    Will you ship to Alaska, and do you know the shipping cost?

    Being a fairly new company, we would like to first establish our roots here in Canada before we expand. With that said, we are always looking for ways to grow, and would like to offer our products south of the border at some point in the future!

    It's just sunlight and shadows - the photos were taken outside. All skids are raw Aluminum, no paint.

    Yeah definitely up for a rear diff skid. Lowest point on my 2nd gen. Gotta ask, how well does the bare aluminum hold up? Was just looking at your front skid. Putting a Bush gear fab bumper from salmon arm on in the next week or so. Trying to keep everything local. Gotta support them bc buds;)

    The raw Aluminum has been holding up quite well. I've had them on my daily driver for nearly 2 years now, and they are only slightly faded.

    We also will be looking into the rear diff skids

    Just added our new LCA Skids to our website! www.okexpedition.ca

    Looks like I'll be adding Rear Diff Skid to the design list!

    There's nothing shady about the metric system
