This step has an interesting shape, more like a broad arrow head than the beaver tail it is named after. The unique shape makes it very easy to thread a recovery strap through and\/or around it for secure use.<\/p>\n<p>As for its construction, it is SOLID piece of steel which is then powder coated. As it is a solid piece of steel, it is quite heavy for its size. This construction means that it is extremely heavy duty. I am a bigger guy and I can jump on this step and it does not budge.<\/p>\n<p>My only complaint is that it is a little loose in the 2&#8243; hitch, so it will rattle around a little if you do not do something to tighten it up. I decided to wrap the hitch portion with a few layers of electrical tape. It is nice and tight with the tape and it should also help prevent it from rusting in the hitch. I would also recommend a good locking hitch pin so it does not walk away.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/06\/hitch2.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Simplest way to add a stepping point to get into your pickup truck&#8217;s cargo area<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26864"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26864"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26867,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26864\/revisions\/26867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
