Memorial Day Weekend at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears, MI. After a long cold winter it’s the first opportunity to gather up the Midwestern trucks, jeeps, sandrails, quads and motos for a weekend of 4wheeling on the sand filled state land. With sunshine and temps in the low-to-mid 70s all weekend long you can bet the dunes will be packed with bad ass rides. BDS is heading north for the weekend to spend some quality time up at the dunes. We’ll have a few of the company rigs out and will be spending some time at our local dealer/Silver Lake go-to shop, David Allen Racing. The shop is located right next to the entrance to the dunes, offering up everything from food and dune flags to riding gear and BDS lift kits.

BDS Suspension is excited to be the official suspension sponsor of the 2014 Ultimate Adventure (UA) hosted by 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine. This annual event held each summer brings together 25+ trail rigs for a week of hardcore no whining, follow the leader style 4wheeling, camping, and back roads as the convoy takes on the challenging terrain of a region in the US. The group averages 1000+ miles over the weeklong journey and hits 4-5 trails along the way. The kicker is always not knowing the UA start location until just weeks prior. Each day on the trip at the daily driver’s meeting the group finds out from leader Rick Pewe whether it’ll be trail day or a 300-mile road day to get to the next spot, sometimes both. One of the reasons we like to sponsor the Ultimate Adventure has to do with participate in the event as well. Building a…
