Smittybilt Beaver Step (Black) - 27046B

So, your receiver hole's just sitting there looking ugly? This thing looks darn cool, but more than that, it is useful, in at least two ways: It's a step, and its a hitch point for a tow strap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vqGdIA61mw

This is a very simple product & functions very well!!! Nice heavy duty product.

Haven't used it for anything but looks but it looks strong enough to use as a hook point. Wasn't impressed with the way it fit in the receiver. Way to sloppy and would rattle when driving vehicle. To cure the problem I drilled a hole in the bottom of my receiver tube and tapped it for a half inch bolt. Installed bolt and a jam nut and now it fits tightly.

The step works well with ski boots on. Though it can be a little slick. Still better than stepping on a hitch ball. Also you are less likely to pound your shin on this step in the dark due to its shape. It works as a very effective stinger and solid strap attachment point too. It may be a little loose in the receiver but that helps it from becoming rusted in-place like the hitch ball that it replaced.

Love the Beaver Step. Wish 4 wheel parts would have set mine aside since I waited 2 months for it to come in. When it did come in they called I came in about a week later and the only one they had left was on the shelf just waiting to be sold. Thanks for looking out for me 4 wheel parts! But love the Step!

Works great as a step; only downside is there is a little slop in the connection to the reciever so the Beaver Step wiggles a little bit. Haven't needed it as a recovery point yet but it's very easy to get to and is build very solid. No issues about using it when the time comes.

This is a really heavy duty step. One has to be careful though while stepping on it because it tends to be slippery. Some grip tape might be in order...
