This is a spectacle to be had for anyone interested in the automotive, RV industry or anyone interested in seeing the largest aftermarket accessory trade show in the world.  It takes place the first week of November in Las Vegas.  ...

No, it’s not how the next episode of The Walking Dead ends but I can tell you I had the opportunity to watch behind the scenes of the latest Torklift International video.   I watched as Amanda Watt asked our head engineer Chad Winslow about the various suspension products on the market.
