We're Not Crying, You're Crying

what doesn't kill you, becomes podcast content

An Update from the team at EPIC

After many years of custom builds and product development, EPIC is entering a new chapter.

Our shop is no longer accepting new projects and we've paused manufacturing our products for the time being. The support we've received from this community has been incredible and we're deeply grateful to everyone who purchased a product, watched a video, attended an event or simply followed along.

As a Canadian company using primarily US-sourced materials, recent tariffs, rising metal costs and increased cross-border shipping expenses have made our product manufacturing increasingly challenging. While we explore opportunities to move production closer to our customers, we're putting new product development on hold.

A question we hear often is, "Why not just manufacture in the USA?". The short answer is that we've been actively working toward that goal. Establishing manufacturing in a new country takes significant time, investment, partnerships and resources to do properly. We believe it's the right long-term path, but it's not something that can happen overnight.

If you know of individuals or companies that may be interested in helping us continue the EPIC product line, we'd love to hear from you. Whether that's licensing our product designs, forming a joint venture, acquiring manufacturing rights, purchasing the brand or exploring another creative partnership, we're open to conversations and new ideas. Hit us up.

The good news? The content isn't going anywhere - in fact, it's growing faster than ever.

Over the past few years, our community has embraced the videos, podcasts, product reviews, technical discussions and adventures we've shared. As we approach 50,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly one million monthly views, it's clear that people value honest, no-hype, real-world information from enthusiasts.

Expect more podcasts and more practical advice to help you make informed decisions before spending your hard-earned money on your Jeep or off-road vehicle. Our goal has always been to cut through the marketing hype and share the experiences, successes and mistakes that come from operating a shop and living this lifestyle every day.

We're incredibly excited about where this part of the journey is headed, and we can't wait to bring you along for the ride.

~ Cheers from the Team at EPIC
