i was wondering how everyone rigs on the hood is it possible to make a big piece of fabric the length of the hood and be able to take it on and off by some straps under the hood. then u can sew some d rings real real tight with alot of thread to the fabric instead of putting a eye bolt through the hood. this way u dont mess the hood up and u dont have to get a spare hood to put on and off cause that would be a pain in the balls im just tryn to get some ideas for rigging

johnsons upolsrty in redding ca makes them they attach under the hood with fabric snaps

Why rig on the hood they will do it just as good on the box. Dewey

X2 on the johnsons upolsrty he does some great work. All of the real hood rugs I have seen are made without putting an I-bolt through the hood. And many are very easy to take on and off. The thing that you want to remember is if you leave it off to long they are a pain in the back side to get back on.

how much do they cost usually i live in maryland that alot of shipping what r they made out of also

Why dont you give him a call he can tell you what one would cost even be able to tell you how much shipping would be.

all joking aside , the dogs may strike the same from the box or the hood but if their on the hood you can watch them and it gives YOU a chance to learn something from your dog

i gave him a call but no answer i probably can make one myself i have a ton of cordura fabric but i was wondering what they use i would think they would use waterproof cordura just like cut vests and collars. what do u guys think?

my best rig dog goes from the top of the cab to the tailgate. 70 % of the time she is on the tailgate. keeps the cold wind off her i guess. i just put that sticky stuff for skate boards on the cab of my truck for trackion.

My best rig dog prefers to drive and call all the shots herself!!!!
just kidding I couldn't resist---LOL!!

I have seen Tim dog driving, she is hard on fenders but does ok. She can box from there too. Tim you had back when I need it. Dewey

the hood carpets made by johnson are 250 plus shipping that is with black marine carpet and vinyl under the carpet. also has 2 d rings and fastens under the hood

Yep sounds about right, I know some of the newer rigs it runs a little more then older rigs due to hood size. His are made out of some very high quality marine carpet too. It not just some cheap crap, I was talking about this same stuff on a post a while back. I know a guy that used that same marine carpet on top of his dog box and its been on there for 20-25 yrs.
