Maybe its not that your not a dog guy so much as you had a really stupid dog.
Stupid dogs take a special kind of owner.

Just get a couple of straps that clip into the seat belts from the chinese shop that sorts two dogs
If you have 4 like me get two straps clipped to the two hooks on boot floor,

Thanks. I was a single young officer and the dog was a boxer I got at the pound at my duty station. I'd grown up with a doberman and later a golden retriever, so I wasn't cold to the quirks of living with dogs. She was a lovely and good-natured dog, but energetic. My lifestyle then (needing to be away all work day, small apartment, etc.) did not translate well to dog ownership. I ended up giving her to one of my squad leaders who was married, had kids, and a yard where she could run around. She did great there.

My dog is dumb and 100% would jump out of a moving vehicle if given the opportunity but I rarely drive the TJ without him so here’s my set up:
1. Smittybuilt cargo netting-fits under both hard top and soft top so once it’s on your set.
2. Rear seats removed
3. Leash from Amazon that clips in to the seatbelt female and attach that to his harness.
Plan on actually taking his old bed when I replace it and cutting a hole in it to run the leash from the seatbelt through so he has a little bit of comfort back there as it gets a little bumpy. But he loves the current set up. He’s secure and can’t jump up to the front while still being able to move, lay, sit or stand.

I feel like now is a good time to remind people that the floor of the tub gets hot when the rig's been running for a while. Please keep that in mind when you have your dog with you.
Harness is great. If you attach it to the Jeep it should be in the center so there is no way the harness gets outside the roll bar. If the harness does reach outside the roll bar disconnect it. You don't want whatever is in the harness attached to the Jeep and outside the Jeep, bad things will happen.
The cargo net works well. Keeps in a 50 lb... bitchy but vigilant German pinchser.
I own.. but have not used the kurgo seatbelts dog harness. But seems safe.

I have a dog platform and a tether to restrict his reach..... It has nothing to do with accident security.
Leash and tether applied..... altho why bother eh.,

I have a set of Smittybilt side and rear window screens I don’t use. You can have them if you want. Shipping shouldn’t be too much so you can buy me a beer sometime
low and central, like mentioned above it should not have the reach to allow them over the side or out a door.
my jack russell loves the front seat when the doors are off. he stands on the edge of the seat with the tether pulled tight tryin to lean out.
the 1 i worry about is keep them tethered while wheelin? being it's mostly slow motion on dedicated trails, i wonder if having them tethered is a risk during a flop or roll. most instances i believe they'll feel it and likely jump free or do you keep um locked and hope they don't hang while you fumble to get loose. i have a cargo net as well but that doesn't seem any better if they are loose and trapped.

First, the title of this thread is hilarious. Not sure what year you have, but some TJs have isofix points in the rear seats. I assume this is an 03-06 thing. I’d think one of the middle isofix points would be a great place to hook up the harness.
