For the third year in a row I was blessed with the opportunity to represent BDS at the Annual Eastern Truck and Accessories Open House and Customer Appreciation Day. This all day event, held May 23rd at Eastern’s retail location in Norfolk Virginia, is always “the place to be” if you are a truck or jeep enthusiast.  The Event hosts a Truck Show and Shine with trophies given out in 10 different categories. Vehicles began to arrive as soon as the gates opened at 10:00 a.m. and by 11:30 the main lot was full and participants were utilizing the overflow lot next door.

The kiddies in attendance were treated to a face painting clown who was kept busy for more than 3…

There was another great turn out at this year’s Lima Jamboree despite the cooler temperatures and occasional sprinkles. As always the events rocked, the variety of jeeps and trucks was astonishing and the people were great. The BDS booth generated its share of interest and I got to catch up with old friends and all the great fans of BDS kits that keep spreading the word about our quality, service, and unbeatable lifetime warranty. It’s great to hear so much positive feedback.  My favorite part of going to shows is talking to potential new customers and helping them make informed decisions about the right kit for their vehicle and what makes BDS so special.
