I am looking on the Quadratec website and they have two different cab covers. One is made by Mopar ($129) and the other Rampage($39). Is there a reason why one is so much cheaper? Which would you recommend? Is this the best site to order off? It seems they change $25 for ground shipping. I have a 2008 4dr.

I am not familiar with the rugged ridge cover. You don't need it shipped if you get it from the dealer, just tell them you found it for 95 online and mine gave it to me for that. Worst case list at the dealer is 129.

i went ahead and ordered the rampage one i din't want that huge jeep logo being a magnet to a theif so i figured wth only 40 bucks if someone swipes it i am not out 140. As far as the doors off i don't plan to do that too often unless i am camping or something the trail cover looks nice and all but rather bulky from what i have read in other posts esp storing it since in the 2 door space is at a premium. If your hardcore doors off kinda person that may suit your needs tho but for me i just need a cover to keep the dust out at work so that i don't have to fold the top up when i get their half asleep in the AM, and to try to stop the top from leaking when up till i find another dealer to go to. Thanks for the replies tho they helped like they always do on this site.

Have you considered buying one via the internet and having it shipped to you? I got mine for $95
Just checked Quadratec and probably that's what I am going to do order it online.

Just wanted to update all that were curious about the 40 dollar rampage cab cover got mine monday fits like a glove top up or down came with a carry bag and is waterproof. It well worth the 40 bucks spent and not huge jeep logo on it to entice a theif and if someone does lift it your only out 40 bucks instead of 130.

Here is a link to the Rampage cover on quadratec's web site.

http://www.quadratec.com/products/11181_111_07.htm

I just ordered one myself last night. I am not planning on keeping the doors over, so the cabin cover works perfectly on the nice weekends.

I borrowed the Bestop full cover from my friend 2 weeks ago...and I found it was heavy and awkward to put on by myself.

Ok. I would like one that covers the door area. Does anyone know if the Bestop can be used with the top down and not completely taken off?

i always forget to take pictures when i do this stuff but as far as the mods i have i have the RR mirror brackets on all the time with factory mirrors is stock location and everything fits sung as a bug albeit the skid row top prop would come in handy for keep the droop out from rain collecting over front seat area cover fits nice goes into the bag pretty easy with good folding of course one downfall is it is kinda loose over the rear area behind the seats without the top on so that could be a problem with heavy rain and no door covers with this top either but it serves it's purpose was on all day today in the sun and rain not a drop leaked and no dust inside well spent 40 bucks will take a picture later
