We took the BDS Tundra with a 7” lift along with our displays out to OK Auto’s “OKtober Truckfest” which was great success.  The weather cooperated with us, the turnout was great, and the vehicles were amazing!  Ok Auto does an awesome job putting the show together. The front parking lot was full of vendors showing the off their wares,  a singing duet for additional entertainment and the local fire department had a food tent going to keep everyone happy! A few folks besides the R/C crowd made way to the rock pile to show off their driving skills during the show. Ok Auto also had a table full of trophies to give out at the end of the show along with other prizes such as a BDS gift certificate for suspension products.

We took Ultimate Adventure TJ out for another carnage filled weekend at the Meridian Outback Off Road Adventure Park in Six Points, PA. This was the final event at the park for the 2009 season. This was the first Adventure weekend where it rained most of the time to make the rocks and trails that much more challenging. Unfortunately, mid-day Saturday, we successfully stripped the teeth off the Dana 35 ring gear on the TJ while trying to take the most difficult line and a rocky climb. We were able to drive it off the trail and almost did a field repair on the gears, but decided our time was better spent getting back out on the trails with the crew from Meridian Off Road. This weekend was the first time they opened the second 500 acres of park, now making it nearly 1000 acres of mild scenic trails to…
