My Family Jeep

You would think we would have learned a lesson by now, don’t use the Mopar cover! The weather in North Western Arkansas changes by the minute and a beautiful sunny day can turn into a thunderstorm with tornado warnings in the blink of an eye.

Thursday it was beautiful out, I reconfigured the Spider Web to spend some time in the sun and had a wonderful day. I put the Mopar cover on that night because there was no rain predicted. I woke up Friday morning and it was overcast but no rain. It started sprinkling a little bit and it dawned on me that I needed to put the top up. In the three minutes between that decision and me getting dressed the downpour started. I ran out to the Jeep, took the Mopar cover off and there was an inch of water standing on the passenger side floor and the seat was soaked. It had been raining less than five minutes! I don’t know what they were thinking when they put this on the market, it has no practical use. Why do I need a cover that is only good during dry top down conditions? Read my full review and then do yourself a favor, don’t buy it.

I’m about to purchase a Bestop All Weather Trail Cover. It has great reviews and its expensive so it has to be good, doesn’t it?

Does anyone know a good use for the Mopar cover? The only satisfaction I think I’ll get out of this product is taking it out the back, throwing it in the fire pit and watching it burn. When I do burn it I’ll be sure to post pictures

I know I’ve raved about my SpiderWeb Shade Top under my product reviews but I have to rave about it again. The weather here has finally become nice enough to go topless with highs in the mid 80’s and no rain clouds in sight. I wanted to spend some time in the sun but the top needs to stay on to keep the kids protected. The SpiderWeb came through for me again. I wrapped it underneath the roll bar and connected it to the frame in the back so that it’s doubled up. After a few test runs I have to say that it works brilliantly. I get to be topless and the kids are out of the sun, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Here are a few pictures so you can see how I’ve attached it.

We had the Jeep less than a week before my husband became obsessed with what modifications to make. I thought since we bought a Rubicon he wouldn’t be in a huge rush to start lifting, putting on larger tires, adding a winch, new bumpers, air compressor, that’s just for starters.

For all you hard core Jeep lovers don’t take this the wrong way. I don’t see the point of doing all these things this year. Don’t stereotype me! When we go off road I drive so I am not someone that drives a Jeep because I think its cute.

When it comes down to it we’re not going to be doing any serious off roading year. As wonderful as a day of mud and rocks sounds we have the two babies; live far from family and no weekend babysitters. Anything we do on the weekends is tame since our littlest one is just over 6 months. I’m all for adding a winch and other accessories that will improve our off roading experience, I just don’t see the point of doing it just to do it when there is no serious off roading in our near future.

This isn’t Jeep related, this is mama has to brag…how cute is this little guy! He is the spitting image of my husband, obviously a little crazy like daddy as well.
