FiveRoooooers Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 We are just about set up in the Forester aka BOH2, a few tweaks and additions and we'll be done. Annie Ooohh and Punkin took the inaugural ride and while Annie Ooohh at first was unsure both girls settled riteawayquik and loved the new BOH2 ! This is the platform from the original BOH; all that needed doing was to saw off the bottom of the supports (four of them - I almost gave up Crossfitting that day after that, lemme tell you ) One kennel bed in place, another on order as is the hammock cover thingy Big thanks to my helpers behind the scenes who have been invaluable sources of information and support Road trip! Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin. AnnIE Oooh M, Ebbie, HollyBeeBop (Betty Crocker). Angels: Pal . Segugio. Sorella (TPGIT). LadyBug. Zeke-aroni. MiMi Sizzle Pants. Gracie. Seamie . (Foster)Sweet. Andy. PaddyALVIN!Mayhem. Bosco. Bruno. Dottie B. Trevor Double-Heart. Bea. Cletus, KLTO. Aiden 1-4. Upon reflection, our lives are often referenced in parts defined by the all-too-short lives of our dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much more headroom and room in general in the BOH2 than the BOH1. It's only neat in there now because, well, our inaugural road trip was to the post office, and knot everyone came with Since there are many vehicles that the BOH2 resembles, in order to locate it easily in a parking lot it is now sporting ribbons on both sides of the roof rack, because, you know Thank you all for the good vibes Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

Any chance you’d be willing to repost these photos? I bookmarked this thread last fall, fully intending to build a similar bridge/platform for our ‘18 Forester over the winter. Turns out that was a little bit aspirational, lol, but I’m thinking it’s time now that spring is in the air. Thanks!

LBass Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) My sister and I are both on Subaru Forester #2. We both got 15+ years from our first ones and well over 200K. When I traded #1 in at the Subaru dealer they were actually eager to get him to sell used. Edited March 28, 2021 by LBass Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.
