Re: Two Questions about 1997 Jeep Wrangler/ Cover & Stereo Upgrade ??
Quality replacement speakers would make an improvement but there is still
the problem of that '48 Peterbilt in the lane next to you.
I took it to mean a replacement top (not a car cover) but then what do I
know?

Re: Two Questions about 1997 Jeep Wrangler/ Cover & Stereo Upgrade ??
Thanks for the input guys......
Yes, I am talking about a car COVER , not a soft-top. I want to cover
the entire Jeep when I am not driving it.
BTW, my original post did refer to a cover. A soft-top does not cover the
car, (except that perhaps one could say that it "covers" the top 1/2 of
the car. )

The post said, "I would like a NICE quality top (cover) for this Jeep."
The gray one from 4wd.com works great.

As you can see from the picture, they make it in spice now too. After about
eight years of all-summer use (I am retired, have been for ten years, chew
on that a bit.) it is only now starting to show some wear around the edges
and grommet areas.
