Alternatives to Cab Covers

[PyrPatriot]

So given the shortage of cab covers, places saying they are at least 30 days away from getting anything in, what are some ways you guys are keeping the inside of your JT dry? We have been fairly dry here, and are expected to be so for a couple weeks. But in the forecast are a couple spots of rain, like 40% for an hour window. Doubt it will actually happen (welcome to KY), but the other day (before I took my top and doors off) we had a huge downpour unexpectidly. So, are who do not have covers and ride our Jeeps naked doomed to simply use a tarp and bricks to keep things dry? If so, what size tarp?

You could get a universal vehicle cover or go old school and throw a tarp over it.

I am working through the same issue. I’m wondering about a universal cover as an option.

I really liked the factory seats in my old YJ. They were the vynil/clothish material and were just about waterproof

Tarp and Bunjee cords are the way to go for the budget minded folks like myself.

With all of the stock being low on covers, this might be our only option for a while!

What size tarp did you with with? Any tips on making it work well?

I guess if you want errr, rather, need it to rain in SoCal, just take the tops and doors off your freshly washed Jeep. Ive had to put my doors and tops back on 3 times this month alone. Last year I had them off from late June to late September and only put everything back on once. Looks like I’ll be buying a cover as well.
Funny thing, a couple weeks ago after the rain stopped, sun came out, no clouds, the weather forecast sunny skies for the next 10 days, I took the tops/doors off, the next day it started raining again so I used a blue tarp for the day.
I feel for all you that go through this erratic weather change on a regular.
Who has the best prices nowadays?
I think the lowest I saw was $175, not too shabby, but I cant recall where I saw that.
