When Drive Dogs go for a Drive-UPDATE


Recommended Posts

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

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 :lol )

Your platform is very creative!   We have ours stuffed with pillows and outside lounge chair cushions!  :lol

Yours looks so much neater than ours!  Paris is the ultimate digger and floofs up everything before lying down.  I am going to have to attach the top layer so it won't move, but that's a project for another day.  Where will you be taking your inaugural road trip?

:rofl Sweep :wub:

You guys! 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 :lol  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 :gramps :haha

Thank you all for the good vibes :bighug

How wonderful!  I currently have SubaROOO #6.  As long as I live in snow and ice, that's al I'll have.

Thank you. But have to ask, why so many? SubaROOs are 'sposed to last a very long time. Granted, I have at least a decade on ya and I'm just getting started :lol I really hope it's going to be the last ride we ever need to buy.

Hello! 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!

Am I the only one who can't see the images?  :dunno

The original images/links don't seem to be working. 2 posts up from yours there are 2 pics that I can see, but the others in the  entire thread aren't working.

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.
