anyone have experience with cab covers like these? thinking about purchasing one but there are so many and i'm not looking to spend a fortune on one, it would just be for emergency rain storms or work days when i don't drive my JKU and doors and top are off.

I bought the Bestop Trail Cover from Morris 4x4 and have no complaints.......the cover fits well and takes less than 3 minutes to put it on.......Durable and well made.......I recommend this cover to anyone.

Cheers :beer:

i was told the RR covers were weak materials and tear easy.... is that true with yours? and hows the fitment? does it flap in the wind or fit tight like the other pics show?

Im sorry, I dont mean to hack your thread, but I didnt want to open a new thread for a quick question and its kind of in the same category. So... Im looking at getting a new top. I am just looking at a "Replace a Top". My current hardware is still in decent condition. I see the tops that are a "Black Diamond", Isnt that the same material as the factory top? Im trying not to spend too much, but Im also looking at the Twill top so I can get new tinted windows as well. I currently have a factory 4dr soft top, but its getting close to needing replacement. Plus my plastic windows are pretty scratched up and pretty damn brittle. I actually cracked my rear and had to tape it with clear duck tape. I dont want the same "Factory" style material. Thanks in advance and again sorry for the thread hack Combat..

No worries on the thread hack, I also will be in the market for a new soft top probably by the end of summer. i haven't done to much research on the different soft tops because when it comes time i am going to buy either the Bestop Trek Top NX or just the Bestop Trek Top. I like the options they come with to run as either a bikini top or full soft top just buy removing the rear windows, and for the non NX model for the top to just roll back for open air, i have a soft top and a separate bikini top and its not worth the hassle to switch back and forth based on weather or travels.
To answer the question on materials, the OEM replacement Mopar soft tops top don't give an exact material name as they just state its a tough 3-ply material...:idontknow: There are a lot of different tops out there these days so i would just find one that fits your budget and your liking.:thumb:

Right, I was lookin at the replace a top since the factory top already has the flip back drv/pass portion. I just need a new skin, I like the twill that is the NX. Its nice and Ive heard its pretty dang quiet.

well quiet is nice i guess, i always have my tube doors on in the summer and my lady likes my hard top for the winter so i never really noticed the noise, plus all the demo i did in iraq made me pretty deaf so...:idontknow:. anyways post some pics when you get your new top and let me know what you chose and how you like it over the OEM one please so i have reference when i go to buy mine.

Nah I got out 2 years ago, did my 4 years and was going through pre deployment screening for my 2nd deployment and the doctor made me non deployable due to radiation exposure from 1st deployment so I got out on time instead if extending my contract. How about you? U still in? I was a combat engineer

Is your Smittybilt kinda the same material as the factory top? I like the Smitty, but I want to get one thats more like sail cloth or the new Bestop Twill. I really like the twill because of how black it is..

No it's more like a light canvass with a felt material in the bottom side.
