I can't remember the brand. I need to add some rings. The sides fold down. When they're up they cover stake pockets which dont make sense.

I won't see it for 6 weeks at best.

Edit: i think the brand is TM

Yeah it’s TM made by Cm out of Oklahoma.

I have a CM and I love it.

I really like their designs. I'm leaning towards these guys.

Just got home from getting mine built and installed. I’m definitely happy with the craftsmanship and overall design. They were a great company to work with.

Why the wood deck?

Helping my daughter haul some fencing materials last Friday, as we were throwing T posts on the metal deck she asks if it was going to hurt it.🤣

Nope, just scratch it up some, that’s what’s it made for.

Still running those Revolvers.
Wish I could have got another pair for my new one. :(

Didn’t want the steel, wood will soak up the leaks from the fuel nozzle on the slip tank, and I just like the contrast.

Yep I’d like to get a new set and move these to the old 85, haven’t looked at availability though, now you got me worried

It looks so good! I have my mind made up I'm getting the same thing. The fit and finish always looks fantastic all while being very functional. I like the idea of wood also for how I'll use it.
