This is the latest in a series of accolades for the truck as it tours the country following its original debut at the 2019 SEMA Show in Ford's booth. Built over the course of about 2.5 months by the team at BDS Suspension, completed overhaulled this once run of the mill Super Duty into a capable overlander packed with all the right gear from the 6.7L Powerstroke diesel, plush leather interior, a custom service box, recovery gear, a BDS 4" lift kit and massive 40" tires. This truck is right at home whether hitting the trails or towing trail rigs from location to location.

Our 2020 Ford F350, better known as #ProjectGoBeyond, was our 2019 SEMA build. This rig is now hanging out in Colorado with our Sales Rep, Miles.
This rig underwent a lot of customization to get to become what we consider the ultimate overlanding rig. You can read all about it here and check out the build specs on the right --> We are looking forward to taking it out for some true overlanding adventures as soon as possible.
Also hanging out in Miles's driveway is a Toyota FJ cruiser. This rig is used more so as a daily driver, but it has been out on some pretty fun adventures as well; including the National FJ Summit. We've included a few photos from this event below.
Stay tuned for more employee ride features coming out soon. If you're a customer or dealer running BDS and think we should feature it, send in photos and videos for your chance for us to spotlight your ride.
