Helluva rig
Happy St Patrick's Day! Hope everyone has a fun and safe one.
What a great start to the weekend. I'm the furthest thing from Irish, but I got in the spirit and whipped up some Corned Beef and Cabbage for my Irishman.
Have a great weekend!

sorted my ebay dog-guard out. it has reasonably decent fittings onto the headrests, but I think they would just bend or break in an accident.
happily, there are lots of unused grab handles around, and Carabiners will slide on and wedge into place firmly.
a little wire rope and a few clamps later..
I wound the tension on the main rear support first, then wound the wire at the front tight to lock it into place.
now the thing is rock solid and has a much better chance of at least slowing down 90kgs of dogs
and my OME 2861/2 lfit a couple of weeks ago, plus another 2 years since I had to build my old boy a dog ladder, meant he couldn't get in anymore even with his step, so that got an upgrade too.
I added a L shaped hook to the top, which with a little bending/twisting outwards now hooks into the tailgate latch, while wedged against the release handle, which holds it in place, plus I raised the step another 2" and carpeted it so his big ol' paws don't slip.
plus when Granny comes to visit, she' ill be able to use it too
have a good weekend Mudders

Slightly OFF-Topic but perhaps helpful.......
When I had a dog, I found that the best way for her to enter the rear was to walk her for a distance behind the truck then give her enough ground to run and then jump into the rear instead of her being right behind the truck/under the lift gate/barn-door and try to let her get up into the rear, which was much more difficult. Lift gates seem to be much easier than barn doors as the lower lift gate would offer a good jumping platform into the rear, I have barn doors and the rear step of the bumper was the only platform available for this trick. Training was very easy and whenever we were going wheeling all I had to do was to let her sit about 10-15' from the vehicle, open the barn doors, give her the command and she'd run & jump into the rear on her own ! She was a lovely 60lb Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Yep this works great, we have 3 dogs that do this. Well, 2, the other 1 wants to but she's a little older so I just lift her up to be safe instead.
yea, unfortunately he's never been a jumper, and he's getting old now and got a bad back, he doesnt run anywhere, but used to be able to get his front paws on the tailgate then get lifted in. then the step gave us another 18 months or so. but he's gotten a little worse and the tailgate just raised a bit too.
the other one is like Zebedee, one boing and shes inside, steps not required.

@LS1FJ40, I drove that '92 I bought on the freeway the other day. Once it gets past about 60 it flies up to 85 like nobody's business! I have to be careful not to speed. It holds 80 at about 2500 RPM. I think you've been lying about how slow they are so you can have more for you. Not going to win a drag race against a tractor until 3rd gear, but it does better with 31's than my 1fzfe does with 33's! It's getting harder to want to sell this thing.

Got rid of the unused disk changer. There is so much room under there. Will be going back later with better wiring and install the inverter instead. In the mean time the kiddos have power.
