    Bower Power Hour Supports the Offroad Industry Businesses

    Episode Guests:  4 Wheel Parts Greg Adler, Quigley 4×4 Todd Quigley, Wheelers for the Wounded of California Kevin Carey, and the Backdoor Challenge at King of the Hammers

    MESA, ARIZONA   SEPTEMBER 24, 2015: Business is a passion of Charlene’s, and learning from leaders in the industry about their success path is always intriguing.  The offroad industry is primarily driven by enthusiasts and discretionary income, which makes business owners jobs extremely difficult.  The quality of the product or service has to be high to demand the consumer spending. When it comes to business, one of the leaders is certainly the TransAmerican Auto Parts conglomerate with 50 years in the business and multiple levels of business.  In this episode, we also speak with Todd Quigley a third generation Quigley continuing the family business and quality.

    This week’s Bower Power Hour Guests are 4 Wheel Parts Greg Adler, Todd Quigley of Quigley 4×4, Kevin Carey from Wheelers for the Wounded California, and Charlene takes us on a Bower Media Adventure to the Backdoor Challenge at King of the Hammers. Greg Adler takes us through the entire history of 4 Wheel Parts and successfully opening 70 stores, racing and being the Chairman of ORBA. Todd walked us through the ins and outs of creating 4×4 vans that are both fun and family friendly. Then Kevin joined the Offroaders Rock section to talk about how the Wheelers for the Wounded give back to our veterans and show them a good time on the trails.

    “It’s great to see so many off-road businesses growing and expanding.  When the economy dropped in 2008, so did most all of the businesses.  Those that slimmed down for the short term are now thriving during this up-turn in the economy.  It is awesome to see the shows full of strong and new vendors,” said Charlene Bower, Host and Executive Producer. “This episode brought two excellent off-road businesses to the table, both family run for generations. Greg showed us how growth can be achieved in establishing a brand name, and Todd demonstrated how finding a niche in the market provided ample room for growth. Kevin added how companies are supporting programs like theirs for Veterans, and of course most of the parts business is built on extreme wheeling and breaking or upgrading parts and luckily for me I made it up Backdoor quite a few times now without breaking anything.  Knock on wood!”

    Bower Power Hour Features Powersports, Monster Trucks, Mud Bogging, Jeeps, Desert Racing and Essentially Everything Offroad

    Episode Guests:  Yamaha Steve Nessl, Mega Truck Series Jeremy Forsyth, Kurt Schneider Land Use, and Tech and Tools with 30Pack Matt

    MESA, ARIZONA   SEPTEMBER 22, 2015: Bower Power Hour covers everything that defines offroad, not just one segment.  From the Powersports OEM UTV’s, motorcycles and ATV’s to Monster Trucks, Mud Bogging, Jeeps, Desert Racing and so much more.  We even recently had a Rally Racing guest talking about the cross over into the offroad market.  Everything that happens in the dirt, sand, gravel, and rocks is a part of the show.  Week by week, we continue to mix the guests to cross promote into the different niches of the marketplace.

    This week’s Bower Power Hour Guests are Steve Nessl from Yamaha Motor Corporation, Mega Truck Series founder Jeremy Forsyth, Kurt Schneider on Land Use, and 30Pack Matt installs RCV Axle Shaft and Synergy Mfg Ball Joints in the Craigslisticon. Steve Nessl unveils the latest ‘Pure Sport’ side-by-side from Yamaha, the YXZ1000R. Jeremy introduces us to the up and coming Mega Truck Series and gave us the run down on the trucks that compete. Kurt joined the Land Use segment to talk about being good stewards of the trails and wheeling responsibly. Then Matt headed back into the garage to install a RCV Axle Shaft and Synergy Mfg ball joints, bringing theCraigslisticon closer to completion.

    “I have always recognized that there are many different elements to what we consider the ‘offroad industry’.  Some sit in a niche, but I have always managed to cross between the niches getting an understanding and appreciation for all.  Bower Power Hour has allowed me the opportunity, to hopefully, introduce others to this cross-mix of the industry.  I build the shows so the featured guests are from different elements, so maybe one group can meet the other,” said Charlene Bower, Host and Executive Producer. “This episode exemplifies the extreme market that we call offroad.  Steve comes from Yamaha corporate who is celebrating 60 years of excellence and reveals the backdrop to the brand new YXZ1000R, while Jeremy talks about one of the newest event series and vehicle types in offroading, the Mega Truck Series. Then Kurt talks through being a responsible wheeler, which honestly depends on where you are, and of course we head out into the ‘everyday’ garage to see the Craigslisticon coming together!”
