So i take my two Labs with me about everywhere I go and everytime I stop and go in to a store I come out to see them setting everywhere but the back. So I made a pet divider. It's also the start of my cargo net that will cover the rear. Heres a few quick pictures (cell phone). It's not done I'm going to to retie the cross' and add a hold down for the the bottom. It's made form 3/8 rope I got at Homedepot for less the 10 bucks.

I started at the top, I wanted to be able to remove it so I mad a loop and botton setup. The washer can be feed back through the loop like a botton on a shirt.




Then I made all my runners,


Tied them together to make a net, I used zip ties for now, but i'll replace that with black wax string.



Heres it done, I made to loops for the sides as well, I just don't have a picture of them.


So thats how it sets now.... still little things to do to it but its a start and works great! Thanks DH

Nice I like it, but why dont you just put them in a set belt harness? My Lab now doesn't even go in the front even when not wearing his harness.
also makes it real easy to go with no roof or doors.

it looks like some work was put into that net... creative

Got a pic of the harness? I'm curious cause Im wondering if it'd work on my 120lb black Lab. Yes... 120... He's a big puppy.

ditto on the harness.
I got 2 labs and want to take them with me, but I ride topless and doorless
all summer.

They make harnesses for ALL sized dogs and not only are they useful they are starting to become law in some places. IMO leaving a dog loose in a vehicle or God forbid in the back of a pick-up is pretty wreckless. Not only do they easily get hurt or killed they can seriously injure someone else in an accident.

I like your creativity making your divider. Personally when my JK arrives from the plant I'm ordering a divider and Cargo Net top from Safari Straps. They also make dividers that just block between the front seats for people who might want the entire back area open.

Here's a link to one type of harness http://www.ruffrider.com/shop/product/2.html

You know I dont have a pic of the harness but i'll get one, My Lab is only 80 lbs at the moment, still a pup but he loves it. roof and doors are off most of the summer. Even with that great divider, i would recomentd the harness.

Cool thanks. My black lab is prone to just immediately lie down in the back which is great, but running topless I'm nervous he may decide to jump out unexpectedly. He can hop into the back OVER the tailgate or through an open window. It's amazing and ridiculous. My 80lb yellow lab is only 3 and still way too excited about other cars and people inside them. Serious Labittude!
Btw, your Lab looks just like mine, only lil smaller

where would you latch that harness to in a 2 door JK with the rear seat folded and not taken out of the Jeep?
