COMPLETED - Bronco Trail Cover Mass Buy - Ends June 30

[ChrisinWV]

Thanks Rick, I think I was one of those extras with the break in price.
I wasn't even worried about price break at that point as I knew I missed the mass buy so KUDOS for the discount.
I got mine yesterday in the mail and it is very nice. The quality is obvious and it will make a nice addition.

Yours has to be the one they tried to deliver Saturday and then delivered yesterday.

I need to set up a map of the US now for fun so I can start marking the states where I've shipped them so far.

I received mine today. As far as I know I was last on the list to be delivered to. Both items look great. Now I just have to get my bronco done so I can try them on.

Not quite last, still have not seen mine.

Fed Ex says its coming though

Same story here too. I think it was to be here today.

 

[SaddleUp]

I show that both of the above should arrive tomorrow. (Assuming this fancy Insight thing FedEx set me up with last week can be trusted)

 

[KManuel]

Fed Ex was right on the money, came this morning. Looks good, but the top is already on...so won't find out the fit till next year.

Thanks Rick, looks great

 

[evil69]

Yep, showed up this morning. Even sick as a dog, I had to run out and install it. Now I need one of the whole truck covers for the Sport.

I think those will follow the current project I'm working on. Probably another week or two to get the rest of the details worked out so I'm in a position to reveal it.

Full cover

Rick,

When will you be making full covers?
I'd like one for my roadster which doesn't have a soft top.
I'd like it to have a sleeve for the mirror and windshield.

thanks,Mike

Once I get the soft tops done I'll decide where to go next. I'm getting a lot of requests for doors to match the tops so I'm not certain what the next project will be yet. The projects on my list currently are:

Soft Tops (Currently working on the prototype)
Full Covers
Soft Doors
Large Tire Covers
Roll Bar Pad Covers

These are all items I plan to develop and sell. I'm just not sure which order they will be released yet.

Consumer Report on Rick's Trail Covers:

We traveled over 12 hours each way to Tellico last weekend with 4 rigs on a wedge trailer behind a Volvo tractor..quite a bit of it in the rain. Three of the four rigs had Rick's covers on them. (I'll get ya some pics of that Rick..looks pretty cool.. ). Anywho, only mine had any problems and they were problems I guess I should have anticipated..the front straps on my door flaps chaffed where they wrapped around my skis before being attached to my radius arms and one of the straps frayed completely through. So..the covers trailer GREAT..but make sure you put something between the front straps and the edge of anything hard that they wrap around. The moderate flapping motion of the front door edges will fray them clean through otherwise.

Sure was awfully nice to arrive with a dry (inside) rig after hauling in the rain each way..;D

Rick are you planning on making full soft doors, or doors to fit inserts? You don't really see many full doors anywhere.

Pics would be great. If you can get one of the problem area that would be good as well. I'll look at it and see if there is either a change I can make or advise I can pass on to keep it from happening to others.

I do plan to do a set of doors to fit inserts similar to the ones I have on mine now. I don't know if there is a big enough market for a door without the inserts though.

The strap itself is what chaffed through, Rick..so since you would have no way of controlling or even knowing exactly where along the length of the strap that it might be wrapped around the edge of something hard, it's really incumbent on the 'end user' to deal with it. I'm just going to wrap some 'sacrifical' canvas around the strap where it passes over my skis and it will be fine..after I get the strap repaired/replaced by local boat canvas shop. I'll get those pics (still waiting for the guy in our group that took 'em to email them to me) and also I'll take one showing where I made the boo boo..

Rick,

Did you make that soft top? looks good.

Yes. That is a first prototype. I'm working on the second one now. Here is the thread where it is being discussed: http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?p=793095

That is pretty awesome. Can I add that one to the flyers?
