Looking for options to protect my JT when i decide to remove some or all of the top and possibly the doors and a storm rolls in. So i'm looking for a full cab cover solution that protects the interior regardless of the top/door situation.

Looking for good and bad reviews of the products you've used. I'd like something that packs up nice and can be stored under the seat.

I keep the mopar rain cover on it, keep the center console and glove box locked. Only visible things are my dash cam, some ducks, and a first aid kit in the back. I just cross my fingers nobody lifts the rear seats.

I part in well light, public areas, never anywhere but my driveway or a friend's driveway for overnights.

Now i have both the mopar and the bestop covers.

The beatop cover covers more of the door well, but not as good on the rear windows
bar.

The mopar covers the rear window great, but doesn’t go all the way to the bottom of the doors.

I've heard something about those...i need to find out what that's all about.

Never thought about that, but seriously, no one has made a lock for that yet?

Any pictures illustrating that problem? I'm usually a Bestop guy but function supersedes loyalty.

I've seen a lockable replacement for the under seat storage, but I haven't gotten one yet. Not sure where I saw it though...perhaps somebody else can chime in for both of us.

That one removes itself if you drive off.

Lockable compartments under the rear seat are an option you can order, I have them. I assume you can order the parts and DIY, it would be a super simple install (4 bolts, maybe 15 min). There are other aftermarket companies that sell lockable bins as well. I like the Mopar ones are matched to my key and the openings match the 60/40 split. I don't have my Jeep with me today so i can't take a picture, but let me know if you'd like to see one and I'll post it tonight.

Good to know. I was referring to the aftermarket ones, I didn't realize Mopar sold locking storage.
