Default Best Covers

Hello, As it is warming up a little out here in Nor Cal I've been thinking of pulling my top and doors , but since it is also the rainy season I will be needing a cover. I've found these two on Quadratec and was wondering if anyone had any experience with either and also if you have experience with another product that you like that will cover with the top and the doors off post as well. Thanks in advance.

Ditto Bestop Cover is a great product, very thick and watertight when roof and doors off.

I can only speak to the Bestop Trail Cover, but it is an excellent cover. It even works with a variety of door/top/Duster configurations ...





Mine has even survived severe hail ...

Bestop. And if I keep the top on, but doors off, you can still use it.

Right on, the Bestop seems to be the overwhelming victor so far. I've only heard good things about the Bestop brand. But I figured I'd inquire into quality because the Covercraft cover was more expensive and I couldn't figure out why?

Thank you fellow Jeepers for providing me insight yet again.

Default dont buy smittybuilt

i bought the cheaper one (smittybuilt ) and you ca only use it with the top off and i don't think it will work with the soft top down it has to me off. it will work with the doors on or off but fits the roll bar like the trek top. the only good thing was it was only 80 shipped new and it does keep her dry just the having to completely remove the top thing sucks!!!

I bought the Bestop and I'm happy with it. It's well built, fits nicely, and it's waterproof. "Water resistant" often isn't very much so.

I did consider the Covercraft for two reasons: 1)smaller to store, and 2)color to match vehicle. Price was the main reason why I didn't go with the Covercraft, but I also wondered if "smaller" also meant "less durable". Can anybody out there comment on the quality of the Covercraft from first hand experience?

go for the BESTtop... paying a little more saves you in the end.
