    Will you be sticking with aluminum? I’m getting tired of removing, straightening, reinforcing and reinstalling my current AL skids.
    Glad to see a Canadian company getting involved!!!

    We do want to offer steel versions of our skids, the shipping costs are our biggest hurdle at this point.

    No plans to get into bumpers at this point. I would have a look at our friends at ARC-1 Industries for Canadian made bumpers!

    We are definitely trying to be competitive with our pricing. At $669 for the Engine and Transmission Combo, I feel we are priced lower that other comparable options. I could be wrong though!

    now we need to figure out which Tacos got them :spy:

    do you guys have any photos of these things installed? I'm curious about the coverage as compared to the stock OR skids since my one wing had bent and started to vibrate against some stuff again after a fun run in Bancroft,ON and with that, skids are the next thing on my list of things to get.

    I don't know if i *need* the skids yet since the OR ones are somewhat still holding up? maybe just a fuel tank skid? o_O

    I gotta ask the ON BS group what they all think about AL vs steel skids. I know i would need em if i wanna hit up Ardbeg or Concession since out landscapes call for more skids than sliders..
    If we convince everyone in the ON BS group to get em, think we can save a few more bucks with a group buy?
    :spending:
