Do these products work with both hard tops and soft tops?
Most of them do. The cargo cover and cargo barrier use bolts that are pre-installed on the vehicle frame—the same bolts that attach hard tops can be used for soft tops, since the nut inserts are already part of the Wrangler's frame rails.

Overview of Five Amazon Dog Accessories for Your Jeep Wrangler
Matt from Dirt Road Cred tests five budget-friendly dog accessories available on Amazon designed to protect both your Jeep Wrangler's interior and keep your pets safe during adventures. The video walks through each product's installation, features, and real-world performance, with prices ranging from roughly $40 to $60 per item. All five products are non-sponsored purchases, chosen based on Amazon reviews and inclusion of useful features like carabiner clips and adjustable straps.
The accessories cover different aspects of pet travel: protecting cargo areas, separating dogs from the front cabin, securing rear seats, tethering dogs safely, and removing embedded pet hair. The host demonstrates each product on his two dogs (Kona and Onyx) in a four-door Wrangler JL, showing how they install using existing vehicle hardware and how they hold up during typical use.
Key Moments
Key Features of Each Dog Travel Product
Cargo Area Floor Liner: Waterproof cover with velcro attachment points and storage bags; includes six carabiner clips that bolt to the hard top or soft top frame, and works for both pet transport and other cargo like beach sand or firewood.
Cargo Barrier Net: Divider separating rear cargo from front seats using hard top bolts and front tie-down points; keeps hyperactive pets contained and prevents loose cargo from flying into the passenger area during sharp turns or accidents.
Rear Seat Cover: Heavy-duty quilted material with textured surface for pet grip; includes zipper sections for accessing the front console and seat belt access points, plus can be configured as a hammock-style wrap or with raised side walls.
Dog Harness Leash: Elastic safety tether available in multiple colors with reflective interior; clips to both seat belt anchors and headrest points, designed for dogs already wearing a full-body harness (not for collar-only use).
Pet Hair Remover Tool: Handheld device with three density settings (minimum, medium, maximum) for extracting embedded fur from car carpets and fabric; works on both vehicle interiors and home furniture.
Why Pet Protection Gear Matters for Jeep Adventures
Dogs that travel frequently in vehicles face real safety and comfort challenges. Without proper restraint, a pet can become a flying projectile during sudden stops or turns—a hazard for both the animal and passengers. Interior damage from claws, accidents, and shedding can cost hundreds in repairs, while dogs sliding around on slippery seats lose their footing and become anxious. These five accessories address those concerns affordably: restraints prevent injury, barriers keep pets in designated zones, covers protect upholstery and cargo areas, and hair removal maintains a clean cabin. For owners who regularly take their dogs on adventures in a Jeep Wrangler, even one or two of these products can significantly improve safety, reduce vehicle wear, and make trips more enjoyable for both pet and driver.
Questions About Using Dog Accessories in a Wrangler
Do these products work with both hard tops and soft tops?
Most of them do. The cargo cover and cargo barrier use bolts that are pre-installed on the vehicle frame—the same bolts that attach hard tops can be used for soft tops, since the nut inserts are already part of the Wrangler's frame rails. The rear seat cover and harness leash are universal and work regardless of roof type.
Will the cargo barrier fit if I have a subwoofer or other cargo?
Yes. The video demonstrates the cargo cover installing over a subwoofer without issues, and the barrier net is designed to protect your cabin from loose items, so it actually works better with cargo already in the back.
Can I use the dog harness leash with just a collar, or does my dog need a full harness?
The video explicitly warns against using the leash with a collar alone, as it can cause injury. The leash is designed only for dogs already wearing a full-body harness, where the elastic attachment connects to the harness rather than pulling on the neck.
Are these products difficult to install?
No. All five products use tools already in the vehicle (for bolts) or simple velcro, straps, and clips. The host emphasizes that installation is "extremely simple" and requires no special equipment or modifications to the Jeep.
Will the pet hair remover actually work on stubborn shedding?
The video tests it and shows it does pull embedded fur out effectively. It has three density settings so you can match the tool to how much hair is present—use the smaller setting for light shedding and the largest setting for heavy clumps. It also works on home furniture, so it's a multi-use investment.
This video provides genuine value for pet owners who adventure in Jeeps. The host doesn't oversell the products; he shows real installation, discusses trade-offs (like how the cargo cover might interfere slightly with the next product), and explains which accessories he'll keep permanently versus use occasionally. He clearly owns and uses these items himself rather than reviewing them once and moving on.
What I appreciated most was the emphasis on safety—the harness leash discussion about full-body harnesses versus collars, the cargo barrier preventing projectiles, and the reminder that doorless driving demands pet restraint. For anyone regularly taking dogs on Jeep trips, this is practical, budget-conscious guidance that actually works. Highly recommended.

i want to make sure that these four-legged friends that i ride with in the jeep are safe my jeep's protected as well as it's just comfortable for all of us so i can see they're already raring to go to get these mods installed so we're gonna let them jump out and get started
now if you guys are like me this cargo area can get extremely beat up this first one that we're going to be installing is a cargo cover protector this one actually includes these nice little carabiner clips that will go on where the hard top holds screw on so we've got four of those i
chose a lot of these amazon products that had the best reviews and included the most items so okay we actually got six of them there this is pretty neat so it actually feels right away it feels like the fabric is pretty well built it's really gonna lay completely out and give a nice cover for entrance too if you've got a nice bumper back here that you
don't want to get all scratched up by their super sharp claws so this one includes all these little kind of carabiner style that bolt on with the hard top bolts now don't worry if you don't have a hard top if you have a soft top you can pick up these bolts and simply install them there's
already the nut inserts on the frame rail of the back of the jeep so these will just screw right in and it's really nice because you only need to use the tools that are included with your vehicle so all you have to do is literally these already have the clips on them you just reach up there
this is pretty neat so far guys i'm actually kind of impressed i also like the american flag in the middle that's that's pretty neat this actually has some velcro down below here so i'm imagining velcro's onto the bottom of the seat this just goes up the back here same thing has velcro on it
it goes around head rest so that's going to go on there i'm going to get all the velcro into place if you have the jl with the center headrest which all of them do get that wrapped around now this one here serves a ton of purposes i will tell you first off the material on this side
is a waterproof material too and on the inside it looks to be quilted i'll say it's pretty heavy duty it's not the thickest thing in the world but for 40 some odd dollars this is going to do a great job of covering up the back cargo area and this one isn't just for pets i'll tell you
i just got back from the beach a couple weeks ago and if i had this down there it would have very much so helped keep the sand and everything else in the back here without getting in all the nooks and crannies and every other place that you have to use a shop vac to get to the cool thing
also is that i'm going to put one of my other mods for today's video right back there in one of the storage areas so there's actually some storage bags on there i think that overall this is an extremely well thought out mod here and it's going to work for a ton of different uses you could use
this for firewood for going to the beach and for the pups in the back so this one i'm very happy with as you can see i do have the subwoofer and it covers that perfectly fine so this is going to work with all models in the four-door wrangler next up on the docket is going to be a divider
for the rear cargo area to the front cargo area now there was a ton of these also on there but i chose the one that included those little carabiner clips on the front and also there were some that actually use like suction cup mounts for the hard top and i figured half of you guys might have soft
tops especially if it's summer when you're rolling around and that's just not gonna work so this one utilizes the hard top bolts with those clips as well as the front two tie-down points on the ground now what i like about these cargo dividers is that if you're trying to keep the dogs in the
back if you have a hyper active pet that's trying to get to the front of there and you really don't want them to be jumping around while you're driving this is going to split it up nicely the second thing i can think of is when i went to the beach i was so loaded up with cargo in the
back i would hate to see something fly through the center of that and go to the front where everyone is sitting in there it's just not really safe well this net seems to do a great job i gotta be honest i think i'm gonna be keeping this one on here all the time i do really like the look of it plus it's
gonna definitely keep the dogs out of the back it was extremely simple to install just by tightening some of these straps and connecting it to those clips and you have full protection and the dogs aren't going to be able to come through here i mean maybe if they're aggressive enough they can
get through but this was a cool one and for 40 some dollars i think it was well worth the value now my next mod here for dogs and pets in general might be a little bit redundant but this is going to be your rear seat cover now if you guys go just about anywhere you can pick one of these up
what i want to do is go through amazon and figure out which one seemed to fit the jeep wrangler the best so the jeep wrangler gladiator these would be pretty similar but opening this up i just checked it out and this one actually includes the one that we're going to link below it includes the
seat belt clips for the harnesses so this one if you're looking for one that includes those this one actually does it hinders a little bit on my next mod but there's something special about that one so stay tuned so if you're looking for one that includes the seatbelt harnesses this one
does and then a cool picture of this lady holding her dog so i can put that up on the wall and now i got free art this one i kind of liked because it it feels a little bit more quilted but then these little checkered patterns and all these little dots almost feel ribbed so it kind of
gives you more grip for the pets when they sit on here because if you know if you go around to turn and the dogs kind of lose their footing they fly everywhere i really just wanted to see if this one fits the jeep better these are very universal but if it fits great i'll recommend it and then
the link will be below so after installing this one i got to be honest with you guys i've run a lot of these in the past and this one does seem to fit the wrangler really really well i read a ton of reviews to see which vehicles this fit best in and the wrangler was in there a ton of times
now this one actually has those sections that tuck in between the seat to help keep this down you can use it as a hammock style like this so it wraps around to the front seats and then also these walls will go up too so these zipper and you can actually unzip them if you don't want them up and
they lay down onto the side of the seat so that way when you're entering and exiting it doesn't get the sides scratched up but i think it's also a cool feature it kind of doesn't help too much with the next mallet i was going to talk about this one does have velcro sections down below here
where you can actually still access the seat belts through there so if you have a passenger sitting back on one side and then you have your pet on the other side you can still get the seat belt to work another feature this thing's just kind of loaded with features here too there's a zipper here in
the center i'll unzip and then you could your pet can still get to the front console so they can still stick their head up or you can reach back and give them a treat or give them a pet click while you're driving and then also a little bit of storage here i'm happy with this one and this
one's going to be staying in the back of the jeep when the pets jump in there so maybe i'll let them jump in and see how they like this one out now another thing that's extremely important this is kind of one of those safety aspects i picked up a pair of these now what these are are harnesses for
the dog harness so these will go onto the vehicle they do have elasticity in there so if you're in an accident it's not just going to rip them these are only recommended if the dog does have one of the full body harnesses on you shouldn't put this just on a collar because that can really hurt them
the one thing i liked about this though besides the fact that you can choose the color which i chose bright orange with reflective inside there is that this will not only go into a regular seat belt clip but it also has this harness which will wrap around the headrest now i thought we were
going to absolutely need these for this rear seat when we had this cargo cover and it's still a good idea because you can easily just throw that over top actually loosen it up a little bit and we'll throw that over top and then what this is going to do is have a harness that goes right onto your
pet's harness and still does have the elasticity there too so i really do like that fact and you can easily just clip this on the reason i chose these is because when i wanted to look in the back and see if they were connected i chose the bright orange so i could see it you can adjust
these two to make them longer as you can see there or you can adjust them to make them shorter too so this will depend on the configuration also the size of your pet and how far you want them to be able to reach out the window cool thing with this is i can use them on the back seat i can use
them on the front headrest and then also i can clip them in with the seat belt click too which i really like because my dogs like to sit in the front too so i'll sit them in the front seat and i gotta tell you if you're running doorless these are a must-have you don't want your dogs seeing a
rabbit or another dog outside and jumping out but i really do like this color and they come in like 10 different colors too so pretty cool you can either match the jeep or get bright orange so you can see it like these now here's last but not least product here the mini pet hair detailer now
this one had the most reviews and looked like it did the best on amazon and it says it does car carpet as well as home fabric and gets embedded fur out so we're going to try it there's a little bit of fur already back here in the back but you guys with dogs especially shepherds and hairy dogs
know how bad the interior of these vehicles can get there's a maximum density minimum density and then medium so this is like depending on how much hair there is so it even has on there there's like a thumb hole for you to do it but let's just try it on this little piece here okay it seems to work
pretty well now it seems like we got a little more air we got the small let's try the medium okay so it seems like you use like the smaller the medium to get more of it and then maybe the largest once you have a ton of clumps of it or more of the uh the fabric style but this does work
so there's just a little bit off and pulled right out so i would say this is probably a must-have for me just to keep the interior clean if you don't decide to use the cargo cover or those liners this is going to really help with the carpet and getting it clean and plus it'll work
for your house too and all your other vehicles so i think this is a good little kit to have this will probably be thrown right in the glove box all right guys well this has been a fun one i'm glad i got to use my four-legged guests kona and onyx to be in this one i really hope that this
helps you with the pet mods needed for your jeep wrangler i think these are all great mods and i got to be honest the pricing isn't too bad on them either now like i said i'm leaving all the links down below in the description so you can check out all the exact products that we use today
and i'll tell you i'm going to leave pretty much all of these in i think the cargo cover i'll throw in and out when i need that but that netting and that dog kind of cover for the back seat that's going to stay in most of the time these are great to have even if you don't have
pets maybe just load a lot of dirty stuff into the back seat it's gonna work and really help you out that was the whole point of this channel to show off products that i actually use that i actually buy and these aren't sponsored or anything too i went on amazon and ordered a ton of parts just to
show you guys how they all work another thing too if you haven't checked out our interior accessory mod video definitely check that one out as well that's a cool one to show all the interior accessories that are also offered that are pretty low price point but can make a big difference on
the interior until next time i'm matt from dirt road cred get out there and earn yours
