Tom's 4x4 Customer Appreciation Day

  At Tom's 4x4 Superstore in Chattanooga, TN hundreds of enthusiasts gathered as Tom and his wife put on a Customer Appreciation Day open to the public. Several members of SFWDA were there to connect with many new and regular Off- Roaders browsing around meeting the shop staff and the invited vendors. They even hosted a free lunch for all who came out. Inside his shop their deals all around as the day continued the crowd continued to grow, browsing the showroom and vendor booths. Tom himself then gave a memorable mention to Southern and what were all fighting for. Then they all gave away a bunch of free gear in their raffle.

Immediately following the raffle we all headed out to enjoy a day on trails at Adventure Off Road Park.
