Anybody have the Bestop trail cover for their JK? Is it well made? Easy to get on and off? Does it fold up small enough that it's out of the way? I like the Bestop better than the Mopar because the Bestop covers the doors too, so it would work when the doors are off

Weather changes quickly around here, and I hate putting the top up for a 5 minute shower, only to take it down again later. I figured a trail cover would be perfect as long as it's easy to get on and off.

Opinions? Yes? No? What do you think of it?

Thanks

I have it, and I love it. It comes with a handy little canvas bag to stow it in, but unless you are a pro @ oragami or have the patience of solomon, you will do what I do, and roll it into a ball and toss it in my shed when I leave. It takes me less than 5 minutes maybe as few as 3 to put it on, and maybe 2 minutes to take it off. Its perfect. (Although I have had mine for a week now, and that "New Canvas" plastic like smell is still kinda strong... but hey I am just picky)

The Bestop cover is a heavy duty top. I have the 2-door version and it provides good protection doors off! Easy to put on with just a couple of buckles and tuck the edges around the soft top rim.

undertow119 - What does "Region 1" mean?

Why not get a full car cover?

I've been thinking about getting the Besttop trail cover, but why not just cover the whole Jeep? Does the snug fit of the trail cover keep the water from pooling? Seems like the only advantage I can think of.

Snug is the right word. Man it's tight. water tight?... yeah I would park it in the rain with that top on....

It's a reference to the region coding on DVD movies - Region 1 is USA.

...and you didn't ask, but just in case you're curious, "undertow119" is a reference to the Genesis song "Undertow", which has a refrain at 1:19 which perfectly describes my philosphy of life.
