Team Nutz Returned to the Annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival 2022

BUTLER, PA (06.16.22) – The 11h Annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival took place June 10th thru 12th in historic downtown Butler PA and on the Cooper’s Lake Campground. Over 15,000 Jeepers attended the weekend and enjoyed off-road trails, obstacle courses and a huge vendor area filled with companies that offer aftermarket products for Jeep owners and enthusiasts. The downtown Butler Jeep Invasion witnessed over 1000 Jeeps parked along main street and parking areas in the town of approximately 13,000 located 35 miles north of Pittsburgh. Butler was named the 7th Best Small Town in America in a Smithsonian Magazine in 2012.

Team Nutz is located about 35 miles from the Jeep Bantam Festival and had a big footprint at the event.
AAMP Global’s Christian Venn is flanked by Rusty North (L) and Ed Nuttal from Team Nutz. North is with End Result and was on site representing AAMP Global’s Jeep intensive Stinger brand.

Team Nutz is a proactive 12volt retailer located in Pittsburgh and returned to the Bantam Jeep Festival for the 2022 run. Ed Nuttall related, “The JeepFest draws thousands of Jeepers, enthusiasts and their rides. That crowd is noted for adding aftermarket products to their rides. We do a lot of Jeep upgrades at the store, and being so close to our store in Pittsburgh, it makes perfect sense for our brand to be on site. We had a great crew on site with vendor support, a large booth area with multiple tents plus several demo vehicles. Sales this year were strong and our team made contact with quite a number of promising prospects.”

Attendance at this year‘s event was strong as it has been in past years.
Jeepers also spent time on trails located on the very area around the Butler area.

The Team Nutz team on site this year totaled 8 with strong support from Stinger Electronics’ Christian Venn and Rusty North from End Result. The AAMP of America Stinger booth was next to the Team Nutz tent. Several good customers and Jeepers were also adjacent to Team Nutz on the grounds.

The Stinger Heigh 10, which takes a Jeeper’s infotainment system to the next level, was one of the hottest products in the Team Nutz booth. On site installations were hampered somewhat by a shortage kits.

Tom Mays pitches a Team Nutz Blue Duck do a fan in downtown Butler.
Doug Burns rewards this vintage Jeep with Team Nutz Blue Duck… one of 1300 given out at the event.

“Stinger was a great support team, with Christian Venn and the AAMP truck, to work side by side at the event. With their expertise and products in the booth right next to our booth they spoon fed us sales,” Nuttall added.

Today Jeepers are showing their support for other Jeep vehicles with blue rubber ducks. “We made 1500 custom blue rubber ducks for the event and placed over 1300 on Jeeps we liked. Downtown we went down along parked Jeeps and put the blue ducks of hoods and around door handles. The blue rubber ducks had the Team Nutz logo for all to see and remember,” Nuttall related.

Rosie was popular and received three ducks including a Team Nutz Blue Duck. People reward Jeeps they like with small rubber ducks.
The Team Nutz booth stretched well over 100 feet.

Concluding, Nuttall stated, “This was our 6th or 7th time to exhibit at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival. Based on our success at this year’s event expect to see us at the 2023 event and beyond.

Car Toys Tulsa at the 19th Annual Rumble and Roll

TULSA, OK (06.10.22) – The 2022 Rumble and Roll, supporting the Make a Wish Foundation, was a huge success on Thursday, June 2nd. Well over 2000 motorcycle enthusiasts rolled through the streets of Tulsa to gather in the Brookside area.

Bikers assembled in the Brookside area of Tulsa during the Rumble and Roll Event

Charles Stewart, Car Toys Tulsa owner related, “We were an Event Sponsor and had a major presence in front of Churchill’s in the Brookside area of Tulsa which was the destination for the bikers. Bikers assembled at the University of Tulsa Reynolds Center and paraded down Peoria street. Through the years the Rumble and Roll event has raised nearly $400,000. for the Make A Wish Foundation.”

Car Toys Tulsa was set up in front of Churchill’s which was the center of the action Thursday evening.
Alex Stewart and Chance Rotert worked the event and give a big thumbs up under the Car Toys Tulsa tent.

In front of Churchill’s, Car Toys had a large tent set up with 2 bikes for demos plus a table spotlighting Rockford Fosgate products designed for bikes.

“Our bike business continues to grow. Putting the Car Toys Tulsa name, along with the Rockford Fosgate brand, in front of so many bikers during Rumble and Roll was amazing. At the event we gave a ton of demos, sold products, provided quotes and set up installations. In the first days after the event we did 4 jobs in our bay at the store. The average ticket was right at $2K each.”

Rockford Fosgate products were sold on site with swag and catalogs.
Bikers assembled at the University of Tulsa Reynolds Center for the Make A Wish ride to the Brookside area.

Concluding, Stewart stated, “There was a live band and so much energy at the event. Alex Stewart and Chance Rotert from the store were at the event with me and we talked with so many people. Car Toys Tulsa has been in the Tulsa market for over 3 decades and it’s amazing that people will say they didn’t know we worked on bikes, or boats. That’s another reason we like to work at off site consumer events. Can’t wait for Rumble and Roll 2023.”

Bike jobs underway in the Car Toys Tulsa installation bay.

Slamology occurs June 11-12, and KICKER has supported the show since its inception nineteen years ago. Founder Donnie Babb bills the event as family-friendly, yet edgy.

“We wanted a way to connect with our readers at Gauge Magazine and have a weekend-long party,” Babb explained. “That brought in droves of people and made the show one of the largest car, truck and car-audio events in the world.”

In addition to Slamology’s well-earned reputation as a first-class car show, it is also known to be the premiere car-audio event on the planet. USACi, MECA, IASCA and Bass Wars will all conduct independent multi-point, car-audio competitions, featuring hundreds of the world’s best Sound-Quality and SPL competitors vying for championship points, trophies and prizes.

Amplified Designs Joined DS18 at Jeepin’ The Coast

LONG BEACH, MS (06.07.22) – During the Jeepin’ The Coast run from June 1st through the 5th DS18 definitely showed all “We Like It Loud”. Amplified Designs was on site and added their newly wrapped 40’ trailer to the DS18 layout. With the DS18 40’ double stack trailer as a showroom plus multiple tents and Jeep demos Mr DS18 Rob and Yery “Cookie” were busy throughout virtually every minute of the event. A large 18’x18’ 2-sided graphic could be seen across the entire event venue to draw Jeepers to see the latest from DS18. The Amplified Designs team of 3 and trailer was right along side.

Kyle Wardell stated, “Our company is just down the road in Slidell LA. At our store we spotlight the Jeep customers and DS18 is our go to brand. Sales at the Jeepin’ The Coast event were strong and Jeepers really lied our new T’s and cps.. Just didn’t have enough JT Soundbars to meet the demand. At our store we may do 10 to 12 Jeep systems each week.”

Mr DS18 Rob Ferro related, “This was one amazing event. We saw so many new faces and fantastic Jeep builds featuring DS18 gear. There were definitely over 3000 Jeeps with even more Jeepers in and around Long Beach for the event. Amplified Designs, our dealer in close by Slidell LA, was on site. Kyle Wardwell and his crew sold a ton of DS18 amps, subs, speakers and tower speakers.”

Jeepers fill the venue throughout the event.

For the Jeepin’ the Coast event Amplified Designs rushed a complete graphic wrap on their 40’ trailer. Wardell relayed, “Austin Douroux absolutely did a killer job on the trailer wrap. He completed the wrap in just 21 hours and the trailer was a standout at the event right next to the DS18 40’ double stack trailer and showroom.”

Long Beach is a town of less than 20,000 along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. During the event the town was packed with Jeepers having a great time and Jeeps packed the streets and main drag in downtown. Vendor Village was located adjacent to downtown and very close to the beach.

New Amplified Designs caps ready for Jeepers.
No doubt this 2-sided 18’x18’ graphic let all know DS18 and Amplified Designs said “We Like It Loud” to Jeepers at Jeepin’ the Coast.

“The Vendor Village wrapped Saturday afternoon and all got prepared for the parade downtown. That parade was like Mardi Gras but for Jeepers and Jeeps. As an event sponsor DS18 lit up the ‘Shake the Street’ Parade. Again showing all at DS18 ‘We Like It Loud,’” Ferro stated.

During the ‘Shake the Street’ Parade DS18 sponsored 4 events. There were 30 Jeeps in the contest with winners receiving prizes for Best Sound, Best Install, Best Self-Made and Best Overall.

“The Jeepin’ The Coast was definitely a terrific event and we feel DS18 owns in market in Mississippi. Amplified Designs is adding to that every day,” Ferro offered.

Concluding Wardell related, “Our Amplified Designs location is just 44 miles down the road from Long Beach. At the Jeepin’ the Coast event we scheduled some jobs and anticipate more business from partnering with DS18 at the event.”
