Hey everyone, it's time for the annual SEMA web coverage.

My truck is in place and I had a few minutes to walk the feature vehicle area and take some initial pictures. Look for daily updates!

***Strap22*** · 10-30-2006, 11:46 AM

(i think i speak for everyone)

***Corey*** · 10-30-2006, 02:17 PM

Scott has one bad ass setup.

snap-on · 10-30-2006, 02:25 PM

so not to get off on a thred hyjack... but does the trailer have the same size tires, 2) does it carry its own spair? so only 1 spar for the combo? (seems like you'd want 2

RunnerUp · 10-30-2006, 02:35 PM

is that a campa trailer? sweet looking set up man

expeditionswest · 10-30-2006, 05:09 PM

Thanks guys!

The trailer is from www.adventuretrailers.com

The tires are all the same diameter and the trailer can use the vehicle spare. I do have two spares (one goes inside the trailer). It is independent suspension with adjustable airbags.

Look forward to meeting some of you at the show. My truck is right outside the electronics area.

Found a link on TTORA to some more pics.
http://www.eternallychocolate.com/temp/SEMA_pics/

The small ones will turn into huge pics.
I am not feeling any love for the FJ convertible or the SUT version with the open back.
I prefer my hardtop.

The Ultimate FJ is there too.

Cebby · 10-31-2006, 05:39 AM

Thanks for posting Scott. I always look forward to this. Maybe one year I'll actually get out there...

calrockx · 10-31-2006, 07:41 AM

Cool pics.

I have an open invite to go this year with work, expenses paid...but I passed. The pictures will do it for me.

That convertible FJ looks....pretty effing stupid.

SLC97SR5 · 10-31-2006, 08:07 AM

Thanks Scott, awesome job! I see you've swapped to some BFG AT's, I'll have to check your page to find out why!

Low glass rating and severe snow rating for my Arctic Ocean Expedition this winter.

They are nice and smooth on the road.

295/75 R16 which measures out to be 34x11.5

A little wide for my taste but they will work great on the frozen rivers and lakes

Oh and lots of new updates on the SEMA page

kmcc78240 · 11-03-2006, 01:31 PM

Scott,
Quick question is that a specialized epic on the trailer.
Sorry for the highjack you have a very nice setup.

edit: looks like my 03' sweet bike to go with that truck

***Corey*** · 11-03-2006, 02:14 PM

Folk's, Scott's rig is also in the new issue of 4WD Toyota Owner magazine.

art · 11-03-2006, 02:51 PM

Drool,Drool,Drool. I need to go there one of these years. I understand you need three days to see everything. Thanks for the pics.

jrallan26 · 11-03-2006, 04:41 PM

Exactly! Maybe if he wants to go back to stock, I can work out a trade with him... Help him out.... NOT!

Very tastefully done.

Final updates on the "other" section.

http://www.expeditionswest.com/equip...ay_2/index.htm

More to come in the "expedition" and "Toyota" sections.

***Corey*** · 11-06-2006, 12:40 PM

Great new stuff Scott.
That Handle All pictured above is pretty trick.

However I could use this one on my commute.

GREAT!!! WE could all use one of these....

Great thread, and great pics Scott! Nice nice setup.

***Strap22*** · 11-06-2006, 12:49 PM

I was amazed how many new products where introduced this year. The 4x4 market dominated the show in my opinion. Keep up the coverage of these shows. This is what these forums were designed for.

Ric · 11-06-2006, 12:59 PM

expeditionswest,
what wheels are them ? where can i find a set.
