Default Car cover!!!!!

Can anyone suggest a good car cover for these beasts? Doesn’t need to be “form fitted”, but it needs to fit. Needs to cover rack and lights with a lift. I have a universal cover that I had on an expedition and it’s not big enough. Thanks!

Mr OverRover, any experience with them? What size? Do they fit over roof rack and rack lights?

I just got my car cover from carcover.com. Very good quality for outdoor.

I have used a $40 surplus rectangular army parachute for 20 years. Pure ripstop nylon, excess cords cut off.. Held on place with hefty magnets. Perhaps it works for you. Believe there is different sizes, mine is huge.

Check mine out - I had Covercraft do a custom one (directly with Covercraft not a reseller) that included:

- Rear spare (they already have this on their D2 pattern)
- Front brush guard
- Safety devices safari rack (it has enough room for lights I'd say)

Note... when you use ANY car cover with the roof rack, water builds up on top. Kind of sucks. I rigged up a fun little pool noodle understructure between the cover and the rack to prevent water building up last year when I parked one of my D2's outside during the rainy Oregon season.

They have the pattern... if you need a ref # I can find it.

Fair warning - it was expensive.

I want one. How much are we talking for it? $1k? If you could send along that ref# that would be super. I have the exact same spec.

It was something like $650-700 all in, I got the "weather shield HP" fabric.

I don't see a pattern # or anything for the pattern they created for me BUT -- the ref # S5727120 was given to me when I confirmed, they said they'd save the pattern. Perhaps give them that # -- I'd reach out to customer service rather than just ordering on the website first.
