SEMA 2K15 Truck Build

Jason · Nov 6, 2015

Nobody pissed in my cheerios. Just get tired of every year someone has a "sema build", and it's the same damn truck ta
that someone built the year before, and the one before that. I thought sema was to showcase new parts, and fabrication and using vehicles to display it. Led light bars, forces, and road armor style bumpers got all that coverage 5+ years ago. Coolest one has been that ouo truck that was 4 linked with coilovers.

Opinions, we all have them and some think they matter.

There seems to be this misconception where people think sema is some trade show for work trucks when it is purely an aftermarket showcase and some trucks are just displays

Trade show for work trucks?

Not you specifically, just see a lot of people complaining that these trucks are useless.

Personally sema does nothing for me, if I were to lift a truck I would lift it 2.5" but I'm not going to bash it because obviously some people do like this kinda stuff and companies are showing it off to them.

I love the look of a lifted truck, but it just isn't functional for me. I'm in and out of the bed multiple times a day. If anything I would drop it for easy access.

Oh yeah.

I'm not the "trucks are for work" kinda guy, I like looking at lifted trucks, but after owning several...leveled is definitely the way to go lol.

You don't realize how much more useable/enjoyable a leveled truck is, til you drive a lifted one daily.

I can see that. I don't have issues with mine lifted but it's more of a toy and mall crawler lol

The "Mini-Mikey" look is more practical, just sayin :flipa:

Mikeyfitz · Nov 9, 2015

Hahah! Practicality isn't in my dictionary

Ok, back to work on the truck. Still a few things to do.

Traction Bars
Traction bar mounts
Crossmember bars
Stabilizer shocks
Front and rear shocks
Led lights
Adjustable shackle mounts
Headlights/Tailights

And a few other small things

Then, in January we will do a bolt on 4 link for the rear.

Here she is right now. Should have some better pics soon once I install a few cosmetic things and wash her.

Headlights, Tailights, and 3rd brake are done:

Just read back a few pages and it was never stated that he missed sema?

I want to see those headlights installed on the truck!

Well, just so you all know, I wasn't one of the ones that got originally cut. I was in the second wave. Then my sponsor decided that they really wanted me in and out me in a booth instead. well, long story short, they told me I had to buy that booth 1 week prior to going, end of last week. Needless to say, it's not going. However, still finishing with the truck build, we made more changes and decided on new things. You all want pics so far? She is almost done. Decided to do a couple more things. (Oh and no wrap for now)

Post number 88 says he isn't going.

Those taillights are nice. Haven't seen those before.

Showoff · Nov 11, 2015

No, the truck didn't make it to SEMA, but I have already two offers for 2016. So, we are just going to keep building. Should be done (phase 1) at the end of the month. But I'll post more pics as we go!
