The Australian Outback comes alive as dawn breaks, its vibrant hues lighting up endless bush tracks and rugged high country. For countless Aussies, these wild landscapes aren’t just scenic, they’re the heart of adventure. Nowhere is this truer than in the world of pig chasing, where grit, camaraderie, and the right equipment turn every outing into an unforgettable experience. At Australian Performance Boxes, we’re proud to be part of that tradition, and nowhere has our commitment to quality and innovation been more evident than in our ongoing partnership with Pig Chasing Australia (PCA).
The Origins: From Dorm Room to Outback Legacy
Founded in 2016 by Lachlan Fauchon, PCA began with little more than a boarding school dorm room and a relentless passion for the hunt. What started as an enthusiastic idea quickly evolved into a thriving community, uniting hunters, workers, and dog lovers across Australia. Today, PCA isn’t just a name, it’s a central hub for those who live for the chase.
Our Shared Mission: Equipping Outdoor Enthusiasts
From the outset, our partnership with PCA was rooted in a shared vision: to provide outdoor enthusiasts with reliable, top-quality gear that enhances every hunt and every journey, no matter the terrain. For years, we have worked closely with Lachlan and the PCA team to hone hunting setups that meet the relentless demands of bush tracks, river beds, and craggy high country ridges. It’s been a journey defined by collaboration, swapping stories, sharing expertise, and always asking how we can make every outing safer, more comfortable, and more successful.
Engineering for the Real World: UTV Tray + Dog Box
Central to any hunting expedition is the reliability of your equipment. After all, out here, your vehicle isn’t just transport; it’s your HQ. That’s why our UTV Tray + Dog Box range sits at the heart of PCA’s preferred setup. Engineered by Australian Performance Boxes, these heavy-duty trays and premium dog boxes are crafted to withstand punishing conditions and deliver peak functionality.
Our modular approach lets hunters and workers configure exactly what they need. Choose from robust trays, tailored dog boxes, or opt for the complete tray-and-box combo. To ensure nothing gets left behind (and nothing gets lost along the way), matching tray sides provide seamless integration, adding much-needed load containment and protection, vital when you’re bouncing between muster camps or threading your way through remote bush.
What sets our UTV range apart, and what has made it a staple for PCA, is the relentless focus on usability. Every latch, every weld, every panel is field-tested to ensure hunters can trust their gear for both weekday missions and weekend adventures.
LC79 1700mm Full Dog Box Canopy: Designed by Hunters, for Hunters
Yet, there’s one product that stands above the rest: the LC79 1700mm Full Dog Box Canopy. It’s the ultimate mobile basecamp for both man and dog. But perhaps its greatest strength is how deeply it’s tied to PCA’s ethos.
This canopy isn’t the result of guesswork or compromise. In fact, it’s a direct product of our collaboration with PCA and their deep insight into Australia’s hunting culture. Together, we asked: What does the community really need from a canopy? The answer came from countless kilometres spent on rainy nights and dusty days.
Key features include:
- Stainless Steel Whale Tail Compression Locks: Security you can trust, even when far from help.
- Full Weather and Dust Seals: Keeps the Outback where it belongs...outside.
- Twin Gas Struts & Aluminium Hinges: Smooth, reliable, and built to endure.
- Flush Dog Box Floor: No nook or cranny left unclean; quick rinses, easy drainage, and a healthier environment for your dogs.
We worked with the PCA crew throughout the design process, integrating feedback from real hunts and outfitting the canopy for both the hard-working days and the celebratory tailgate evenings spent with mates.
Our partnership with PCA is not just about building products; it’s about evolving together. The result? PCA’s gear setup stands up to the toughest scrapes the Outback can throw. Whether weaving between eucalypts on a tight bush track or tracking pigs across sprawling granite hills, our UTV trays and dog boxes deliver peace of mind.
Beyond Products: Building a Community
Of course, great gear is only part of the story. At its core, our partnership with PCA is about building a dynamic, engaged network of outdoor enthusiasts. When you invest in APBOXES and PCA gear, you’re joining a community that shares your values, resilience, respect for nature, and a drive to push boundaries.
The Road Ahead
From the earliest bush tracks to the daunting high country horizons, Australian hunters and their dogs have relied on smart, tough, and innovative setups to get the job done. We’re fiercely proud of our long-standing partnership with Pig Chasing Australia, and the products and community we’ve built together.
As the demands of hunting evolve and more adventurers seek out the wild heart of Australia, our commitment remains the same: equipping you, our mates and fellow explorers, with the very best gear, shaped by years of know-how and an unwavering love for the outdoors.
So, whether you’re tearing along the river flats, waiting for first light high on the escarpment, or swapping yarns back at camp, know that every latch, weld, and lock has a story, a purpose, and a mission: to make your next hunt your best yet.
Join the APBOXES & PCA community, where bush tracks lead to high country, and every hunt is an adventure in the making.
