Just got back from the....
Bass Pro Shops East Peoria Grand Opening. It was nuts. Could not believe how many people were there. Thousands is an understatement. Funny thing was that I was able to get a parking spot relatively close to the front and the truck drew a HUGE crowd lol. I had several people approach me asking about this and that. My wife does not ride in the truck much and said "good lord" with all the people coming around it. When we left BPS I came out to a crowd bigger around my rig than the NASCAR's that were parked fairly close to it. Funny stuff. Way too many people for my liking.

Gavin, it was a nightmare. Doors were suppose to open at 6 but it ended up being 6:50. My family wanted to kill me during that wait but we made it. I could not believe how many people were there. Just nuts. I am glad there is one fairly close by. I buy a lot of crap online but still like to make the trip to BPS every once in a while. Kids love it as well.

Mine seemed to be suspension related and I also heard a lot of "look at those steps" (Amp Steps). The ladies seemed to love them the most. The guys liked watching my wife on the steps. It was a win win for all LOL.

You get more attention in a Superduty than you do in a Vette. I love it.

Sgt93,
I went by there last Saturday night and it was still nuts...I saw kids taking their dates there (Uncle Bucks?) for homecoming dinner...my son took his homecoming dates to Biaggies, he was bummed after I told him this.
Yes it was nuts!
