Cover to fit over my Full Roof Rack
Can anyone with a D2 and Full Roof Rack (I have an SD rack) recommend a cover that will actually fit over this thing. I'll soon have an HD front bumper too, so will need to factor that in. Tired of my Disco baking in the sun all day. All the plastic, the paint, window seals (and everything else) has really taken a beating over the last few years as it's no longer my daily driver (at least when it was I'd have it parked in a parking garage at work during the day). Now it just sits at home outside in the elements all day; most days. And no chance of it going in the garage either. I've contacted a few car cover manufacturers and have yet to find someone that makes one to fit. I may have to look into having a custom one made (although that'll be expensive for sure), but thought I'd first reach out to the forum and see if anyone was in a similar situation... If anyone was using a cover over their D2 and Full Roof Rack.

Yeah my roof is oxidized pretty bad. I'm getting it painted soon. Nevada sun sucks.
Maybe look into one of the older full size truck covers, they are freakin' huge and might fit over your truck well.

Yeah, thought about trying that as a last resort. Anything is better then what I have now; nothing. Ideally I'd like to find one that is actually made for the D2 and includes an additional 12" in height. I bought a cheap-ish one on eBay a while back that just ripped as I was trying to force it over the roof rack.
Maybe a bubble top Van cover for $60

If you think that is too small, you can always go with a 24' RV cover for $150. It should be plenty tall.

I checked out the site and Covercraft offers a custom-made one for the Disco... but it is a little pricey. Perhaps they can extend it a further 12" down since it is a custom-made cover

Thanks guys for the input/ideas... Going to call covercraft and see just how expensive the custom one would be. If too much for my wallet, then I like the idea of the bubble top van cover. Surely that would be tall enough and the length is more than I need (according to the description; where I didn't see height listed, other than stating 24" bubble top). I'll just plan to bungee it down at the corners. Thanks again...
