What a weekend!
The original plan was to head out to SEMA this year, but we figured we’d divide and conquer. Two of our guys went to Vegas, and the rest of us stayed back to put something special together for our customers here at home.
Sue and Chai from Bun Trail Welder had reached out a while back about their property in Cisco Grove. The spot was dope, and we could already picture a small campout there. So for November’s First Friday, we switched it up and invited our customers and followers out for our first-ever SHOP CAMPOUT.
The response as soon as we announced it was crazy! We capped it at 30 rigs so we’d actually have time to kick it with everybody. The weather was perfect, the food was amazing, the karaoke was karaoke-ing, and the people were the absolute best. It was especially dope seeing some of the customer rigs we’ve worked on out in the wild. We usually see these builds on a lift, so getting to see them out where they belong was pretty damn cool.
We spent a good chunk of Saturday checking out the rigs and buggies Stephen brought out from Boswell Extreme Offroad Adventure Tours and Recovery. He had a handful of beasts ready to eat up whatever trail you put in front of ’em. I ended up renting his V8 buggy to take my daughter for a ride, and I was pretty stoked she had as much fun as I did. One of the coolest things about Sue and Chai’s spot is that it has trails right on the property. You could go wheelin’ without heading out to Fordyce while everybody else kept kickin’ it back at camp.
By Sunday, we were packing up and people were already asking when the next one was. Some even threw out the idea of snow camping . We definitely want to do another one soon. In the meantime, we’ll be back at the shop for our annual FIRST FRIDAY TOY DRIVE on December 4th from 5–9 PM. Keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook for the next campout date.
Big shout-out to Sue and Chai for opening up their property to all of us. If you wheel, check out their portable Bun Trail Welder. You never know when you’ll need one out on the trail. And to everybody who came out, thanks for keepin’ it lit all weekend. It was dope getting to spend some real time with the people who support the shop.
See ya at the next one 🤙
