Sport bar covers

Anyone know where I can get a padded cover for the stock sportbar on my 72 cj5?

 

Im curious as well being I'd like to get one for my 74

 

plan on using foam pipe insulation on mine.

 

I thought about that as well and then making a cover to fit. I found a hardware/plumbing supply store that has the 2" insulation a little pricey @ 1.10 a foot.

 

Summit Racing or most any 4x4 shop

FWIW: I doubt you'll find any under $1.10 p/f

 

Go to Wal-Mart, back in the camping section they sell closed cell sleeping pads, that is what I used on mine. $5.00 for enough to do my cage. It is a piece about 2'x6'.

 

Hey guys new to forum but have been doing tons of research over past few months to get my 72 CJ 5 running. I'm looking for sport bar covers. Looking for a kit first before I go summit or jegs looking at regular Nerf covers. Has anyone had any luck? I realize this thread was from a long time ago but hoping someone will know something. I've been looking everywhere and now wondering if the newer 76 and up CJ 5 or 80 and up CJ 5 covers would fit?? As we all know according to the aftermarket jeeps weren't made until 1976 so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

I went to Wild Horses 4X4 (the sell early Bronco parts) for the 2" bar padding. Fairly cheap, $4.50 a section. Took it to the local upholstery shop and had the covers made out of spare levi material I had after redoing the seats. Not a huge fan of the look but I will keep them for now. Doug

The padding is just neoprene foam pipe insulation, available at home centers or plumbing supplies.

The race cars where I worked just got padding wrapped with 2" wide black vinyl tape. You can also glue the padding edges together with weatherstrip cement. Mostly it's about preventing a headache or bruises when you bump into the bars. Anyone who can sew should be able to make covers - vinyl can be purchased at big fabric sores by the yard.
