    I've seen the lawn edging before and I must say it looks darn good for what it is. It's hard to imagine paying the amount they want for the bushwacker/etc ones offered. I mean they look nice but it's still 400 for plastic! Post up some pics when you do it, whatever you go with.

    Here is mine, actually it is a conveyor belt,
    used an angle iron as brace in front & rear directly bolted through to folded fender







    used some black silicon to fill gaps between fender & flare

    I didn't see this sooner. But I like the conveyor belt. And they look good
    Every accomplishment starts with a decision to try.
