I also do a lot of hunting in Baja and need to make sure the dog stays cool and safe. I removed the back jump seat and it easily fit a side entrance crate.

We have 2 Standard Poodles and the back seat is theirs. Both well behaved so no damage yet.

I use a Leer shell for my 3 boys. Get a decent quality one and it looks pretty good. They have plenty of room, are protected from the elements, and I can pull the dog beds out and have my bed when I need it. I also have the racks on top for kayaks or ...?

I plan on getting the same setup. Do you have the dogs restarained inside the shell? Or just free?

the impact crates are airline approved and some are collapsible. Thats why i like them. my impact crates are used for everything. truck, house, travel, fly. everything.
But they are expensive if you have multiple dogs. The owens link i posted above is a DIY kit. Owens makes outstanding truck bed dog crates. I dont use one because the impact is lighter and airline approved so it fills many uses. But owens diy kit is basically just their door, vents and some corners. You add plywood walls and you have a budget version of their nice crates. I might be building one of these for a freind of mine who needs a truck box but cant afford an impact.


I really really want an Impact crate but alas I have 5 German Shepherds. I have emailed them numerous times asking for a 5 crate discount but I get crickets every time.

The Rap is neutral tow capable. leash ‘em to the front bumper and have them pull the truck, save on some fuel. :biggrin:

I put the rear seats up also, but then I made a short lease and use the middle seat bolt to hold it. The leash is only about 2 feet which keeps my boy in the back and off of the doors and windows.

This is the best pic I could find for leaving the dog in the bed.... (and my best Canadian attempt at topical American political humour).
