Thank you All Wheel Trim

Got to say these guys were a pleasure to deal with, they bust a gut to get my 3/4 hood made for my pick up so I could collect it while I was in Oxford, they called frequently with progress just to assure it would be all done, fitting it tomorrow!
Wish every company were like these guys, two weeks later still waiting for my spare wheel swing away carrier

how the canvas held up? I am looking to get one from them but was wondering how good the canvas was from them from a longevity point of view

Well it has been shoved through scratchy, had large branches raked over it, never been properly cleaned and it is still in perfect nick!!! The canvas is superb!
You get an element of shrinkage, and I binned the rope fixing in favour of elastic cable. The only issue I have had is, because I opted for the series back with channel around window rather than channel at the bottom, I think the drainage channels would benefit from a great deal more depth.
But mine hasn't even bleached in the sun, and it's been basking in the open!
All in all
Service=thumbs up
Canvas=^^^^^^^
Longevity=^^^^^

I had an all wheel trim hood made for my ex mil 90, 4 years ago, the type that retains the military roll bar and has a tonneau cover over the rear bed, as said I ditched the rope fixing for an elastic type and ran it for 3 years without any trouble. I sold the 90 last year and am still in regular contact with the owner and the roof is still in great condition and is still regularly used offroad.

Also just like to add that I too had a good experience buying from all wheel trim who seemed to pull out all the stops for me

Cool cheers guys, I was looking to get a truck can canvas one and a tonneau cover.

Shall get it ordered soon from them then!

yes, the part of the tonneau that meets the cab is held on by turn fastenings onto a small flap of canvas stitched onto the cab. the best bit though is being able to keep the military roll bar with it

yeah thats kind of key, a it looks awesome and b it what my seat belts are on

Just thinking, all wheel trim recommend a PVC tonneau. Wouldn't that look gash with a canvas tilt?

What is the tonneau made from in the above pic and were there issues with shrinkage?

Mine was a canvas tonneau, they never offered a pvc one at the time of ordering. it was always nice and easy to fit but as said I ditched the rope that came with it and replaced with an elasticated type rope which was much easier.
I think the only bad thing was depending how you parked sometimes you'd end up with a lake on top of the tonneau in the rain but I would imagine a pvc one would do the same, I should add that the waterproofing was really good though and the rain never came in, even after 4 years
