Indy Jamboree Recap
BDS Suspension: Indy Jamboree 2011 Well the guys from BDS made it back to The BDS headquarters in Coldwater, MI after a great show down in Indianapolis, IN. This year marked the 30th Anniversary of the Fall 4Wheel Jamboree Nationals in Indy and as expected they pulled out all the stops. Here’s what Shawn and Mike had to say following the event: Despite the cooler temps and rainy weather on Sunday, Â the turnout was great. The fairgrounds were filled with up throughout the weekend with the influx of trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, buggies, monster trucks, some oddball custom creations, and the crowd of thousands ready to have a great time. BDS was on hand along with a large number of other vendors to show off some of our newest products and chat with customers. We stayed busy throughout the weekend answering questions and showing off a sneak peek of the BDS…
SEMA Ciape Show in China
BDS Suspension in China for the 2011 SEMA Ciape Show BDS’s Andy Barbieri has made the long journey back from China following another successful SEMA Ciape Show. The show, which has some similarities to the design of the SEMAShow in Las Vegas each November, brings in companies from all over the world to showcase their new automotive products to the expanding Chinese market. BDS made the trip out to Beijing for the show and to meet with current and prospective distributors of our top quality, American-manufactured products. Among the distributors Andy met up with were two of our current distributors, BATT Customs which owns the white Tundra with the 7” BDS Â lift and To Jeep Racing who gave Andy the opportunity to get a little 4wheeling in after organizing with the local Jeep club. Boys and Their Toys Customs (BATT) in Beijing and To Jeep Racing in Shanghi were amazing…
The Scheid Diesel Extravaganza
The 2011 Scheid Diesel Extravaganza This was BDS’s first year attending the Scheid Diesel Extravaganza and we are happy to say that it did not disappoint. There were more diesel truck packed into the small town of Terre Haute, Indiana then you’d think possible. Well over 10,000 spectators and their trucks made the trip to watch and/or participate in the truck show, Tractor pulls, and diesel drags. Two dynamometers stationed directly outside the vendor barn kept diesel smoke in the air all day every day. BDS was the only suspension company attending the event this year, and there were plenty of  diesel truck enthusiasts interested in upgrading their over taxed stock suspension components. We had a great time answering questions and educating the masses on  the BDS product line. The show and shine produced some very nice and unique vehicles with some sporting BDS suspension lifts. Big thanks to the…
BDS Tundra up For Sale
BDS Tundra up For Sale It’s time to make room around the shop for some cool new projects. On the chopping block is the BDS Tundra, which has served us well over the past few years and is ready to excite someone new. The BDS Tundra has been a beast of a truck, making trips from the east coast to the west, wheeling in Moab and cruising up around Canada. It’s been garage kept (ok, so it’s our heated warehouse) and only driven on the weekends to shows (and occasionally around town during the week). We purchased it new from the local dealer back in late 2006 and it’s been used to develop our 3”, 4.5”, and 7” suspension kits. She (or he, depending on how you look at it) has been in magazines, featured at events, and served “its” time without complaint or complication. Check out the specs: 2007…
