Anything is better than nothing. I think OB should make one for it's members also.I want to get a tire cover to block out my nasty spare but would like an overland bound one, maybe with my member number on it. Most of the available ones say jeep...may be a mo ey maker View attachment 120581

I could relate. We watch a lot of zombie movies lol.Anything is better than nothing. I think OB should make one for it's members also.

The idea is great, however a caveat. Because overhead would be too large to stock 'generic' sizes,..30",32",33",35",37", 40", it would have to be a specific members w/OB#, that could be custom made at time of order (size), with the knowledge that lead-time (think safari racks-you get the point) would be longer. This would make it more affordable on the front side (less upfront $$), but create 'paperwork' to track each members request. I'm not sure Michael and Corrie have that type of time. Finally they looked into this once before I believe, and quality issues were a concern. They would have to find a supplier willing to do this on a 'custom order' basis.I got a plain black one from Amazon, but one that said 'Overland Bound Member XYZ' would be cool.

Understood on the overhead piece. Gotta pay to play. For reference my plain black one, but with 'premium fabric' is about $43 for an XXL size.The idea is great, however a caveat.

P.S. The 'banner' in the store has been used as a overlay over a generic black tire cover by some members. If you look around there are some pictures available showing this.View attachment 120598

All good points except for one thing. There are 20,000 members now and that's a good market for some ambitious soul to tackle. I don't think the member number is necessary and some one could spray pain a stenciled number on it themselves, that is important for some.The idea is great, however a caveat.

It would keep it snugged and tight.....just a thought.

Holy cow, what size tire do you have on your rig. I'd have to cut half my fender off to put that on my rig ! They look a lot larger when mounted on the rear carrier than when mounted on your rig.In the meantime, you could go with something State specific....View attachment 123435

Yup I was browsing the 'store' yesterday and noticed they were sold out as well.i just logged in to buy the vinyl banner and superglue it to a generic amazon tire cover; however, the banners are sold out so now I am back to square one. I guess its back to amazon to look some more.

LOL, that is not my rig...I just looked for a Colorado spare tire cover photo as an example.Holy cow, what size tire do you have on your rig. I'd have to cut half my fender off to put that on my rig ! They look a lot larger when mounted on the rear carrier than when mounted on your rig.
