Watch the 2015 Ultimate Adventure Video
The 4wheeing trip of a lifetime and if you’re up to the challenge of a weeklong hardcore offroad adventure its one you should have on your bucket list. The Ultimate Adventure hosted by 4Wheel & Offroad Magazine is a weeklong 1200-mile 4wheeling trip across multiple states with about 25 rigs split between magazine staff, sponsors and selected readers. No trailers or support vehicles, you need to be self sufficient with tools, spare parts, and food for the journey. Its a mystery what each day of the trip will bring as you follow Rick Pewe on the route he mapped out. This year BDS was the official suspension once again bringing the Crawlorado, a bad ass V8 powered 1st Gen Colorado as well as a 2015 Colorado to shuttle the magazine and video crew around from trail to trail. Each year the magazine features the event in multiple issues of the print publication,…
2015 Ultimate Adventure: BDS Recap and Photos Available
Its become somewhat of a yearly ritual with 5 out of the last 7 years attend 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine’s Ultimate Adventure as the official suspension. Each year (always over the July 4th week) the event is secretly organized in some region of the United States. The location and day to day plan is kept a mystery only the start and end points are known for those that want to drop a trailer for before or after. What isn’t know is how we’ll get there, some days are trail days and spent navigating difficult terrain while others are road days where the convoy covers hundreds of miles to get to the next destination. Road days are always dedicated to the highway as this year we made detours to run local trails along the way, crush cars with a tank, invade military surplus stores, and even a canoe race. The trip runs Saturday to Saturday…

BDS Colorado hits the trails for the 2015 Ultimate Adventure
In addition to Project Crawlorado the bad ass 2011 trail built V8 Colorado we’re running this year, BDS was asked to bring a second vehicle to haul the social media crew around. After debuting our 2015 Colorado kits at SEMA last year, we took this opportunity to revamp the BDS Colorado to hit the trails as the official “media” support vehicle of the 2015 Ultimate Adventure. Along with being able to navigate the back country terrain, the rocks, and mud, this 2015 Chevy Colorado is carrying 4WOR’s social media team along the trip to each location. 1000+ miles spent with phone chargers, camera batteries, and computers hooked up to every outlet bring you the latest from where ever the journey may take us. The truck is now running the production 5.5” BDS Lift Kit with preproduction Fox 2.5 Remote Coilovers. We pulled the Zone 1.5” body lift, 35” tires and bumper mounted curved 30” light…
