Can anyone recommend a:

1) Full cover
2) better than just a cheap blue/gray tarp, but not an arm and a leg
3) the store to buy from
4) the Brand
5) and the approx price

The reason I'm asking is so I don't waste my time going to pep boys, walmart, etc, buy a cover, just to find out it doesn't fit, and return it.

I currently am unable to store my hard top, so I just remove the doors. I have the Bestop trail cover...awesome btw, but with the hardtop on, it won't fit.

My intention is for the cover is to:

1) keep as much crap out
2) more of a deterance against stupid people and theft. yes I know, if someone wants it, they will get it. But if they rip this one just to find out there is nothing there, I won't have spent a lot of money.

When the hardtop is off, I use the Best top trail cover, did I mention it is awesome, cause it can also hold its form against light rain. With the hard top on, I'm not worried about that with a "throw over" cover.

 

If you're looking for a full cover go for the Mopar. Mine is on my JK as we speak (expecting a hurricane to land overnight tonight, no garage). It fits nice, material is fairly soft and wont scratch your paint, has a hole for the antenna to poke through, form fitted to your mirrors and ties underneath the center of your JK, jeep logo on the hood. I'm not sure what it will go for in the U.S but I paid $200 for one here, it was the only one I could find that would fit for sure.

 

I have a covercraft that I paid $350 for. It is suposed to be custom fit. Not so much. It looked like one of the Pac Man ghosts when we first put it on and it wouldn't stay put for anything in the winds of Idaho. Now with the Gobi rack on top, it fits like a champ and I'm not having any issues at all. It is super light and provides all the protection it is supposed to. I use it daily. Would I buy it again? Well ....

 

Thank you all for your responses, but as I was driving to the store, it hit me. I CAN still use the Bestop Trail cover. I just folded the rear section (that slants) under itself and hooked the 6 fasteners. It worked!

So, I asked the question earlier for any recommendations on a full cover.

I am unable to store my hard top so I just take off the doors, but I still wanted some protection/deterance against "tempted" people and crap.

Anyway, as I was driving to the store to shop for one, when it hit me that I may still be able to use the Trail Cover. So I ran home and it worked.

I just keep the hardtop on to include the front pannels. Throw the trail cover on and fold the rear section under itself. I then hook the 6 fasteners an whoa-la.

Is it a air tight fit, no, but it still provides a deterance for "tempted" vandals, thieves and cats. But it is however a tight enough fit that you can not get even an open palmed hand through...unless of course you unfasten it. But rain, snow, leaves won't get in.

I'll post some pics. The picture and fit looks crappy cause I threw it on in under 3 min and was excited that it fit and saved at least $60 I didn't bother getting the camera so I used my cell phone. After I ran and got dinner (yes had to take it off again) I made it fit better.

Bestop....you owe me

 

So here are the pictures. After I spent a few more seconds on it, I was able to get a really good fit. These pictures are of me throwing it on just to see if it was even possible.

 

my besttop trail cover is my favorite jeep mod purchase to date. LOVE IT

 

Hey I just found out that the mopar cover is waterproof too. It's pouring out but the jeep is still dry lol.
