25 Rigs Under the Gun for the Ultimate Adventure
Right now 25 rigs are under the gun in preparation for the 2014 Ultimate Adventure (UA). With a mix of invited readers, event sponsors, event cronies and magazine staffers all in the scramble to finish up their builds, there is just 2 weeks until the group hits the road from all corners of the states and beyond to rendezvous at the secret start location for this year’s trip. The chatter online has revealed this year’s crop of rigs in various points of disarray from a PowerWagon that was just cut in half to a Blazer getting built from the ground up and numerous rigs in the test and tune stage.

Ultimate Adventure 2014 Prep Underway- Project KJ
BDS Suspension is the official suspension of the 2014 Ultimate Adventure (UA), a week long, 1000+ mile offroad trail ride/back road journey hosted by 4Wheel & Offroad Magazine each year. We’ve been lucky enough to sponsor the event over the years, wheeling all corners of this great country building the type of friendships one can only make after 7 days spent without showers out 4wheeling, camping, and wrenching together. With roughly 25 vehicles in attendance, one perk of sponsoring the trip is one of the coveted spots to bring a trail rig to drive. Attendees include the event sponsors, magazine reps, camera crew and a half dozen hand-picked magazine readers in everything from JKs to flattys, Scouts to Blazers, PowerWagons and Tacos. Representing BDS this year we’ll have Dave Devormer from our engineering department and myself, Carter Reed from the marketing department taking on the UA in a 2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel. In…
