Mad Cow Metal Works

Best designed drybox available. The workmanship is spectacular. Todd was good to work with. He was super backed up with work but was very up front about it and he put on the list. Once he got to my project he was great at communicating and I got exactly what I wanted.

I just took my first trip with my new Mad Cow frame and box. They worked super well! I’m thrilled with the design, adjustability and most of all with the craftsmanship. All the welds are uniform in height and width - clearly the work of someone who has honed their skills over multiple years. The frames aren’t cheap, but you get what you pay for - high quality!
When I ordered it they told me it would take 6 weeks, due to the COVID backlog. I was surprised by the wait time, but they promised to hurry. True to their word, the box and frame arrived within 3 weeks. It’s a small company and you

I ordered my Mad Cow Metal Works box just a month ago and received it today. I had told the team at Mad cow that I needed it for a river trip putting in on April 29 and they were not sure if they could get it done in time. But they did get it done and shipped on time which I really appreciate. The box is very well made and the welds look bomber. I am very excited to get this box on the river and by the looks of the construction I am sure that this box will return many years of great service. Thank you Mad Cow for getting it done in time for my first trip of the season.

Todd was super easy to work with and provided help in the planning and shipping process (which was not straightforward for us at all). The product is amazing and looks burly but also super clean welds. Looking forward to years of rafting joy with my new brutus box. If I could give six stars, I would.

Todd and his crew at Mad Cow Metal Works are phenomenal to work with and offer the most superior products on the market! When we first decided we were going to invest in a raft set-up this company is the only one we had the confidence in to get us into the best raft and frame set up for our specific needs. Through Todd’s expertise as a world class river guide he knew all the things we needed even before we did- Haha- We bought a raft, full frame, dry box set up and opted for a flip lid in the front with a drop bag. We have young children and the flip lid and drop bag are crucial for a successful

Great company to work with that delivers a very high quality product. Would definitely recommend and have no regrets on this "lifetime" purchase. Use to keep camping gear organized and stored.

Amazing quality boxes for rafting and other uses. Staff super helpful and will take time to make sure your box meets your needs. And they rushed delivery on a box for me for an upcoming float trip. Thanks. A+++

If you don’t want to settle for second best then Mad Cow Metal Works should be your only choice. I own a frame, 4 dry boxes a set of captains boxes, a couple Hollywood boxes and a few smaller personal boxes. I’ve experienced no leakage in any of these boxes through multiple Grand Canyon trips as well as several other multi day river trips throughout the West. I have several friends who have also purchased frames and boxes from Todd and Jim and their as impressed as I am. If you value durability and craftsmanship, give these guys a call.

Thank you to Todd and Jim at MadCow Metal Works. I am so pleased with the frame and dry boxes you built. The quality of your work is outstanding. Thank you for working through my ideas to build what I have been dreaming of for years. Thank you for being super responsive to my many questions. The customer service you provide is exceptional. I would recommend you to anyone who wants to invest in quality raft frames and dry boxes. It was a real pleasure to stop by the shop and finally meet you. Hope to see you on the river soon.

I ordered a full raft frame and dry box set up from Todd and crew. Their equipment is bomber! The frame is easy to put together and take apart and is incredibly functional. Place for dry box, cooler, and storage bag with seat on top. Best frame I have ever owned. I LOVE that the dry box is fully bear proof (and certified as such!). Essential for living in the west and keeping bears (and humans) out of trouble. This equipment will surely last for life and is worth every penny spent! Thanks Mad Cow crew for your incredible work!!
