I hope this answers your light question about blinding your dogs. I have 2 small lights mounted on the front of the platform which prevents the dogs from being blinded also it helps me see where I am going. When I first built the platform I thought it was great until it was dark then with the dogs on the platform it prevented me from seeing where I was going, so I would highly recommend mounting some lights on your platform and get a toggle switch put in your cab. Most of the time I drive with the platform lights on only. Be careful on putting your strike box too high because the dogs will hender your view, but be careful on setting the strike box too low because you may hit a low spot and rip the box off and injure your dogs. Thanks for the duffey gate latch idea, I will have to check into that. On the question on the best stike dog it varies on who I am with and some days one will strike better than others. I dont put dogs on the top box very often because my truck has a nine inch lift on it and the dogs really don't like jumping off of it plus it increases the risk of injury for them. Hope this answered some of your questions.
