We love that color, green and pink will really "pop" on the river. Beautiful combo, thanks Haley, enjoy.
Some Brown "Bear boxes" for a national park trail/fire crew. First time weve done Brown boxes, turns out the trail crew wants to hide the boxes in the woods with there Pulaski`s and other equip, and gps mark there location. Sounds pretty cool. Just a fun fyi.
Looks like the smooth deck plates are taking off. Couple of frames and a drop top trailer getting finished up.
Thanks for your support and faith in our products we appreciate it.

We have a local company that will powder coat our frames. They did a great job..Couple of points to make on this process. Since we use adjustable sliders so you can personally adjust our crossbars to fit your needs this means the powder coat process needs to be done two times. Coated and oven cooked, then the sliders need to be moved then coated in the original location and baked again.
2nd point the slider area after the second baking leaves some imperfections in the coating as i tried to show in the pic. I think its fine but if you want coating perfection dont order the powder coat and shipping a powder coated frame may leave rub marks. Cost is approx $550.
NEW PRODUCT, we are now welding 1/8" aluminum "smooth" deck plates for those that want to put glue on foam on there deck plates like Sea Foam.
Be a while till there are on the web site but available now.
We added a new video titled "Alaska Peninsula Wildlife Expeditions Featuring Mad Cow Metal Works Bear Boxes".
Film crew " 45 North Films" is doing a Nat Geo documentary on coastal Brown Bears in Alaska and they were using our Bear Boxes for there expedition.
John Shier surprised us with a great video.
Thanks John.

Boat going out the door with ft and rr floors and rear seat without anchor. Rear hatch for airing the floor.
Thank you all for a great busy year. Merry Xmas and happy holidays to all.
Sour Apple powder coat on this #bearbox with a gear caddy and a tray...The sour apple really pops a lot more in person, it actually looks sour in person..no other way to describe it.. Ty is going to get lots of looks on the river with this box.
Great pic of Jed with "River Forks Lodge" heading down the main salmon with clients, and some Mad Cow parts. Thanks for the pic Jed.

A friend of ours Chris, sent in a few picks of his 14 day pack in camping trip up on the Beartooth Plateau and along for the ride are our bear resistant horse panniers. Major Grizzly country close to Cooke city,MT. Great picks Chris, thanks for sharing.
We finally got around to updating our web site a bit. Yaaaa.
We updated frames,floors,anchor systems etc. Makes things much easier
To navigate with a few more pics added.
Had to post this pic. A local montana Gold prospector had us make a double walled Bear certified lunch pale for him since food storage containers are mostly required on all federal lands. This pic he sent is the back of his side x side loaded down with his tools and lunch.

We just purchased a large lot of pipe for our frames, floors and anchor systems. Due to the quantity of pipe purchased we received a large discount, back to 2020 prices. So we are passing the savings on to you. Frame and footbar are now back down to $1550. Happy rafting.
