Anyone know of an aftermarket enclosure for the Max IV? The RI prices are unreasonable for these machines. I have rare military jeeps that the complete canvas top doors and side curtains are much cheaper than what RI ask for there tops.

Go to a place that makes canvas boat tops, see what they would charge. They did a fairly intricate one with windows to make a slant back top for my 77 k5 blazer for about 300 bucks.
Thanks guys. I am almost done camoing my Max IV with Camo Clad Advanced Max-4 pattern. I ordered 6 yards of Cordura the same pattern. I just have to get my window material now. My mom has an industrial type sewing machine. We are gonna make the top. If all goes well we might make more. I will keep you posted.

Eddie, if you can use your mom's sewing machine you will save so much of the cost on the labor. Let us know how it turns out. An industrial type sewing machine is something that I would love to have in my shop to make seats and tops with. Good luck with it, and post up some pics when you're done if you get a chance.

I almost have all the Camo clad on. It really looks cool. My mom has made the top half of one seat cover in the Advantage MAX4 pattern using the cordura. It looks factor.
Post some pics of the camoclad when you get it done. The factory is close to where I live and I thought of putting it on a new one as an option for sale. A lot of the guys at work love camoclad. They put it on just about everything. One guy bought a blazer with a dead battery for $300 from a student. He put in a new battery and washed it and covered the whole thing in camoclad then sold it for $3000. They call it redneck wallpaper at work.
Camo Clad pictures are uploaded in my photos Jerry. No top yet but you can see the body and the condura seat covers. Top to come next.
We started cutting out the top last night.
