Cheap Dog Net Mod.
 

Just wanted to send out a cheap mod for dog owners out there that is working great for me. I went out and grabbed a $20 cargo net and 4 $2 dollar climbing hooks from Canadian Tire. ( umm... kinda a Wallmart store in Canada ) Turn the net sideways and wrap the cords around the head rest posts securing them with the hooks. ( pull as snug as you want it ) You can then push the head rest down to cover them up. Next, ( and I don't have a pic of this but ) wrap the net around the seat tracks at the foot and fasten with the two remaining hooks and fold down seats down. Done ! Also gives you a nice clean look.
We have a rotti and a cavalier, so big and small dogs and it keeps them and most of their hair out of the front compartment. Have had no issues but use at own risk. :yup:

Hope it helps out.

( now go find some Mud ) :D

Nice Job. I'm looking a Raingler for the nets they make. Anyone know any other nets? My dogs will thank you.

I have seen some gorgeous dogs on here:yup: give the boys a pet for me

Heyspike nice pic. Can see why you needed a 4 Door :) Just went to the Raingler site. Very nice netting.

I think I am going to give this a try...I have two pits that like to go for rides with me. Anything to keep them out of the front looks good to me. Great mod...

Thanks Burg. Hope it helps. Has been working great for me. :yup:

Speaking of dogs....
 

Here is a pic of the ranglier nets on my Rubicon. I just need to install the caargo net to keep her out of the front seat. She laid claim to my passenger seat when the wife is not riding. HaHa Chris

My JK is covered in my dogs hair. Any suggestions as to the best way to remove it fromt he carpet and seats??

hair
 

I'm a nut about keeping mine clean. I use a stiff cleaning brush to get hair, pine needles, dried mud, etc...... I found the one I use in the car detailing area at walmart. $2-$4

You guys make this too hard!

This is much cheaper!

I bought my dog one of those doggie seat belts at pet smart @ $20. They are basically a chest harness. Then tied a piece of rope between to carabeeners and clip one end to his seat belt and the other to the child seat attatchemt behind the seat. Now he has enough freedom to put his head out the window but surely wont be going anywhere. ALso bought him a pair of doggles to protect his eyes. Pretty cool.

Sorry for the wait. But here is my Puppy Harness system and the Doggles! Ohh and couldn't help throwing in a few pics of Rubi!

Had a couple of cargo nets with the rigid end tubes kicking around...did the between the front seats trick and also one up top over where our 4 door rear seat would be if it was still in there.
The high one as a catch all hammock fastened with 4 - 1/2 inch wide nylon dog collars attached to the roll cage tubes over the rear doors.
Hammock worked out great.
Our 12 year old German Shorthaired Pointer with a knee replacement who still competes in agility trials cleared the front seat barrier net.
Guess that's why the 2 younger dogs still travel in their wire crates fastened up on the tubular riser platform I built in the back.
The Unlimited is still a bit too small for 3 crates and assorted gear having dogs this size.

Duct tape. Reverse wrap it on your hand...pat your jeep down. Works well, and cheap.

That's what I'm looking for, but I want it for the whole back end - everything that isn't part of the front two seats needs to be netted in with the top and doors off. I can't find any prefab netting for the four door, but plenty of options for a two door. I might end up making my own.

Greetings,

I am a new JK owner I have the 4dr version and I just broke 600 miles on it. Dropped it off today to get the hard-top installed.

Anyway I saw your post about the netting and thought I would put in my two cents.

Looks like you could probably put this in cheaper than raingler but I am not sure if you can get black though. Would take some customization but probably cheaper and stronger since it has kevlar incorporated.

I'm working on a mod and write-up to make my own.

I bought the web-strapping at Joanne Fabric for 99 cents a foot and I bought about 18 feet of the stuff.

This weekend I'll assemble 2 home made mods and write them up with PICs.
Interior fishing rod tubes and the Web-Strap to keep Big dogs in back.
