I bought a new car for the dogs today and I will probably pick it up in two to three weeks. It is a dual cab ute and I am getting a canopy on it. I wanted to be able to leave the tailgate down and rear window up at shows to let air in. I thought about getting a custom made 'cage', preferably divided, for the back so that the dogs could still be secure. Does anyone know where I can get one made?

I contacted one of the companies that ARB recommended and they seem really good. They will make the cage exactly how we wanted it and at a reasonable price. We have specific requirements and they were no trouble for them. They are even going to make a ramp for the dogs to get into the back and it will fit beside the cage.

I have had the ute for about one month and I am about to contact ARB for more recommendations again. The people I was going to use have badly let me down and I would not recommend them to anyone again.

Does anyone in Adelaide have any other recommendations?

Hopefully, google is my friend. I spent hours last night searching online for someone who would make a dog cage for me. I found a few possibilities. Today at work, I decided to ring one of them. This was the last company on my list but I decided to call them first for some reason. After talking to the owner, I found out that they actually make and install cages for a lot of the council ranger vehicles and the RSPCA amounst a lot of other things.

I decided to drop in there after work today as I had an early finish. I was impressed with the owner. He measured up while I was there. When I told him exactly what I wanted, he said that it wouldn't be any problem. I am just waiting for the quote but I am pretty sure I will go ahead and have them do it.

Sounds great! What kind of car do you have?

I'd be interested in getting something similar for my dual cab when I get it. The only requirement would that it needs to be removable, so we can go camping with it still.

I have a SsangYong Actyon Sports 4 x 4 Dual Cab Ute. It is about one month old now. This is a photo taken the day I bought it and it was clean. :laugh:

That was also one of the requirements for us too. I can give you the details once it has been completed and if/when we are happy with it if you would like. They are at Beverley. I can also let you know who not to use. :laugh:
