2007 Sema Auto Show Off Road Parts - Four Wheeler Magazine

It isn't debatable. The Specialty Equipment Market Association show is the mac daddy of automotive shows. Commonly referred to by its slang title, Sema, thisb annual Las Vegas mega-event fills over 1,000,000 square feet of space with over 2,000 automotive-related exhibitors and over 2,000 incredible vehicles.

But here's the catch: Since the show is only open to those who make their living in the automotive industry (and ya gotta prove it to get in the door), the vast majority of the truck-loving public gets to talk to the hand. This industry-only policy is one of the reasons the entire Four Wheeler staff descends on the show each year. We swoop in to provide you with the nuts and bolts of this massive global event.

So sit back and enjoy a look at some of the most intriguing vehicles of the '07 Sema Show.

Heavy-Duty Family Hauler
Wait. Why does this Suburban have Silverado HD front fenders, hood, grille, and bumper? And what's up with the Suburban HD badging? Answer: This is a Suburban HD Z71 and it's powered by a concept 4.5L diesel engine that produces 310 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque. It sure beats a minivan.

Old Is New Again
Retrokits displayed this '96 Chevy Tahoe fitted with its '66 Retrokit. The company introduced a new line of kits at SEMA, and report that these kits simply bolt on in place of your existing fenders. We wonder if they have an AMC Pacer kit for the Jeep Compass

Look, More Camo
Tough Country Products displayed its Duramax-powered Silverado HD pickup. It featured a Superlift suspension, Bully Dog engine upgrades, Warn PowerPlant Dual Force winch, Pit Bull tires, and of course, Tough Country bumpers. We dug the all-business, get-out-of-my-way front end treatment.

Pinzgrowler
The Cool Factor of this '74 Pinzgauer 712 is off the charts. Built by the team at Off Road Logic, it features a Volkswagen 2.0L four-cylinder TDI turbodiesel engine, five-speed enclosed driveline, 6x6 all-wheel drive, on-the-fly lockers, Dick Cepek custom Hummer wheels, Toyo Open Country 33-inch tires, and a custom exoskeleton. Inside, it has a slew of mods including Race Craft suspension seats. All this and great approach, departure, and ramp-over angles, too.

Green In More Ways Than One
The guys over at Galpin Auto Sports created this '08 F-450 Super Duty. Green on the outside and green on the inside, its 6.4L diesel Power Stroke engine has been modified by SAE Energy to run on either B100 biodiesel or hydrogen fuel. Other goodies: BFG Mud-Terrain tires, King shocks, Rize Industries suspension, and GAS-built brushguard. If this is the future of trucks, we like it.

Super Silverado
We needed oxygen after we saw Off Road Unlimited's latest creation. It's a Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with ORU's four-link solid front-axle conversion. But that ain't all. It also features a divorced Atlas transfer case, King remote-reservoir coilover shocks, front ARB Air Locker, and a Warn winch, among other things.

Looks Are Deceiving
Sure, it looks like a total poser, but we happen to know that this shiny Super Duty is built to perform. Built by Texan and exmonster trucker Marty Garza, owner of Truck Toyz in McAllen, Texas, this machine sports a One Up Offroad suspension and a tweaked 6.4L Power Stroke diesel. Word on the street is that after SEMA, he was out at Dumont Dunes catching big air with it.

Outside, it features a custom hood with air induction, a custom bull bar, custom wheel flares, roof and bull bar lighting, and 20-inch Mickey Thompson tires. Inside are racing seats, a 20-gallon auxiliary fuel tank, spray-on floor liner, and weatherresistant materials.

The Artsy Side Of Camo
Westin went down-home-rural with this cool '07 Ford F-150 SuperCrew FX4. It featured a bunch of Westin products, plus items from Keystone Restyling, Bushwacker, Banks, Toyo, Pro Comp, and Warn. The camo paint with subliminal hunting messages was applied by Pteazers, Inc.

Long-Arm JK
There were a fair amount of heavily modified JKs at SEMA. One of the standout rigs belonged to Rancho. It featured the company's new long-arm kit that incorporates a number of exclusive features. The Unlimited also sported Rancho's new piggyback shocks, MasterCraft seats, BFG Krawler T/A tires, Pro Comp wheels, and a Warn PowerPlant Dual Force winch.

Sky's The Limit

The truck also featured products from Bully Dog, Fab Fours, Optima, Warn, Garmin, Lund, McGard, Kumho, Bushwacker, and others.

Power Storm
Yep, that's its name, and it was created by Fabtech. Trust us, this '08 Super Duty is more than just fancy paint. It features 10 inches of lift generated by a custom front and rear coilover suspension, and it rolls on semi-truck wheels with 40-inch Toyo tires pressed on. The rear axle is a custom Fabtech-built Dana 110 with Foote axleshafts. If that paint trips your trigger, call the guys at Haynie Designs Paint Artistry, 'cause they're the folks who did it.

Chrome-Free Chevy
Our chrome-loathing staffers got really excited by this Chevy Silverado 3500 HD that was at the Rize Industries booth.

Tundras are hot, and the team over at Tuff Country created its own functional Tundra that sported its new 6-inch lift. It also had a custom lightbar, Light Force lights, 35-inch Toyo Open Country M/Ts, and KMC wheels.

For Those About To Chrome (we salute you)
This JK is the polar opposite of dechromed and camo'd. But hey, some folks like this sort of thing. This Jeep was a joint effort between the folks at RealWheels and Life Fitness. It features products from Superlift, Gibson, StreetGlow, Airaid, ITW, Bushwacker, and Mickey Thompson.

Almost A Buggy
Another JK that turned heads was this buggy-like machine at Warrior Products. In addition to a mindboggling array of Warrior bolt-on products, it had a 4-inch Tuff Country suspension, Xenon Flat Panel fender flares, MileMarker SI9500 winch, gobs of PIAA lights, and Pro Comp Xterrain M/T tires on Pro Comp wheels.

Jumpin' JK
Over at the Bilstein booth, crowds gathered to see this '07 Rubicon Express Jeep Wrangler. This JeepSpeed 3 race car is truly incredible.

Rad Cruiser
Over at Toyota was this cool trail-ready Off Road Evolution-built '08 Land Cruiser. See that Hannibal Safari Equipment roof rack? It has a tent and awning built into it. The front and rear bumpers are by TJM and Off Road Evolution. The front bumper holds a Warn 9.5ti winch, and the rear bumper holds a spare Toyo Open Country M/T tire on its built-in tire carrier. ORE also made the rocksliders and the snorkel.

Attention On The Flight Deck
Nitto positioned its heavily modified '08 Toyota Tundra CrewMax in such a way that it looked as if it was flying. Naturally we wondered if it really could fly, so shortly after the show we took this machine out to the desert and put it through the paces. Look for a full feature on this truck in next month's issue of Four Wheeler. So did it fly? Hint: We have liftoff!

Tall Silverado
John Llado has been building big SEMA trucks like, forever. This year, his palette was a new Silverado with the Duramax diesel. Nine inches of Fabtech suspension, 36-inch Mickey Thompson tires, an N-fab bumper, Motive gears, an Auburn limited-slip, and Banks accessories are some of its mods.

Everyone was ignoring this Aussie guy like the plague as he played his didgeridoo. Not us. We stopped to take photos. When we did, he unexpectedly jumped up and struck this pose. It scared us more than the H2 SUT on 30s.
