Where did you get the Rumpl Blankets for $30? I've been looking at those, but $200 for a 2 person blanket seems a bit wild!

If they were cheaper, it'd be cool to take each window of them and cut into strips for our purposes, but at ~$300 for a full set, that seemed wasteful.

Will watch for Vanmadegear (keep us posted). The ability to store on the window is important to me.

Yeah that was my concerns about those window covers. I'll keep watching Vanmade gear's site and let everyone know when they pop up on there.

Sierra (if you’re not familiar with it, it’s owned by TJ Max I believe and is a outlet store for more outdoor orientated clothing and gear) they have a store location near me and they had the blankets on final clearance. They are the single person blankets 52” by 75” if I’m remembering correctly.

That's pretty funny Scotty...

We're about two hours into it, not counting sourcing. So. Much. Work. Will keep you posted.

Add me to the list as well! Very interested in windshield, fronts, barns and others. Mine is a 15 pass but wouldn't need all the windows!

Excited to see it come together!

Interested in both rear doors, 60/40 doors, main doors and windshield.

I would also be interested, we tried to make these as well based off of some of the posts you referenced. I actually think we did a decent job but it was so hard to make the first one I could never talk my wife into finishing the project haha... definitely more difficult to make then they look. Instead of reflectix for the center I think we found a different material that another supplier was using I'll have to look up what it was, I think reflectix really only works best when used as a barrier with an air gap?

However, if you have a link / suggestion to good looking subrella fabric, please let us know-- thx for the suggestion.

My Bronco soft top is made of Top Gun marine fabric. It has held up very well, has been color-fast, and may be another option to consider.
