I am in the market for a cargo net to keep my dog in and a sun shade for the Florida sun when I take the hard top off. Anyone looking to get rid of either of these? Or a good suggestion?

I have a black Spiderweb shade on my LJ and like it a lot. Easy to install, fits under my soft top while it's installed. You'll lose some headroom if you leave it installed all the time, but if your not real tall, it shouldn't be a problem.

I bought the Alien Sunshade on Amazon, I don't think it's ever come off since I put it on and that's with hard and soft tops coming on and off. I had a Spiderweb Shade on my JK and honestly can't tell the difference between the two... other than price.
Great buy, it's well worth it and probably the only thing I care to keep ON my Jeep in the summer (sun burn on a bald head in South Texas does not feel good believe you me)

I use the Alien shade as well. Mine extends a bit further back though. I do take mine off in the winter because I’m just tall enough to rub my head a little. But, it’s great in the summer to reduce burn. My wife doesn’t like it because she said it doesn’t give the open air feel as much. But then again, she has hair.

I’ve heard really good things about the quality of steinjager nets - beefy straps and can actually hold weight. Pricey but for top quality comes top price. Smittybilt also makes one but it’s more of a softie with holes cut to make it a net so I don’t like it personally.

I missed the dog part. Sorry, my choice is useless for the dog. Only good for your head.

Dirtydog4x4 has some very nice looking nets, comes in many colors. Very similar to the Steinjager shown above.
I did purchase a nos Spiderwebshade Krawler in black for $30 shipped on eBay. Regular price is $65. Seller is username jasondale73.

I actually may have some Raingler nets that I'll never use. Let me check tomorrow when I get home.

I was just watching IamJake on YT. He's a young guy that lives out of his Jeep while traversing the US. It's a really great channel. If you've got some time on your hands. It's a great channel to watch. He's not only going on cool trips. But details the many repairs and upgrades to his Jeep. He literally lives out of it year round. And it's an old Jeep. So he's constantly working on it. Or having things upgraded or repaired.
But at one point he had tried several different nets. Had issues with them all. And decided on the net in this video. Start at the 4:36 mark. I copied the link at that mark. So hopefully it will just start from there. (Didn't work. Anyone know how to post a YT video that starts at the point you want it to? I've seen it done before.) But he uses the shit out of his gear on a daily and round the year basis. With alot of stuff on and in his jeep. Even a dog.
Only bummer is he never mentions the manufacturer. But maybe that's in his comments. I didn't look. Others may be able to identify it by sight. Ah. I found it. https://raingler.com/
Here's the page to their TJ stuff. Pretty nice looking stuff. At fair prices. And they do custom work. https://raingler.com/collections/1954-2006-jeep-wrangler-yj-tj-lj-heavy-duty-cargo-netting
