Rain cap

[willapuswallapus]

Thought I'd share a cheap solution. I had been researching how to keep the cab dry when the back hard top is off, and it happens to rain since we can't take the top with us folded up. The gap between the doors and rollbar has been a concern too. After calculating that the gladiator cab is about 7 " shorter than that of a 2 door Jk, I have bought a $50 Jk rain cap to use on the gladiator. Here are some pictures of the cap on and the top off. Hope this will help anyone else who wants to save some money.

MOPAR and Rain Gear both have rain covers for the Gladiator. I have the MOPAR cover… What’s coincidental and fabulous, is it fits my TJ nearly perfectly too!

Those look nice but much pricier. Hoping to never need it

The cover has been worth it. Our TJ has been sans doors sides and rear panels (I leave the top on safari style for sun) now since Easter. I’ll toss the cover on if the weather forecasts rain.

Or a tarp.

Buy a soft top

I have a 5 layer cover for my JL 2 door that I have been happy with for those times I have the hard top and doors removed.

It was quite affordable, not real bulky and seems reasonably weather proof.

I see that Master top now offers a similar 5 layer top at a reasonable price ($80) for the JT.
If I had a hard top JT, I would definitely pick one up

I ended up with a VERY bulky and expensive Rain Gear one for my JT as the Master top cover was not available a year ago when I bought it.
I also don't believe the Master top cover fits with the soft top door surrounds on, but that is not an issue for hard tops.

Agree about the bulk of the rain gear. It's one reason I probably will only use it for overnight use and not at work, as it takes 2 people to set up.
