7VHU Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Mmmm… good weather for a dukw (or a schwimmwagen) or at least your hood up : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH my hood spends most of the time stowed under the passenger seat, you could look for a second hand one for the rare occasion it gets used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yeah always my intention a new one would look so out of place, saying this I've just got a new screen canvas so need to weather it somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen canvas is easy to weather, just scrunch it up a few times and drag it around the floor 😁 adds patina… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 A G503 is one of those rare convertibles that looks good with both hood up & down ☺️ I never bothered to put it under the seat, I just roll/fold it around the hoops when they are down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 This year, for a different look to normal, I tried it with the canvas on, but the back folded up. At almost every show I go to, everyone else has the canvas off and screen down ( because they think it looks cooler, despite the fact that driving a Jeep in any configuration is cool ). I usually have the screen up and canvas on, just to make my Jeep stand out as different. Nothing worse than looking around a show and seeing 20 identical Jeeps, screen down, baseball bat and mit, camo net etc! That was one of the reasons I have the Flying Control look too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviem Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Guys where is the screen canvas stored when not in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 You could strap it under the passenger seat, using the stowage straps under there. Here's my straps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Thanks Steve, would these be the same length as those used for the canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzH Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 With careful folding, you'll get both the canopy and the screen cover under there and strapped in... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviem Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I quite like headlight covers , it gives a kind of mean dirty look rather than shiny glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Took the old lady out for a spin after the long winter storage loved it, screen down steady 40mph, all good until i pulled up at home and heard a clunking noise when moving slowly, I'll have to check it our 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted Monday at 08:03 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:03 PM Got a general build up of crap through the cooling system, full drain or drop the rad rince and repeat which is better.also still got a knock on every wheel rotation drivers front, nothing obvious from the exterior.

Richard Farrant Posted Monday at 09:05 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:05 PM Hi, The knock on your front wheel could be the drive joint in the swivel housing, to prove this without dismantling, remove flange on wheel hub then spin the wheel, if it still knocks then it could be a wheel bearing, if no knock I would then suspect the drive joint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
