    Every year SEMA attracts hundreds of the world’s most excellently modified vehicles, from motorcycles that make you go “how does that work” to tuners so low you wonder how they can get over a speedbump…much less a pothole, SEMA is the place. But it’s not just the cars that make people come to the world’s largest aftermarket show for, there’s also the 4WDs. If there’s a single hot vehicle at this year’s SEMA show, it’s without a question the Jeep Wrangler JK—but there’s plenty of other vehicles here too. From rock crawlers, to rock racers, trophy trucks, and prerunners, almost everything is at SEMA—don’t miss it.  (more…)

    Rad Jeep Willys

    Every once and a while you come by a vehicle that almost perfectly blends classic heritage, capability, and a little bit of new-school engineering. This year at SEMA we stumbled upon one of those vehicles, an early Willys Jeep, which has had its fair share of modifications and upgrades. Powered by an upgraded V6 VORTEC engine and riding on 35″ Nitto Mud Tires, the Willys is something we’d love to see in the Rock Crawler garage. Check it out below.  (more…)
