    Do you have S.H.E.M.S (Saddle Hunter Equipment Mania Syndrome)?

    I send my packages to my home but i also erase all emails once my product comes in. If i sent my stuff to my work those buggers would never let me know where it was put.

    DIY 4 step aider for Wild Edge steps

    After the retie. I am super happy woth it. Used the wider flat hook more comminly found on car hauling straps. It fit right on the crossbar of the wild edge step snug with no chance of sliding like with the standard hook. Even if the steo ends up slide to an angle it stayed solid

    Another DIY platform

    Looks great! I thought about going with larger foot areas on mine too but since i cant yet weld ( have a welder coming my way and a father in law that has been welding for over 20yrs as a profession) i went with what would be easiest for him to tack together for me.
