Tops off... Dogs in

[lorlik]

I have two shepherds and both of them ride in the trunk. I use a tether similar to the one in the link below and i attach it to the child car seat mounting location on the back of back seats and to their collars. One dog to the left seat and one to the right. With one dog you can use the center location to give him room to go to either side of the trunk.

Not this exact one, but similar:

Just stumbled upon your post and this is exactly what I was thinking of doing. So I clicked your link and I've got two arriving on Wednesday. My pups will be thanking you! I tried without a harness, but our St. Bernard puppy decided it was a game to go from the trunk to the rear seat, again and again. And since I'll be taking the top off when this Wisconsin weather cooperates, this was the perfect solution.

My dogs like to roam so I don't restrain them. They have been riding in Jeeps their whole lives and will only jump out if I'm going under 15 or so and never unless I tell them it's ok to go.

This is the main reason we actually bought the JLU, despite my wife blaming my mid-life crisis. They are unrestrained, which I know makes me a "bad" pet owner, but if I survived the 70s travelling in the back of a pick up, I'm sure they'll be fine. Anytime we leave the house, there is always risk, I know.

Last Sunday, 45 degrees, clear blue sky...perfect day to do to the dog park topless.

A bunch of JL and JLU versions. Barrier dividers behind front seats, rear seats even add a dog door you can open or close up. We also make MIL-SPEC leashes that hook into the seat belts and the cargo area holds (use with a body harness)

I'm thinking of getting the Raingler nets with the dog door so I can put my skis through the dog door. But I'm wondering about the webbing and rear view mirror visibility? I'm a chronic over-checker of mirrors since I ride a street bike. It's a habit I cannot break when driving a car.

I have to laugh at your plate . That’s one of the nicknames for our doodle, Little Miss Wiggle Butt.

Not my current jeep but I do the same with the JL. I have a short chain that anchors to the floor of the cargo area halfway between the jeep sides. This allows her to move side to side but not jump out. The chain is attached to a proper harness not a collar.

Bought the roll bar version from this seller for something more unique to Jeep. Works great for an active 80lb + lab mix. The seller was able to customize the length and charged nothing extra.

The spacing for the cargo net style Standard webbing, MIL-SPEC or HYBRID material is at a 4" square between openings. We found this to be a great balance between containment to visibility over the years.
We also have a military grade mesh screening that performs excellent for dog hair retention and for the best visibility. It's ratedto 215 PSI and has been in use and long-term testing in a pit-bull rescue Sprinter van.

All materials

LOL - we have three Australian Shepards, and they're known to almost bend themselves in half by wiggling their butts.

Boxers are amazing wigglers. Best I've seen. So fun to watch them.

I'm on my second Great Dane and they aren't so much wigglers but their tails are lethal. First one busted hers open and we eventually had to get it amputated because we couldn't get it healed properly because she wouldn't stop shaking and hitting it. Sigh. The current one has no care in the world. Tail bangs hard against anything and everything.

I guess germane to thread I'll say, the cheap Harbor Freight blankets are working for me right now. I would get decent seat covers like Canvasback (probably the best IMO), but the JL rear seat is too small for my girl, so I have to run rear seats folded down. The blankets on top of MOPAR cargo mats give good coverage and support. I do need something for the sides, though, to keep the hair under control.

I took my dog to the vet in my Jeep today. Poor girl had her first JL ride to get a shot in the bum. I used two tethers to secure her in the back. She seemed OK (she’s not the bravest girl). I’ll put the windows in for the beach trip this weekend (it’s a couple hours to get there).

This look on her face is her realizing where we are.

Happy to be on the way home

Love seeing all your doggo's riding with ya!!!

I don’t have any feedback to add, but I also took one of my Boxers to the vet today.
