FINALLY found a dog friendly solution!

[GreatDaneMom]

I've been looking for a couple of years for a solution to keep the dogs in the back of my two-door that will allow them to stick their heads out but not jump or fall out. They're not jumpers, but never say never. I didn't want to use netting, and also wanted something I didn't have to unhook just to get them in and out of the truck... so essentially something that could attach to the tailgate. I had to cobble some items together but finally found a solution using the Havoc molle panel from Rough Country (ironically one of my Great Danes is named Havoc), the Heininger pet barrier, and some adjustable clamps. Note: I also have a "runner" cable in the back where I can tether them to a harness as well. The horizontal bars on the "pet barrier" are adjustable... I believe up to 48" and the vertical bars are adjustable as well. You can also buy another Heininger barrier or just one additional bar if you need more coverage. I can open the clamps and remove the barrier when I need to put the back window in; however, I think if I adjust the location of the clamps on the molle panel I might be able to leave this in place and just raise the horizontal bars up when I need them. I'm sure there are other options out there but this fits the bill for Havoc and Rogue as we tool around town!

I applaud your ingenuity Dog Mom!

Being a fellow dog person, I would also invest in dog harness mounts that would not let them try to pull past that fencing. You have some big strong babies there!

Never thought I'd see someone transporting 2 horses in the back of a 2-door.

/btw -- I like your solution

Thanks! I mentioned in my post that I already have a tether/harness setup. I've tested my "MacGyver" solution and it works like a charm, even when they're at their most excited and itching to get out of the Bronco!

LOL! Thankfully they love to cuddle up next to each other so they have just enough room after the rear seat delete. It is quite a sight, though... especially when they stick their heads out the top!

Ahh sorry I missed that, Im super sick at the moment and my short term sucks!
I may have to do something similar when I get my bronco for my baby. =)

Let me know if you come up with a different solution. I'm also going to use the barriers for the side windows, but can use straps to connect them to the pillars. It's definitely a work in progress.

Feel better soon!

Post an update when you build your side solution.

I would have bought a horse trailer and called it a day.

LOL... someone recently put a duck on my door handle and I swear it's because all the dog slobber had my Bronco looking like it had a really cool, custom paint job!

The Duck is a Jeep owner thing, they leave ducks on each others vehicles or something. I haven't totally gotten to understand Ducking.

Oh yeah I know about "ducking"... only reason I could think of why someone would duck my Bronco is all the doggie slobber that looks like a custom paint/window tint job. LOL! I'm actually going to put an orca on my dash to start a new trend!
