I carry my dog in the back were ever we go so seeing that I had side rails and a sun roof to keep her shaded in the summer I needed to make something that I could use in the Pioneer.This is what I came up with,I used a small 1/4" thick by 1 3/4" flat bar and welded a 1 1/4" x 3" long piece of sq tubing to the flat bar for the pocket. I then bolted it down right above the bed tie downs using the same hole that the tie downs use. Built the stakes out of some 2x2 that are cut down to fit into the pockets. Made the side rails and the pieces to hold the roof on,everything is quickly removed or installed. The dog just loves riding around in the back,however she does get tied up in case she sees something that she wants to chase and try and jump out. I'v pretty much just taken most of the stuff that I had in my other machine and made it work and fit onto the Pioneer.

Looks good. I could see it really being put to use hauling limbs and whatnot.

I had actually ordered the p4 but when it came down to the extra cost with taxes etc: $2500 was a bit too much for me to take,especially when were always out with two machines for safety reasons.
