BDS’s very own Chris Bowers just made it back to Michigan after heading down to OK 4WD‘s annual OKtoberfest. Here is his take on the event: OKtober Truckfest, what a show! Apparently no one around BDS Distributor OK Auto 4WD in Stewartsville, NJ is aware of a slump in the economy! OKtober Truckfest had  record registrations with over 170 vehicles along with (1) Blackhawk Military helicopter landing during the show!

Following the show and shine competition Jim O., owner of OK opened up the rock pile and test terrain to anyone feeling the need. The local volunteer fire department has the grilles fired up all day with food…
