Dog Boxes?

[Harold Pickens]

Hmm, I see some road trips in your future. The UP, Dakotas, etc. I have always put caps on my trucks and love their ability to keep things dry and locked up. I do not have any gun vaults like our buddy Daryl, but build a platform with plywood and 2 x 4's. Ive used the same sheet of plywood since 1998. I bought 6 plastic kennels for $50 total at a yard sale( all sizes) and have been set since then. The dogs stay dry and warm--I even have a remote temp monitor that sells for under $20 that lets me know what the temp is under the cap.
So, what kind of dogs?? Labs, pointing dogs, or maybe pointing labs??

You pretty much know my set-up in my Denali. I too, like Harold, use the airline approved Vari-Kennel. They are lightweight, easy to hose out and clean and above all provide good ventilation. Looks like a cap should be in your future. You're a good man taking those GSP's. Bring them to the "Rock" in Sept. My two will love to meet them and romp in NEPA.

Harold, what is this remote sensor that you use?

I switched to a pair of Ruff stuff kennels, they have a hardware kit to join them together and handy in an SUV -there are doors at both ends

Mike you got the two GSP boys??? If so GREAT!!! I have a friend who guides and he uses one of the commercial aluminum dog boxes with some limited storage on the top and it works great for him. I have a homemade dog box that fits nicely in the bed of the truck.

If everything goes as planned, I'll be picking them up on Fathers Day. I'm excited and can't wait to meet them.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions so far. Some good choices that I hadn't seen yet. I'm drawn to this setup based on the website, but would prefer to see one in person to get an idea of the quality of the build. I like the dog box and the drawers and the ability to stack. Not cheap, but compared to a new Truck Vault system () it's not bad. Still need a shell.
