Does anyone with an LJ have a good recommendation for a cab cover? 4WP's website states this about the Smittybilt #1161 "THIS PART CUSTOM FITS YOUR 2006 Jeep Wrangler (LJ) Unlimited Rubicon". Well I ordered it and it certainly did not fit. I just confirmed with Smittybilt Customer Service that they actually don't make a cab cover that fits an LJ. I've read that GR8TOPS makes one but it is quite expensive. Not sure if any other vendors are still making anything like that for the LJ.

Thanks
Jim
 
I have a Rain Gear cover. They offer a cover that accounted for my KC light bar but I'd have one if I didn't have the light bar. It's made with a heavy weight material not a packable-jacket type light weight material.

When you say it didn't fit, are you trying to install it with a top (hard or soft) on?
I don't know of anyone who makes a rain cover that'll go over a top
 
Rain gear here too

I’m running without hard top or soft top for now. I’m using a cheap billowy full cover from Amazon at the moment but was hoping for something more substantial. I was excited by the $50 Smittybilt (incorrect) one during their 1/2 off sale but seems I’ll need to lay out some more $$ for one that actually fits.
 
I have one, came with the jeep. Not sure who makes it or how it fits. I just got my hardtop off and weather will be dry for a week.. I'll pull it out this weekend.
 
Can’t speak for the LJ but the rain gear fits the TJ really nice in my opinion….nice heavy material too and the water just beads on it.
