be a letter sent certified mail and a request to either send product or refund money!
Being a small potatoes business is no excuse IMO to leave a customer hanging out to dry. How hard is it to answer a phone? A simple, "we're working on it, you should have it by XXX date" , goes alot farther than not answering period. I've discontinued business with shaky outfits for alot less than that.
My opinion, go with Wee Bee webbing. When I was quoted a lead time, it was spot on, no guessing or BS, and they answered the phone!

The golf cart cover I bought is a good fit for both the width and length of the cab top only. But with the extra depth (length) of the cover I can fold it to cover the cowl vent. We have had some big time storms and it hasn't blown off nor let any water in. As an added bonus the cover has built in vents.mike_l wrote:Golf cart cover? Does it cover the entire front end of the truck or just the cab portion? Interesting idea. I'm also getting tired of the blue tarp look.
