Since I used to live in Hawaii and now in Florida, I am able to spend
most of the year without the top on the vehicle. Well in Hawaii
it rained everyday and here in Florida it rains when it wants to.
Now I know if I leave the top down it's going to rain, but I don't want
the hassle of having to put the top up all the time. I also wanted
something so that I could cover the vehicle up at night for those overnight
trail rides. Bestop makes some nice covers so I decided to pick
up one of their trail covers. This cover has a soft inner liner,
and repels water.
Additional
Parts:
Cover Bag
Tools
Needed:
None
Installation:
1. This is designed to be installed with the soft top down and the door
surrounds removed. I have put it on with the door surrounds
still installed and it is a tight fit. I have noticed a little
stretching at the stitching points.
2.
First remove the cover from the bag. Now the bag is optional,
but makes for a convenient way to store and carry your cover.
3.
Sort out the front end and the rear end of the cover. The rear
has the 3 elastic loops to go around your spare tire, and your tail
lights.
4. Now just lay the cover up over your spare tire, right on top of your
folded soft top. Leave the elastic straps exposed so that you
can hook them over the tail lights and spare tire. Once you
have them secured, just pull the cover up and over.
5. Be careful of the side hooks, they are rubber coated, but you don't
want to bang the side of the vehicle to much.
6. Now pull the side straps down and hook them under the edge of the
rocker guards. On the others you would just slip them over the
bottom edge of the rocker.
7. Along the back slip the plastic edges underneath the rail for the
soft top. There are 2 per side.
8. By the mirrors there is a grommet. This was so that you could
attach a small cable and lock through the old style mirrors.
9.
Then just go back around and make certain everything is pulled down
and that your windshield wipers are on the outside of the front.
