Haha thanks man...currently just running an old Rough Country 5" bracket lift (can't find more than 4" anymore), 33x13.50 Toyo MTs on 15x10 black steelies, stock 4.56 gears (way too tall for the A340H), and open diffs. I recently pulled the ball joint spacers because I couldn't find a shop that could put the damn thing in line, but I plan on reinstalling them once I find a shop that will warranty their friggin work. As far as trail-ability goes, she's no hard core wheeler but she'll get about as far as a rig with open diffs can get lol.

I would go for the rope or cable arrangement. The zip tied bungee wouldn't last with my Aussie...

Nice score and job on the box..

Thanks. The zip ties are just to hold the hooks in place when there's slack in the bungee...no strength required. Once I find a bungee strength that works with my dog's weight pretty well I'll make a finished version with crimped ends and carabiners.

Too many owners leave their dogs unsecured in the bed which can result in serious injury or death in the event of an accident. This is primarily to keep the dog from being ejected while at the same time giving a little stretch to avoid breaking his/her neck.

Thanks man...I'm pretty happy with it. I only spent $40 after paint and new gas lift supports for the lids, so it's basically a brand new box. Considering a new box is around $300 give or take, I think it's a pretty decent deal haha.

Thanks! I should have documented the install but I'm not really a write-up kind of guy. It's just a cheap Harbor Freight pump and tank.

I haven't timed it yet but it will fill the 5gal tank to 120psi in about 4-5 minutes. I'll probably upgrade if I find myself using it more than once in a great while. My primary use for this is going to be flat repairs so (hopefully) never more than one tire at a time.
