I'm working with a local marine canvas shop to try to re-create an essential item I had for my Jeep back in college. I don't have a garage and spend way too much time taking the door tops on & off as well as rolling up/down the sides for an open air feel on my soft top Tithonus. It usually rains every 3-4 days here so I'm constantly stressing about the weather and putting everything back on before a shower. I'd also like to be able to take the top totally off and throw something over rather than spend the 30 minutes it takes to put it back on as a rainstorm approaches.
The idea is to make a durable, simple & hopefully cheap waterproof rain cover. I'm curious if anyone else would be interested. I might be able to get a cost reduction if we order more than one. The estimate is free and I'm hoping it will come in around the $250 mark.
The measurements would be taken off my Tithonus cage, so it may be able to work on SW trucks with Safety Devices external cages, or roof racks.

I've also reached out to the Rain gear company & GR8Tops to see if they'd do a Defender, but it would be tough without them actually having the truck at their shop to fit.

I've attached a couple of pictures of what I'm shooting for. Would like it to have elastic straps for the rear and hooks for the sills to keep it from blowing off. Probably go with a PVC-type canvas and would also see what they could do as far as a storage bag as well.
Let me know if you're interested. Will go by there next week for an estimate/measuring. If the price is above $300 (which it very well may be) then I'm likely to be out.
I'm also posting over at DSource to see if there is any interest there as well.
