    Looking for pics and ideas regarding how to best set up a secure dog crate in the back of my DCSB. It will have a shell but I want her secured within a crate as well, especially during freeway driving.

    I'm thinking of using nylon webbing and ratcheting it down.

    Cheers

    That's what I've done, but I'm really wanting to get a dog box for my pups.

    What were your attachment points?
    How many nylon tie downs did you use?

    Use a ratchet strap around the crate and hook to the factory sliding tie-downs on the side rail?

    One straps through the kennel, to the front rail of the bed using the cleats to keep it from sliding. The dog's weight kept it from flying away.
