Hi I need a cover for my Jeep. It sits in the driveway a lot and I don't have a garage. I need something waterproof that will protect my paint (giggle) and my soft top. Also, when I take the soft top off, I'd like to have some rain protection. I'm looking for a top that I can lock onto the Jeep somehow, one that covers the ENTIRE Jeep, something durable with at least 3 years of use (outside), and under $200.
Can I get some recommendations on brands, etc pretty please.
Thank u! (I have a Wrangler....)

I don't any specific brands but defintely Bestop would have something and I would look for something with UV protection and also that the cover breathes when it's on the Jeep so that it doesn't trap a bunch moisture in the "tent". There are 2 varietys, the "Cab cover", and the ones that are full body covers. If I can find the brand/company that makes em I'll post it up!
Will ;D

You're gonna pay out the ying yang for a quality one with the characteristics you're looking for. I'm on the market for one too. Probably at least another $100 or so. I'd like to take my soft top off and LEAVE it off, but until I find a good cover that provides full rain protection, that wont happen.

Well, let me know if you run across some recommendations....I'd actually like to do the same. Have the trail cover which is perfect for that, other than it will leak water in the Jeep and the doors aren't covered, so it only works for the short term.

Cheryl bought me this one last summer: www.quadratec.com/products/11081_109_07.htmIt is a cheaper one, so I wouldn't expect more than 2-3 years out of it if it's covering your Jeep everyday. So far it has held up for me though, I'd say it's been in use about half the time. Mostly all winter long, and just sometimes in the summer. It has not let water in ever. I had a smaller cab cover from the same company that I bought through Quadratec. After one summer it deteriorated. I called Q-tec, they sent me another one that day and told me to send this one back in the same box, which also included a prepaid UPS label. So far, the new one has been much better.

Nothing hillbilly about it. Have 3 in the driveway like that...HOA loves me! can't see spending $100 plus to cover a Jeep that is rusting anyway. When I can hit up Northern and pick up a 3 pack of 10x12 heavy duty (silver) tarps for about $35 those fancy covers make less and less sense.
BTW the YJ isn't rusting (yet) and it also has a "hillbilly" cover. Folds up nice and neat and can go wheelin' with the Jeep....

Be sure to tye it down real good or it will balloon up and be in the neighboors yard. Say that a lot down at TECH in the Student parking lot.

Uhhh, they look great and the pricing is good, but I dont see anyway to buy them online. They have a Cart and Checkout, but no way to put any items in your cart. Am I missing something?

Try emailing them. Some of the links work. Just depends on what Jeep your buying for.
