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.

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. Check out the link in our bio or at you tube. #bearbox #aluminumraftframes #aluminumbearbox #igbcbearbox #aluminumdrybox #drybox
