New Polaris Ranger dogbox

[BadBoar30]

Finally completed my dogbox for my ranger today. Besides a few minor details like carpet Ect it is basically done. I looked at alot of posts on here and threw everyone's ideas together and came up with this box. It's not exactly 100% perfect but bygolly it will hold some dogs and get the job done! I took some pictures of the process so that all of you who are thinking of building one can get some ideas.

I also moved my shocks out and cranked the stiffness all the way up. I can't even tell I have a load back there now. Everyone should do this to your Rangers if u carry alot of weight in the back
Here I have my box and 5 big dogs and it isn't even thinking about squattin

Good looking box,, but one question, with the solid plate sides with holes for dogs to stick heads out, if a dog is stickin its head out and u brushed up against a tree or heavy fence post, could you break a dog's neck?  Say like if dog's lookin behind the buggy and dont see the tree a-coming?

I suppose he could if he wasn't paying attention. But considering I stay on ranch roads majority of the time im
Not too worried about it. BUT it is something I will probably keep an eye on!

In your situation( and i figured thats about where you drove, dang, all u Texas guys have ranch's and roads)!  I bet it wont be a problem. Lordy, i bounce my gator from one tree to another in all this thick crap where i am n Al. Bent a rim and spun the bead last week when i ran.  Anyway, crazy thing is, way back when i was a teenager, a hot lil cheerleader from a local school was sticking her head and shoulders out of the bus window, waving at the folks behind the bus,, you guessed it, driver nearly side swiped a telephone pole and poor gal never knew she was dead, snapperd her neck, one minute waving at friends, next minute, in. Heaven.. Anyways,, agian, when i saw those dogs heads out of the boxes, and put it together with my kind of creek bottom terrain, that gal snappin her neck came to mind.

Thats a good lookin setup, and them dogs r good lookin too

[BadBoar30]

Yep! I can see where some of you guys would get that thought! The country I hunt, you really don't ever have to worry about that happening. I would say the most that could happen to them is a thorny misquite tree limb gettin em. But they pretty much know what one of those is and know to look out lol

[BadBoar30]

Woody- I can't remember for sure how wide it is..... But I think it's around 52 inches?? I will have to re-measure sure to be sure
