OSAGE, OK (07.30.07) – Cody Landis had Code Zero Customs set up again at the Osage Casino SLAMBOREE outside Tulsa OK July 26th thru 28th. The proactive Tulsa-based retailer has had a booth at the event for the last six years with a tent showcasing products and company demo vehicles plus spotlighting custom enclosures for pick up trucks.

“In Oklahoma pick up trucks are very popular. Many pickups today are top the line trucks. Those owners demand a great look for their aftermarket upgrades. Showcasing the custom enclosures and systems we at our store is a great way to get the message out” Landis stated.

There were over 400 vehicles on display at the event as Cody, Bobby and Jenny were in the booth connecting with attendees. The demo vehicles in the booth included a 1950 Ford F pickup plus a 2-door Tahoe.

“All in all, this was another great event. We certainly spoke one-on-one with dozens of attendees and set some appointments for jobs. Having a booth at an event like this helps us showcase our work and drive business” Landis concluded.
