SEMA 2006 Coverage: 2006

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!

HERE IS THE SEMA PAGE

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.

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

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

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.
