Any dog ramps that work with JL?

[Cuyose]

I was hoping to find a cool easy solution that can just slide in the tow bar or something, but other than standalone stairs, I haven't found anything that will actually grab good enough for 100 lb older dogs. They slide off and collapse as the bumper even stock is substantial and aways away from the rear deck. Other than just lifting these guys in and out, what are people doing for older pups?

Watching this one, I need something as well for a 12-year-old Chocolate Lab.

I used a Maxtrax traction board. I like to have two in the jeep as they have saved me from being stuck a few times anyway. You need to hold the top and have your foot on the bottom but they pack easily and my Lab didn’t have an issue.

Ive had a couple things, and came across this, but with a lifted jeep I was hoping for something with the ability to be a whole ramp or have multiple steps, not just a small footprint to jump to then into the back

I was hoping for something that can stand on its own. Like when you are camping and have the back set up so the pooch can just go in when they want and rejoin the party whenever, etc. I know I can babysit almost any offering, but with a 100 lb dog, even then crap slips around and then they are freaked of the ramp after taking a couple diggers.

Thats cool, but even the vid only shows it working with a non stock aftermarket bumper that shockingly is the exact width of the ramp, which the stock bumper is not, so it wont work.

I made one of those and both my dogs look at it like “you have to be kidding me.” They’ll use it to get out but not in, but they’ll also just jump out, so it’s basically useless.

90 lb Labrador Retriever here. She was wary of the ramp but with some coaxing she went up it and later, down it. I stopped using it only because she preferred jumping into the Jeep on her own. As she ages, I will use the ramp. The red covering is grippy and does not allow for sliding around. The ramp itself is solid, has some heft to it. Folds up and easy to store, too.

Thanks for this post. Going to need something for this guy once the Jeep gets delivered. The other two will jump in no problem

I have an 9 yo pit/golden mix who hovers around 85-90 lbs. i’ve used these foldable steps on my new and stock bumper.

We use this for our very large Catahoulas. It does not slip at all. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IAX85QU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

10 YO 75 lb male English Pointer. 66 YO owner. He can still jump in, just. I started lifting him out after he was recovering from a front leg/shoulder injury. But I'm planning for a ramp. I'm going to a 3.5" MC lift and 37s. I figure it's going to be at least 6" higher. My wife uses a big folding plastic ramp in her car.

I got a Teraflex spare gate reinforced carrier that has fittings for a HiLift. I suppose I could make up something to carry a ramp.

My yellow lab is about 85 ish pounds. She is spoiled rotten. She is 3 1/2. Today she wanted me to pick her up to get in my Camry before going to the groomer…but she will hop right up on the bed, sofa, my husbands F150, the side by side…and the counter to steal loaves of bread. So I see a purchase of one of these before my Jeep gets here! Thanks…

Might have to take another look at this, im just concerned that the stock steel bumper has a narrower drop inset, so its hard for the end to really grab onto anything.
