So how stupid would this look?

So here's the situation. 2020 JL sport, 2 door.

My shepherd mix has developed a strong preference for sitting in the front passenger seat. Obviously, with doors off, he can't do that.
How stupid would it be/look if I only took the driver's side door off?

not near as stupid as having a grumper...

Your jeep, your dog……. Your way. Nobody should care to be critical and, if they go out of their way to be critical about something so trivial, well, that speaks volumes about them as a person.

do as you wish.

i have wheeled 55+ years with dogs and no doors. i have rolled several times with dogs and never had one hurt. always leashed with room to move. all over the southwest Mojave road to the Hammer trails. heelers rock. granted we were both lucky. the better prepared you are the less luck you need

How it looks to me isn't as important as the safety of the dog. I don't like having a loose dog in my jeep even with doors on. I don't like the distraction. If I am on a long trip, dogs are crated in the back. For a short trip into town or something similar, I have used a harness with my dog and I think they are safer in comparison to just loose.

Doors off and dog harnessed seems ok to me but also depends on the dog. Doors off with no harness is a no.

Bottom line is nothing is 100% safe about driving no matter how you strap in. Reduction in hazard is all you can really achieve. Just don't be like that guy who's loose dog jumps out of the moving pickup truck on the road when it saw a critter.

Dakota rides in the back seat with a hammock, harness, and tether. I have trail doors on when the Jeep doors are in the garage.

I say go with it ...I mean, u can always replace a dog but nothing replaces the look on peoples faces when they see u with just one door off.

He'll be fine... Hell, as long as he wears his seatbelt, you could even let him drive...

9 and 3 o'clock. This dog is smarter than me; I'm still at 10 and 2, or Nothing and 1 or 4, when cruising in the jeep.

Have you considered a set of InGen tube doors?

I took this photo last weekend of my buddy driving their Mercedes camper through a tricky section with their golden retriever playing navigator

This has nothing to do with Jeeps, but I thought I'd share. We couldn't have gotten the dog to pose like that had we tried.

Took this a few years ago, went into the store to get some groceries and came out to this.
Our dog Borris has claimed the driver seat.

I've actually thought about this for when the day comes and I get a dog again. I would take the door off but find some sort of mesh cage and create my own door out of it.
Like this but for the entire door...
