What does everyone use to secure your dog in the jeep when the doors/top are off?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have a Newfie as well. Just got the wrangler and cant wait to bring her around with the top off. She loves it when the windows are open, I can only imagine how much she will love no top or doors.I need to come up with something for my Newfie in the back. I have car seats in the rear seats so he is forced in the back.
The Kurgo set up worked well for Jersey.I use the Kurgo dog harness and they have tether that attaches into the seat belt.
Direct to Seat Belt Tether | Dog Seat Belt
Another option
Kurgo Swivel Tether | Dog Seat Belt
Didn't even think about that. Time for yet another trip to Lowes haha@DisturbedMaggot, I would swap out that disconnect for either a real carabiner or something stronger. Those leash type quick connects just are not rated for the types of forces a crash would cause. I would worry that would fail.
I'd flip those U-bolts around you get jarred pretty good or roll those dogs are gonna get speared. My lab growing up impaled herself on one holding a net around our trampoline. I had to unhook her from it and it resulted in a solid vet bill, a bunch of stiches, and a drain.I rigged up my own system for my Black Mouth Cur and my Shepherd.
I got 3" (I think) U bolts, and attached them to the back roll bar near where the top rear seatbelt mount is.
I then got some 5/8" nylon rope, and the kit to create a loop in steel cable, and made a loop on one end of the rope, and attached a quick disconnect to the other (the same kind that is usually found on a dog leash)
Then I attach that to their Kong harnesses, and have the extra rope bungied to the floor mounting loops, which keeps them from getting tangled up on eachother.
It's worked great for the past year.
Sorry for having a brain fart and not actually remembering the names of anything for this haha
