With the summer fading fast BDS loaded up the rigs for one last hurrah at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears, MI. Holiday weekends are always a blast bring out the masses as trucks, Jeeps, dune buggies, sand rails and other barely legal oddball creations make. Labor Day in particular has a “Go Big or Go Home” mentality with this being the last chance to wheel their rigs before the cooler weather sets in.<\/p>\n

BDS made it up for a relaxing weekend with friends and family, days spent on the dunes or at the beach and nights spent around the campfire telling stories. The BDS 1\/2-ton Chevy running the BDS 6” Performance System<\/a> and 35s had no problems soaking up the bumps all weekend with plenty of power on tap to charge the massive dunes. For the BDS KJ<\/a>, it was it’s first time at the dunes. While the Jeep was built primarily for trail-riding and rocks, it held its own out on the sand. The mighty little diesel put out gobs of torque and the deflated 40s helped the 5000+ lb KJ float on top of the soft sand. The 14” travel Fox 2.5 remote C\/Os soaked up terrain and when we launched a few dunes the PRP limiting straps and Fox 2.0 bumps kept the suspension within spec. BDS also had a number \u00a0of employees up at the dunes driving their personal rides, some TJs, JKs, an Avalanche, a sand rail and more to enjoy the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

All in all it was a great gathering at the dunes with beautiful weather and great people to spend it with. We chatted with a number of people and had a blast showing off our rides and checking out theirs. Take a look at some of the photos from the holiday weekend at the dunes and to see more of the action, head to the album on the BDS Facebook Fan Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
