x4 on the trail cover. I have one, its great. Depending on how you dress for work, you will want to be careful when putting it on. Mine gets dirty rubs on my clothes sometimes when I'm putting it on.

Mine bailed me out on the trail a few times... I quickly threw it over in the picture. It actually fits perfectly.



Oh, I got mine back in the bag. You just have to lay it out flat and fold carefully along the seams, then roll it up real tight. It takes a few minutes, but it can be done.

It took me a few tries, but I have mastered the art of re-stuffing it in the bag. Like JKRocker said, has to be laid flat and folded carefully. The biggest issue I still have it that stupid handle sewn over the middle of the bag opening. But that silly issue aside, well worth the investment!

It's been a while. Any new options/input?

I'm looking for a cover for my 2-door that has good water protection and covers the door gap when the doors are off, but will still fit with the doors on. I LOVED my Raingear cover for my old LJ, but it looks like they still haven't got around to making one for the JKs.

Go with the Besttop one it costs more but holds up super well, mine still looks brand new and I've gotten really fast at folding it up when I pull it off now. The quality on it is second to none.

I gave up on Raingear last Summer....the JK has been out 4 years and still no cover? Great product for my TJ, but they missed the boat on the JK.

Bestop all the way. I tried a smittybuilt, it was so small and poorly made, I tore it right out of the box trying to get it on. Sent it back for the Bestop. It even fits over the Trektop safari top portion.

Throw the storage bag away, what a PITA.



To make putting the cover back on easier...simply pull it back starting at the windshield.



Let it fall into the back trunk area similar to folding up the soft top




Fold the excess side material in and it lays on the floor back there nicely allowing storage on top of it and ready to pull back up into place when you want to put it back on. Simply reverse the process.



It rained all night and this morning. The Jeep is totally dry inside.

I want one for my 2dr as well but would like to save some cash on it.... I'm only using when we go camping so animals and stuff don't get in. How about the rampage or rugged ridge one or any other cheap brand
