I have a frabill ranger xl at it fits into my dads grand cherokee(95), my brothers grand cherokee(05) and it also fits into to my dakota bed with about 1.5' to boot I think my truck bedd is 6.5' so it should fit into a supercrew bed also. come to think of it it fit in my friends (01) supercrew tight tho

Check out the Otter Cabin or the Wild 2 at www.otter.com

I ran the Ice Camo Cabin last year and loved it. This year Im running the Ice Camo Lodge just so I can haul more gear now that I have a snowmobile.

The Wild 2 will be less expensive has a bench seat verses swivel seats and comes with everything you need but a tow bar and hyfax. If you think ya need that stuff. I do recomend hyfax on any sled though.

You cant go wrong with either house. New pole designs and windows stay plyable and I havent had 1 crack in the 3 years I have had them.

Otter Cabin fits in my S-10.

What he said. The cabin is the best size house in my opinion big enough for 2 large guys and managable enough for one guy. Plus I can get it and all my gear in a short bed s-10.

I have an F150 Supercrew with the short box. A 2 man Fishtrap Guide fits in the back just perfectly with room for an auger, shovel, log chain and bucket along the side. Plenty of room to roll the access cover shut as well, so everything is under cover. I've kinda been wanting to upgrade to a larger portable, but have hesitated because I'm afraid a larger one won't be as nice of a fit in the truck.

the wild 1 or the wild 2 man is your best bet! i have a 5'3" bed maybe 5'6" and it fits easily in my bed!

The wild houses are nice houses and sleds. But remember the have a bench seat in them which isn't as comfortable and more weight the the modular seat's, IMO.

The fish trap pro's are awesome one man set ups.

I completely agree with Drewski. My buddy and I each have a Fishtrap Pro and often times link them together. Mine has been modified with a Best king Kong LED strip light, which produces more than enough light, and Reflectix on the ceiling to hold in heat. I use a Mr. Cooker heater and a Vexilar. I have plenty of room while I fish, stay warm, and couldn't be happier.

fish trap pro all the way.

My buddy and I also link them together.

There is plenty of room for 2 holes, aheater and my marcum.

I'm short so the hieght isn't a problem. But for Scott who is 6'3" its kind of a pain. Other than that they are perfect.

I also have the fish trap pro and think it has more than enough room for one person. I drill 2 holes and still have room for my LX-5 and sunflower heater. I have a door front and rear that I can use as well. My buddy just got the frabil commando, and even though it's a little longer than my pro the commando is a lot narrower and the commando seat doesn't slide back and forth. If your a big guy the pro I feel is roomier. I'm not a big guy but now and then someone likes to go with me and I can just put a bucket next to me, a little crowded but it works.

I totally agree with NWBuck about the 2 man Fishtrap Guide. I can have it on my F150 with plenty of room for the auger, supplies and even have my tahnoe cover closed up over top to conceal the merchandise... smile

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
