FJ40 Cover

[CruisinGA]

Need a cover for my permanently topless FJ40 (full metaltech cage).

Coolcruisers has one for $100. I've found similar Jeep covers as cheap at $50.

Anyone have the CCOT cover? Is it waterproof? I'm more concerned about keeping water off to prevent deterioration. The paint is already shot.

I have the ccot one that was a gift. I leave my soft top on but with the rear windows rolled up. If there is no top water puddles at the cage and seeps thru. It might work for you if you have a family bikini top pulled tight to keep the water from puddling between the cage.

The family bikini top is a good idea.
I was thinking that I would make a PVC bow or something similar to keep the back from pooling.

I use one from California Car Covers, the Noah one if I remember, they are a great company and I've been more than happy.

Maybe throw a sheet of plywood or something on top of the cage? Cheap corrugated roofing from Lowes? Then throw the cover on.

put a dowel rod or two to make hi points so the water cant pool


or build a garage

The plywood is the backup solution... I do that now with the brown tarp I use. Trying to lessen the amount that I "redneck up" the neighborhood with a real car cover.

Really interested in experience with the CCOT cover, or suggestions on other covers that are waterproof.

Mine is under ccot cover for 300 days a year in rain and snow. My only problem with it was the pooling. A few years ago someone posted a link to the exact one from walmart for about half the price.

I use the sister designs one and have no had water leak through but it does pool in between the cage. Its rip stop nylon so packs down small but the sun has faded it a bunch since last season might have to treat it with some kind of uv protector this year

Who is "sister designs"?

 

[cruiserjunkie]

That is thier mud name search trail cover sorry my tablet is too stupid to let me link the thread

 

[CruisinGA]

The sister designs cover looks nice, little spendy and I think full coverage is better for me since this is a storage cover.

Ordered the CCOT cover.

Cancel and reorder from Walmart. I thought I had posted this in one of my replies

Awesome, thanks.

The walmart link in your earlier reply went to a different walmart page, I searched around on the walmart site but couldn't find the cover.
