That is good to hear. Military stuff is popular but CJ's just aren't for getting original canvas items. I sure would have given you a ring had I known.

Man what a burnt-out re-run of a thread....if you took Joel's crowing over the product out of the thread you would have NOBODY giving New Life a five-star rating! Everyone else pretty much got sucked in with Joel's commendation about the product from NL and then couldn't even get a phone to answer a call message returned, or any correspondence in a timely fashion from NL.

Whenever someone tells you "It's worth the wait" ask them how long they would wait for delivery and what they would suggest if 1-2 years go by with no correspondence/phone calls/emails regarding the status of the order were received.

Personally if I was told they make the best canvas but you have to wait a year or longer for it, I would give no more than a 10% deposit so if I got to the point I was ready to drive the jeep I could just eat that as a "teaching moment" about customer service and order one elsewhere that could DELIVER it in a couple weeks or so and move on.

Just to be fair....has ANYONE actually talked to NL, made an order and received it within 3-6 months?

NL should go the way of the east coast vendor, "he-whose-name-shall-not-appear-on-G503" or our old friend Jaap did if only to protect the sheep from getting sheared after listening to Joel's glowing recommendations.

Jeff does outstanding work with a keen eye to the details. I always refer CJ canvas seekers to him. You won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for an early style CJ2A top and you can't get satisfaction from one of the regular vendors, I can make your top for you.
