Why do you need a cover with the doors and top on?
If you leave your windows out, which I do, the MOPAR cover is great. Takes all of 2 minutes to get it off in the morning and I am off to work....2 more minutes and its back on.

BaltChief,
Do you have an opinion on the covercraft? I thought you had that one...??...

Is it worth the extra $50-60 ???

It is excellent for doors on or off and roof off. The wife has the Bestop and I have the covercraft. If I was to do it again I would still spend the extra bucks for the covercraft. I think it is put together better and the material is much easier to work with, it stays soft and supple where the Bestop is a little stiffer and harder to fold up and put back in the bag. As for functionality, both Bestop and Covercraft do a great job of keeping water and wind out, thjey both have been through some nasty storms the past few weeks with no ill effects.

Some suggestions for the Bestop is to add length to the straps, and I was thinking of having a seamstress add slits for the mirrors, but at that point, I'll have more than the price of the Covercraft...

Thanks for the input. Now I need to continue to overthink this!!!!!!

I just ordered the Smitty last night, so I can't vote yet. However, from what I have read the bestop was a little on the tight side for unlimiteds, and 4wd had 10% off so I got the smitty for $90.

I'll update when it comes in...

Keep me posted MOWrangler.

Default covers

I have the bestop and at first it would not cover the rear section , but with rain and time it stretches , also if it rains real bad the cover fills up over the main section , but no leaks and i have killed my first set of wiper blades....which kind of pisses me off....bestop is good in my book
