Truck Kitted Out For Dogs Etc Etc. . Show Me Pics For Ideas Please

[Guest vin]

Hello all.

 

I've just got an L200 and wondered how any of you chaps have kitted out the back for the dogs and other uses etc etc.

 

I've always had little vans that are so easy to hang things up in and find a space for everything.

 

There's limited space in these big daft 4 x 4s ..its git a dog guard on the hardtop rear cover and plastic boot liner...but apart from that..its empty.

 

I remember Sock;s having a split floor and a duel tank etc etc.. Where do I start.

just behind the front seats is the gun cabinet all the back seats are for the dogs as they were removed and plastic fitted for cleaning as well as dog grid in the rear it has a turret that opens so you can shoot out of it as well as tray and a winch so you can get the biggest things you shoot in with ease its ex forestry commission

I think it's better to have the truck kitted out in some way, especially if your going out regularly.

It's better knowing the animals & kit are safe and sound and helps to keep everything organised.

Commercial set-ups such as game hawker & lint ran can be very costly , there not always that good either...

The next option is to approach a metalworker / carpenter with a design & have something made.

This is a good way to get exactly what you need and saves 50% off the cost of the above.

Finally is the good old DIY , not always fantastic to look at ( dependant on skill ) but practical and cheap.....

Take a look at Simon whiteheads home made drawer system / dog box combo....
