SPORT TRUCK USA, with brands like BDS and ZONE are not the "leader and premier provider" of Jeep aftermarket parts.

Wow. Not certain how I feel about this. Could give JKS larger financial backing to explore more options or it could really water down the brand. I guess we will have to wait and see. I suppose that it is entirely possible that they just bought out JKS and will let the JKS heirarchy stay in place to continue what they have been doing.

Quite certain there might be a Internet retailer, or two, discounting their JKS merchandise because of this move- just saying.

I would have to say that that statement is just as opinionated as theirs. Just sayin'.

My guess is BDS kool-aid in a sipper cup- just inquiring.

BDS is quality USA made parts. They have been around awhile but just not strong in the JK market for some reason....my guess is marketing.
