Stopped by SEMA today. The size of this event is overwhelming. I might stop by again on Thursday. I was using a point and shoot digital so the photos are not the greatest.

What's interesting is as were walking around there were numerous Chinese companies with some cool stuff scattered around. I told my buddy we come down here in another five years and it'll be nothing but Chinese.

Well we took a stroll through the tire/wheel area an lo and behold we did not have to wait the five years because we were surrounded by weird tires and wheels we'd never heard of before.

But before that, a cool Datsun

Sema is a blast I used to go every year when I lived down in So Cal. I will say you can walk that thing for three days straight open to close and not hit all the booths. The best part is on closeing day the vendors really hate to pack all the product up, so most of them will just give it away !! We used to come home every year with a truck full of freebies!! Great event I encourage anyone who can to go at least once.

What's this about free product. If that's the case I'll go hang out by ARB, Yukon, and Eaton to see if they don't feel like packing up a set of gears and lockers. Then head over to BDS and see if they've got any long arm kits that won't fit in their truck. :D:D

One thing I did find real interesting was this electric fan company that I never heard of.

It's worth having a look if you might be thinking of an electric fan.

http://assets.bankspower.com/friday_inline_images/503/Jeep_turbo_engine_lg.jpg

I want it.. But I think that the collector under the oil pan, would be crushed to death on an offroad rig by the front axle!!

Just at the airport awaiting my flight,... so here are a few more

http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu235/RACE4THECURE/197cc873.jpg

I would def. love to purchase this once it gets released.. That would be my DD in a heartbeat!!
