best bronco cover?

[lowpressure]

alright, I just moved and I don't have a shop or a garage until my other house sells.......my damn bronco is getting a little too much "patina" where I don't want it. so who makes a water proof cover that will hang down far enough to cover a lifted bronco?

Steer clear of the one LMC sells. I bought one last fall for my bronco. I went to use it this past friday , it had never been out of the box. Aside from not fitting well at all it also came conveniently torn in three different places.

I have had the one that TBP sells for about 3 years now. Its works well and fits good. Although I do use a blue tarp over it that comes down just over the back, about half way down on the hood, and down to the door handles on the side. Unless the cover is plastic like a tarp or its Gore-tex it aint really waterproof.

ive had the one from toms for about two years and it is starting to fall apart a little bit. I believe a lot of it has to do with the fact that my neighbors sprinklers get it wet every day.

I bought one from Tom's thinking I would use it, but I moved shortly after buying it and now have a garage. So I'll sell you mine, never used. This is the one I have: http://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product/car-cover-custom-fit-for-66-77-bronco-wfactory-spare-tire-new. I'll send it to you for $175 including shipping. PM me if you want it.

All of the vendor covers are about the same. I've used several and have 2 covers I purchased from Empire covers. One for my 78 and raptor. The EB lives inside because it will fit. The covers are used everyday and last about 3 years then they just kinda start falling apart. They are only water resistant for about 6 months and then they soak up the water like a sponge. The covers cost about $300 each. Buy a good cover but dont expect it to last forever or be waterproof.

I have this one from WH http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/Bronco_Cover/bronco_covers
Mine doesn't see much outside use but it does cover the entire Bronco like it shows in the picture. If it is stored outside for any extended time I would use a tarp over it like Seattle66 stated.

I have one from wild horses and it fits really good. It has seen some major wind storms and not come off or ripped. It is not water proof but it does keep the sun and dirt off well. As other have said if I was going to store a bronco out side for a long period of time I would also put a tarp over the cover.

WH cover is MONEY. By far best cover I have ever had, including expensive muscle car covers. We had 3" of rain the other day. I popped cover off hood and it was bone dry! The front was cupped a little and when I pulled it about a gallon of water that was trapped poured on my foot. It breathes, unlike a tarp.. Do not tarp your truck. It will trap moisture and rust it out...
With my spare tire on back fit is very tight, and a strong wind, I mean gust of 40, took it off. It does come with a strap to tie under vehicle, which was not on when it fell off.
No brainer...

thanks yall, with the price being what it is and everyone saying that they are having similar luck out of it as the more expensive ones I'm gonna pull the trigger on the wh cover.

Good call on the WH cover. I lived in DC for a couple of years, and had my rig out in the snow and rain. The WH cover works great. While it isn't waterproof, it does breathe well. Even after a hard rain, take the cover off the next day, and water spots are limited.

Thanks for the thread as I won't need to research it now when I get the body back on mine.

I got mine from Walmart. They sell some pretty nice ones for like $50 and has lasted a almost 2 years so far. The one I got is for a medium SUV and covers well. Homeowners association made me cover it while I rebuild. Hopefully it will not need it for much longer.

Make your own.

There used to be a guy on here who made a cover just like that, Saddle-something;D

Seriously, just joking. For the new guys, He is a crook.

10-4. Couldn't find a place to buy one, so my father-in-law and I made one using sunbrella material. Very expensive , but this stuff lasts forever.
