Review on 🌧️ All-Weather Trail Cover: Bestop 8103809 Charcoal - Ultimate Protection Solution by Evan Larson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

great product Surprisingly easy to put on.

All summer long I've been running in a safari top only with my 2005 Wrangler Unlimited. I usually walk barefoot as it occasionally rains in the afternoon. I mostly leave the jeep outside and only occasionally make room in the 1 car garage when a big storm hits. I ordered a Bestop Trail tent and the day I received it the rain and wind were the worst I can remember in Colorado. It was raining at over an inch an hour, the wind was blowing at 35mph with gusts up to 75. This lasted for over 2 hours and then non-stop rain and wind all night. In the morning, the interior of the jeep was perfect with one small exception. . There was a VERY SMALL puddle of water in my Weathertec floor mats, on the driver's side where the wind was blowing against the jeep. A small eyelet hole in the side of the lid (advertised as a cable lock) lets light rain through. However, I was amazed that this was all that happened after that storm. I can put the lid on by myself in 2-3 minutes. The only thing that frustrates me is that I'm blasting the top with just one person. Often it is wet, soaked from the rain the night before or covered with condensation. Even when it is dry, I find it very difficult to fold it even with two people. I gave up trying to put it in the bag that came with it and settled on an unused cheap gym bag from my garage. Jeep by tying an elastic band around the spare tire to hold the other end while you struggle with folding. Folding aside, this was one of the best things I've bought for a Jeep. I've had a lot of people come by and ask me about it, a lot of people said they would buy it. That looks great!

Pros
  • Hands-free kit
Cons
  • So far, so good
