BDS Kicks Off 2014 Show Season with SnoFari this weekend
BDS kicks off the 2014 Show Season with SnoFari this coming weekend. This annual event hosted by the Soldiers of Fortune Offroad Club (SoFo) brings out roughly 80 rigs for 2 days and nights of snowy 4wheeling around West Branch, MI. From budget built daily drivers to one-off customs there are rigs of all kinds out wheeling the snowy trails. We’ve looking forward to hanging out with old friends and making new ones. This marks the 8th annual event and will be held Friday January 24th through Saturday January 25th. BDS will be there in Project KJ, our 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD on 40s for the 4wheeling festivities. As with each year they will hold a banquet dinner Saturday night for everyone in attendance to grub out, share photos, and take home some of raffle items donated by event sponsors, BDS included.

BDS’s Project KJ makes it into Crawl Magazine
Many of you have followed along as Project KJ took shape over the last year. What started as a 2nd hand bone stock ’05 Jeep Liberty CRD was transformed last Spring into the unique low slung solid axled Liberty rolling 40s that you see today. We documented every step of the build with photos, videos, and weekly writeups as the BDS R&D team prepped it for a shakedown run on the 7-day, 1000+ mile offroad roadtrip known as Ultimate Adventure. Following that trip, bugs were worked out and its been out wheeling and promoting at shows around the country. During one weekend at nearby Rocks & Valleys Offroad Park in Harrison, MI we met up with John Herrick from Crawl Magazine who jumped at the chance to shoot the Liberty. Along the way John “crawled” behind the wheel (cheesy, I know) of the Liberty CRD for what ended up being…

BDS at the 2013 SEMA Show
What a year at SEMA… Record numbers, tons of new interest and a killer presence around the show, without a doubt one of our best years yet! This year marked our 5th year exhibiting at the SEMA looking back its amazing to see how far we’ve come since the company was founded 18 years ago. This year we teamed up with the other divisions of Sport Truck USA Inc (Zone Offroad Products, JKS Manufacturing, and Posi-Lok) to showcase new products and make some big announcements. The 25×80 booth space was transformed into a bar setting as we welcomed industry professionals, current dealers, and the media in for an ice cold beer and a casual conversation. We debuted a killer 2013 Ram 3500 sporting the BDS 8” 4-Link Conversion as well as the Project KJ, our Ultimate Adventure tested ’05 Liberty CRD. Needless to say, the booth went over well, the…
2013 SEMA Show Boasts Record Size
Over the last decade, there has been a decline in the automotive aftermarket. Often chalked up to the larger economic recession, the automotive aftermarket and off-road industry in specific have been on a roller coaster ride with a mix of corporate outcomes that have ranged from refocused business plans, changing market shares, and bankruptcy for an unfortunate few. BDS Suspension has braved the economic storm and come out stronger than ever with more confidence in its core beliefs of quality products, great customer service, guaranteed parts in stock, and an unmatched warranty. Annually the industry converges on Las Vegas, NV each November for the SEMA Show. SEMAÂ (Specialty Equipment Market Association)Â is a good marker for the industry as new trends emerge and companies show off their latest and greatest. Attendance from both exhibitors and buyers has been an indicator of the economic climate as poor attendance numbers and less than capacity…
