SEMA SHOW 2004, Las Vegas Nevada- Day 1 | Day 2
 |
||||||||||||||||
SEMA has been great so far, with major increases in exhibitors in the truck, SUV and off-road area. There were fewer "new ideas" than in years past, but more practical application of existing concepts. I have showcased a few major highlights below, but there are three photo albums on the following categories:
|
||||||||||||||||
| Donahoe Racing 2005 Tacoma Double Cab: This truck was very nice in person and most of the changes to the truck do appear to be improvements. The Donahoe and Demello parts are of great quality, and should provide performance consistent with the Gen 1 trucks. | ||||||||||||||||

Very nicely done, with a 2.5" rear shock |
The new Donahoe coil-overs for the 05 Tacoma |

| Engle: Engle has released a very nice slide system for their most common fridges, with the tray sliding on fully sealed roller bearings for long life | ||||||||||||||||
 |
 9-day cooler! |
|||||||||||||||
| ARB: ARB is releasing a series of rear bumpers for the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota Land Cruiser 80 and 100 series SUV's. These bumpers are very promising and feature a gas shock to aid opening the swing-out and keeping it open. All of the fit and finish is of top quality and consistent with their front bumpers. The bottom of the bumper is clearanced to improve departure angles, and the bumper wraps around the corners slightly for increased protection. | ||||||||||||||||

| Bestops new truck tops are of particular interest and are very well made, and can be slid to the cab, or remove windows for access. Hopefully they will be making them for the 01-04 D-cabs! | ||||||||||||||||

| The Turtle Expedition was also in attendance with their awesome Ford Super-duty. I had the chance to swap stories (and a few route details) for some time with these very accomplished explorers. | ||||||||||||||||
