Do you guys have any information on an aluminium atv dogbox? I sold mine a couple years ago and have busted the heck out of three plastic ones last year. The company i got mine from before moved or went out of business. The only one i can find is in nite lite.

Thanks for the info.

Owens makes one.

Further ahead getting one fab'd up yourself.
Those riveted ones are shit.
My buddy has a diamond deluxe (deluxe p.o.s) thats falling apart.
I had a welded aluminum one made up to the dimensions I wanted, linexed the inside.
Never have to get/buy/make another one...

owens got a good one i got one of them i tore the divider out so i can fit more dogs in it and it works great its all welded and not riveted good luck

Do you fellas know about how much for one these days?

thanks,jason

I don't own one but Owens ones they were selling at Autumn Oaks looked damn solid and nice...expensive...dunno how much but probably worth it...

I had two made up about three years ago. Welded, insulated and made to my dimensions with the door on the end I wanted and window on the side I wanted. I wanted the window so it was facing forward when the door was on the opposite side as the exhaust on the quad. I paid $200 ea. It was a guy in Indiana I believe.

Thanks for the info fellas. Fullcry, that is a dang nice set up you got there. Thanks for postin the pic.

i custom make any box or truck outfit you could want, not the thin cheap crap either. i have made several with lots of references, however cat season is on now so i cant gaurantee a rush. be happy to help you if i can, i donate a box a year to the u f h at their banquets. good luck.

Vaughndog, do you have any pics you could post?

the one he had at the ufh banq. was VERY nice and well made!!!

hey i will try to post some pics tomorrow after work.

Like you Poser, I got tired buying 1 or 2 plastic pet porters every season for my dog sled I pull behind my snowmobile. This past summer I built my own with a steel frame and an aluminum skin. Total weight is about 30 lbs which is half that of the one you can get through Nite Lite. I had around $200 in materials, beer, and bending fees plus about 16 hours in labor putting it together.

I don't know if I came out ahead building my own over buying a commercially made one, but I designed it to take a crash. I'll guarantee this one will be cheaper in the long run than spending $80 a pop replacing the busted plastic ones.

vaughn, i'd be interested in see'in some pics. Could you give us some prices too. Thanks for responding.

Kevin, haven't seen your trashy butt on here in a few years...... how are things? I would build one myself if i thought i could. The only thing i can make myself is a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich. I screw that up sometimes too.

Have a good one fellas.
