Cab only cover

Since my Ranger has gotten kicked out of the garage for the next few years, I've been thinking for a cab only cover. I'd like a cab only because the Ranger is my DD, and it might help with the snow/frost/ice during the winter and sun in summer time. So far the only one I've been able to find are for full size trucks. Example here. Step 1: Manufacturer / Year

If anyone spots one, can you drop me a note?
Thanks,

Not quite what you were after, but a 'cab and front end' cover:

I think they'd go a long way toward keeping the cab & hood clean and crud-free.
About the only negative consideration I can figure (other than the price of some of them) would be removing that cover in the morning after a few inches of snowfall.

Mike...if yer interested in what I did fer my cab cover, you can check it out at my thread over at ToyotaNation.com.

It only takes about 15 seconds to deploy and cover the cab...30 seconds to store it in the pouch. Nothing to store in the cab...so you don't have to worry about taking up space in the cab or gitting it dirty from the cover. Wind actually helps you cover the cab versus the others that you end up fighting with the wind!

Nothing else like it in the world!

I found this site Car Covers, Car Sun Shades - California PopTop. Sent off an email, and he said that he was going to work on one this winter. I'll give him a couple months and see how its going.

Yes...they were the ones who inspired me to make mine since they never got back to me about a cover fer my T-100. Hope you git better service. Just so you know, their cover is rated to last about 2 years...

I'll be zipping back up I-35 during spring break (March). I could drop by if yer along the way.

Here's the current piccie as of 20 minutes ago...
