The Bestop is actually less expensive than the Covercraft.

Thanks for the advise guys, I picked up the Bestop cover last weekend at the 4 wheel parts show in San Mateo w/ the show discount. I tried it out on Sunday afternoon for fit and in my opinion it will do the trick perfectly. Keep the rain out while I'm out hiking and keep the raccoons out while camping.

If you have your doors on, how does the Bestop cover go over the mirrors?

Just fold the mirrors in. It'll fit.

X 5? Bestop.

I used it in Florida last summer. It worked great but after I used it a few months a puddle started building in the middle - used mine for about four months. After I put a bikini top on it quit building large fabric stretching puddles. Anyhow - I like it, and as far as having hte doors on, I've relocated my mirrors but the fabric has a 'pouch", or expanded spot on the side to compensate for the mirror.

Didn't read the last few posts... Congrats on the cover, you'll like it.

Default Don't buy the smitty

I bought the Smitty because it was cheaper. I've only put it on a few times & it has two tears, one at a seam and one at the front strap.

I have the bestop one and it is well worth the money. It keeps my jeep nice and dry with the top and the doors off.
