outdoor car cover

Post by Bill_F »

My jeep will be coming down to my house soon, no garage to keep it in so it will be stored outside. Anyone have an idea where to get a good cover for the jeep, needs to be water decently water proof

Sam's sells a portable garage for less than $250... You could set one of those up and be well protected except for snow...

Harbor Frieght also sells them...

Thanks for the idea but I live in a condo so that is no good.

Beachwood Canvas and Surplus City sell covers of various styles for jeeps.

My experience with car covers or tarps is eventually they will rub the paint off where ever they contact the paint. Not ideal but they work!

Ok I order the cover from Beechwood. Remind me not to order from them again. It is going to take 4-6 weeks to recieve it. This is not a custom ordered cover, it is something they advertise in there catalog, they should have them on hand ready to go. I went with them becasue I liked the windshield and top down design and I spoke to others that had other covers that I didnt thing would meet my needs. Now I wish I had gone with other covers. Not to mention there customer service sucks. Last time I EVER order from them, I will stick with the venders I always use. It didnt even take 4-6 weeks to get my seat covers from weebee and they had to make them.

I usally find them at Flea Markets not for JEEP but they serve the purpose and at around $25 to $35 bucks ya cant beat the price, I stopped dealing with them a long time ago bad attitude and high prices I use New Life Resources but you will wait because they dont have a large operation like the other two, and they wont stamp there name all over the canvas like the other two either.

It is the last time I will order from them that is for sure. Weebee didnt put there name all over the seat covers, just on little tags that where easy to take off.

This conversation has raised a question for me. I plan to buy a rear seat and new seat cushions and canvas when I return from my deployment. The front seats are fine but are either missing the cushions or have the old horsehair/spring/vinyl seat covers giving out. Originally I was going to use Beechwood as there location is close to my family in NJ. If they are overpriced and a pain to deal with I would prefer another more reliable/better vendor that is just as accurate. Suggestions? Weebee?
Thanks.
