Exploring SEMA 2024 Keeping it Real

our boys made it out to the 2024 SEMA show so we're just cruising around I got to go pick up my media badge but we're just looking at thing hey how you doing I'm doing good I already got mine oh you got yours R well that's cuz you're a buyer and you just go click a button whereas me I get the media and you got to go there and they look at you twice and then and then you get to do it but uh yeah we're here checking out some stuff already outside look at that b58 isn't that what you just picked up y look at that unit that is nice I like that intake manifold Liberty Walk Tesla and a freaking charger look at this unit that's sick so many things everything out here is just next level that it's just it's hard to not want to stop and look at everything kind of stockish X but then you have this unit like how freaking cool is that all right not usually Tesla cyber truck guy but that looks freaking pretty cool this thing is funded by daddy's money if you guys didn't know we are giving away our F450 which is isn't as big as this one but it's also you can win this unit so mv.com not this one but ours I think this was that polished alumin Duty that was going around on the internet for a little bit that's pretty that's pretty sick one of these things that I don't like about the truck builds is when they leave the tire stickers on like that just doesn't look good another thing that's really impressive about here is all the tow rigs look at that so that's a Chevy 6500 with like a toolbox it's like almost like an enclosed trailer but it has a lift gate but then it also has has a big receiver hitch where you could actually tow a car with it so like imagine towing a two-car trailer with your both your race cars but then you had all your stuff in there all right so cruising around in here see there's just a ton of tires and it's all from a bunch of companies that you don't really know the name of or you haven't really heard of them before but it's just crazy like all the wheels and tires and semi- tires and stuff that looks very similar to other things you've seen before but it's just a different name and the tire section is crazy there's just so much stuff over here it's all Just Tires going to go over to the conic Wheels Booth say hello it's nice little Ferrari F40 stopped over the Milwaukee Booth one of these cool things that I've seen this year is this magnetic extendable boom which is pretty crazy yeah so this is our new boom light here so we got a power button at the base of the tool and at the top of the tool here got a couple of different light modes here so on high you're going to get 2500 Lum of light about 4 and 1/2 hours of run time on low you get about 1,000 lumens of light and 12 hours of run time and then we also have magnetic base on the bottom so we have a release handle right here when we slap it onto any magnetic surface you're going to get about 300 lb of holding force on there yeah that's sweet and I love how these things twist sure so you can get the light up underneath the car and like a two- post lift absolutely I don't want to Blind you putting the light on there but yeah get the light wherever you need it to be very versatile so one of the things that I've been really interested in lately is these Milwaukee battery powered Sanders look at this you can just twist it it has the vacuum attachment and what what does that guy do on the side yeah so this is going to be a variable speed dial so you guys are familiar with you want to change your speed on demand so the trigger variable speed but that dial will allow you to set that minim Max RPM so you can really tailor it whether it's body filler or doing that uh wet sanding and that's nice too cuz right now there's not an air compressor running in the background while we're trying to talk and do all this stuff this thing is really sweet I like the fact you guys are coming out with more of the automotive products to help guys like this I feel like Milwaukee like the plumbing industry got everything for a long time and then now we've had a lot of cool stuff for a long time the impact except but this is really sweet so I'm excited yeah we're really showing that we're dedicated to that Collision technician yeah right and this is the first step when you walk into your guys' shops what's the first thing you hear the buzzing of a DA right so we said hey if we can make it more productive and more safe for those technicians using that we're all in so this is just the beginning we're just getting started with this or you hear an air compressor or like if you're going out in the parking lot and you want to sand something or like little buzz in like you got to drag the hose all the way out there or you got to borrow the a hose from the other guy who's using it so it's cool cool product that's one of the cool things about SEMA is not only all of the cool products but actually being able to stop and chat and see all the people that you normally wouldn't be able to see all in one spot so this year kind of a faster trip or a quicker trip so we're not going to be here for a long time stopped and chatted over at the guys at kig wheels and we went to Milwaukee checked out some cool things over there talked to the guys at Harbor Freight talked to Evan Shanks he was over there at the spray Source booth so a bunch of cool little things but now we are heading towards the Toyo tread pass usually every year there's a lot of iconic cars that are unveiled out here and there's a local car that just got recently built in Colorado that I'd like to check out but first thing you see N1 it's pretty cool this is another car officer Dan this thing's pretty sweet got a mark 5 Supra got a Porsche 240Z bunch of things old Rolls-Royce this r33 is sick so I'm assuming this is garage active unit again wide body that is super sick this Cam's car right here it's E30 this is one they built in Colorado he just got this thing painted like I think it got done painted like two or three days ago this looks super sick it's E30 full tube chassis LS air suspension pretty uh pretty wild really cool build we got cam how you doing tired how much sleep have you got the past week much well last night I slept 6 hours nice that's pretty good when did you get it out of paint maybe like 48 hours ago yeah nice smells good smells like fresh pain smells like fresh pain this thing's sick CRX is pretty sick says V6 SI oh there we go I guess that makes sense twin turbos oh wow this is an interesting uh setup so this is actually kind of something I thought about doing with one of the Civics that I have we have that Chevy Spark EV and I seriously thought about putting it in a Civic and look at this guy right here so EG hatch super clean I like the buttons Park reverse neutral I'm assuming this thing's on a full am system but it's got full AC that's sick this thing's really sweet too so many good cars so now we made it over to the performance side of things this is normally where like Garrett turbos and you know all the disc brakes but they have they moved some of the EV stuff over here this year and there's a lot of electric power to vehicles in this area so you can see this porch right here this thing's pretty cooling I like the I like that it reminds me of like The Simpsons or you know the 9s or something but got a bunch of modified Teslas over here some hrees those are pretty sweet you can see hybrid system Blends Heritage with cing Edge technology that's pretty cool so it's a hybrid that's a pretty crazy trunk setup in there this is Matt Fields C8 drift Corvette this thing's pretty sick he's been building this on his channel look super sick [Music] it's got a lot of weight in the front he's got the fuel cell right there really well thought out car this is a throttle R34 you guys have probably seen this thing but man it's a sick setup over here in the Toyota Booth we got this dyo replica this thing's pretty sweet gr stuff's pretty cool but what else is pretty cool is this thing so it's front-wheel drive looks like it's the new it's just like a salica GT4 replica but in like an 86 but front wheeel drive it's kind of it's an odd it's an odd combination but that's pretty cool I don't know if this is even a thing or if they just built this to it's a rally concept something about the new Supras just really like them this pretty sick rig right here weld her up up that's one thing I've never done is actually walk around into the Apex Show so this is a piece of the Apex Show it's honestly it's about maybe as almost half as big as the sea show which is pretty wild you have a lot of companies that you do know like Napa and stuff like that but then you also have a ton of other companies which are like all the Chinese manufacturers in Korea and India and Malaysia just so many it's pretty crazy there's a whole whole hallway like this whole entire size right here is literally just Chinese manufacturers it's crazy to see so much of the same stuff but also different stuff that's manufactured overseas but looks just like some of the stuff that's like sold over here this is the other piece of the Apex Show so you can see you have regular booths and then we have like big manufacturers like Bosch like the the real Bosch is here got a Valvoline Booth over there you can see like main Brands and stuff that you you normally see it like O'Reilly or any of that other stuff like they'll be here and then it's just big big big distribution companies you can see like shell like here is an example of something like this company they probably own all of uh like all those things so same thing with uh with shells you can see shells here and uh just big big biger companies I guess W go there another little piece of it really like how all the Woods here are really clean and you can see all this stuff so this is the other part where everything in here is all like this so many brake manufacturers tons of random candy too definitely a whole uh like a whole different vibe over here than it is normally at SEMA but tons of cool products I mean the manufacturing is pretty pretty crazy all the stuff that is so different but also very similar you know like fittings look at all these fittings I'm sure this company makes like a bunch of OEM stuff for companies and then they're just here you know and you never know who they were or they they sell stuff to a big manufacturer that you know of but you know it's just some company in China making it all pretty cool though I think it's crazy I just walked by a company that literally just makes fuel caps like that's the only thing they make is fuel caps um you know this guy they make valve covers interesting differential parts you know know and they're all just kind of bundled in here together alternators you know all right I'm lost it's crazy like The Vibes are completely different but everything looks so similar cuz they all I think they travel so far they don't bring a big Booth so they all get these kind of similar things and they they're just kind of all the same so you just feel like you're in the same spot which is crazy but I don't know it's sometimes I don't see how the makes sense but it's just weird what do you think of that you you like that huh all right guys so it's day three out here and yesterday I just did the whole Apex Show today we're just cruising around out here at got here a little bit early I think the show opens at 9:00 so we're going to walk around check out some things and go from there so this year I brought my dad so what do what do you think of Sema love it you like it yep would come again next year you would recommend it huh yep and then also we brought Jamie's Dad hey what do you think of the S show that's great you like it I love it and then my uncle never before seen in motion AO history right maybe a long time ago so the 72 doson 510 that uh I inherited I inherited it from this guy cuz he inherited it from the grandma and I got it from him but it was great grandma for me which is pretty crazy so the Dodson 510 is because of him and he came over and uh helped me do body work on it when I was like 14 or 15 years old we cut out some Rust and fix some of that stuff so he's he kind of kind of ruined me he's the one who kind of got me into a lot of this stuff and he always had hot rods when we were uh growing up and we got pictures of his of us and his cars at like Hot Rod shows and stuff in his driveway so um he also has a 37 Ford Coupe and we used to go over to his house he' fired up do a burnout and then put it away yeah I don't think it's it's ran a while but he's got a bunch of cars he's got too many projects but that's that might be where I got it from all right so right here this is a 350 without the front flare kind of looks a little funny but then you come over here and you see the 450 with the front flare and you just say man everything is all is right with the world it it needs that front flare so here's the new body style truck the 23 and up I I'm not sure if I'm sold on the head lights in the grill to me it kind of looks like a like a bug like a fly or something with sunglasses on I don't know but uh they are good-looking trucks really goodlooking trucks so I don't know just don't know what you do with one of these units other than drive it around and look at it Che got this 510 wagon over here pretty cool it has a draw through carburetor setup which is a really old school way of doing things but uh yeah cool little wagon you little Livery on the side of it right next to it look at it SSS be stores maybe I need to check them out look at this 450 right here so this is what we were debating on doing with you know we didn't know exactly where to go with paint match so the full mirror I kind of like the full badge I kind of like the headlights are pretty cool cuz they're actually you know I'm pretty sure we have similar headlights these are the OEM ones but paint match front bumper paint match Grill all it all looks good but if you guys haven't got any entries yet we are giving away the F450 so it pretty much looks it's similar it's a little less belligerent and I think a little bit more dable but uh yeah that's a good looking unit so the Cyber trucks I think they look the they look pretty sick in just straight black this thing's pretty cool too 6x6 Mercedes it's cool unit I've always wondered about the axles in the back how do they get her done okay so they just don't hook it up that's what you do wow Che out this unit right here I like the custom engraved way too fast that's too fast yeah can you tell him is that is that an OSHA violation I just no it's just a Comm violation he is kind of ripping but yeah he's you think he's going to bang his head if he wanted to he could he could he could got that option pretty cool looking Evo conversion Mirage is what it looks like I love that valve cover that looks really sick yeah this this may be a mirage that was converted to an evil it's like a two whe twodo evil which I don't think they made but you know I'm not I'm not an expert but this is a sick car so this Dodge Charger they turned into a truck my uncle was uh telling me about this thing yesterday and he's uh he's right it it's got some really questionable thing like you look at it in person like At first you're like oh that's sick and then you start really looking at it and you say golly we got a reverse run I hopefully they didn't charge them extra for that the paint job's in a pretty rough shape you can see we got like unsanded filler we got some pin holes we had an extra there's another little run guy right there which you know who who who knows who knows the story with this car but it's not the 57 V8 with a Hellcat supercharger huh I don't know it's not uh it's maybe it's a garage thing was that it the pin holes you know but he maybe he built it in his garage and it was the first one it's got a little tiger stripers too but just just a little bit but you get that but then you have that thing sitting next to this thing which is just freaking a mass ulate that's crazy it's crazy just the level of stuff and again there's so many things that you see out here that are just next level that you don't even uh don't even know this cool s Jin the four-door with a douly four-door douly short bed s Jin and it's on air it's pretty uh pretty crazy that thing's just just a little belligerent it's almost like they had the truck already pre-built and then they just put a new body on it is what it kind of looks like like that that looks like they just went to the dealer and said give me give me one of those bpack always has a pretty cool Booth out here every year they got their quick Jacks and they have their three car stackers so I'm going come over here and say hello so obviously the quick Jacks are a an amazing option for people that don't have the capabilities of putting a big lift in their garage this is a really clean Dotson the main lifts are always uh always a favorite this is a cool thing this is to change out like the batteries on a like a Tesla or something like that hopefully I don't have to do anything like that in the future but this is a really cool thing that they just came out with recently so this is a lift kind of do something similar so you could lift up a Tesla and then you could actually drop out the subframe or the battery pack out of the bottom with this lift that is kind of Dual Purpose on the outside so pretty cool setup you could also use it for you know dropping Transmissions or subframes or axles or basically anything heavy underneath the car so looks uh it's really cool also you know as you guys know we've been working with bpack for a couple years now we got their for poost just the regular one we might need one of these guys though which is the the three car stacker those are those are pretty serious you can see imagine that imagine the motion auto shop just looking looking like that with all the cars so this is is TJ Hunts uh RB 26 Mustang pretty cool pretty cool little build they just finished painting it doing some other stuff and then I think it's the same RB I like that fan shroud looks like you got some big big old fans in there this is a clean build got this cool looking Mercedes right next to it too all right so we've been outside for like 2 hours look at everything it's just it's all good so we got a Tesla obviously big fan of Teslas we got a Porsche I would like one of these U 718 Cayman this is a GT4 unit that thing's pretty sweet and then obviously over here you got some other cool units you got a freaking Supra this thing looks sick I like that body kit on there little vents right here in this big silver thing you have a question yep take a look at that hey hey pull it back out let me see it again let me see what it looks like yep that's it right there that's the picture taking stance right hey uh seventh year SEMA how you doing I'm doing great you enjoying it yeah it's good a good show this year um a lot of the same stuff that's been out here year after year but there are a lot of new cool cars so a lot of the same companies but new products and some other things and stuff like that we brought the uncle the uncle what are you thinking today you like it oh yeah it's awesome yeah love it what else what are you going to go home and finish one of your 28 project cars now yeah I'm going to work on the Jeep 66 Jeep the Jeep that's the next one coming up huh and the model A Speedster with the tail with the tail tail speed we need to do um a project car check one of these days and like go look at my uncle's projects and see what kind of stuff he's got cuz I don't even know what he's got cuz he has them hidden away right so now we're back inside checking out some stuff but this is a the actual Taco GTR [Music] turbo L Series pretty [Music] cool one thing that I found that I I like is so you here over at the easy up tent they have this guy so that that's a bag light looks pretty cool or like a like a hot air balloon light are available for their own cars or whatever also walking around this is one of the the world quickest GTR right here pretty crazy uh so we are headed to Texas next week for the GTR festival and this car is going to be there it was shipped in all the way from Australia these guys broke the world record a long time ago and they kind of put it out to retirement cuz there's there's no need to really keep going I guess until somebody else comes in and does it and then that'll reignite it but yeah technically I guess it's really close to you know it is the world's fastest uh GTR but I think the 2J might have it beat some other stuff but yeah I'm excited to see that so if you guys want to come say hi we'll be in Texas next week uh the 15th and 16th at the GTR Festival there's a cool little F100 too it's got a 73 Godzilla in it it's got a big uh big Whipple on it I like them fans you know it's not just the engine it's you got to look at the fans too and just see what what's really cool and these sink down it so this is a built by the Legends R34 GTR this thing's pretty sick this is a pretty cool Supra right here I like the the bars body kit and then it's got twin turbos which is pretty cool I like all the hard lines on it as well with the titanium piping pretty cool setup he's obviously got some Hood shut issues maybe he's put got this little thing right there um this thing is pretty cool I don't know what it is but I like it it's got a NOCO lithium battery looks like a tube chassis is underneath something but I like I like the way that looks also this Miata right here has kind of got a few uh controversies on it it's got some things but I get it's not actually Lamborghini it's like a looks like an LS like or an LT it's like an older engine but it's got these like valve cover adapters on it so was pretty pretty interesting not this one the the cof oh that wheel that's pretty good that wheel bearing screaming oh yeah they're pissed hey what do you think of this unit I mean I'm over it they're he's cool the scene is kind of full of dorks bunch of Volkswagen kits building them I submited his paperwork I think this is it's it's crazy to see this in person now because over the course of the last couple weeks on the internet like there's been like memes and people like yeah but like I don't know I mean it but then here it's like everybody's doing the same thing everybody just like filming watching doing you know like it's just it's just it's just the thing it's weird all right so this is a pretty interesting thing that we just kind of rolled across over here so at first look this thing looks like a Ford Ranger that was converted into like a mini Raptor and then the longer you look at it the more you discover about it but look at this it's for lug cuz it looks like it's on a razor it is a razor right razor razor chassis really cool and then look at all the suspension in the back in the cage that just goes through it and then obviously the engines back there you got all of the stuff like I probably shouldn't touch it but man this is so good look at it I mean it just it makes sense that like you call oh in the interior look you got weather stripping the seats it's four theater it's got a full console see the dash [Music] bigest that's that's just what is the body is like F550 so it it's a looks like an F-150 Raptor like like a mini Raptor you going to hire this guy to St in your cars like that that South Park thing they're like they took our job that's sick how much how much now it's checking to see if it pricey cheaper than a tech right you hire that it's one year right now you get this guy for life you can work all day work work all day and night just park the car go home the Sena is big money what do you think of the wiper arm make it interesting so you don't have some dumb clip of just panning what do you think of the wiper it looks pretty serious it's got two two units looks like it kind of has a little articulation two units on what's going on over there what is that [ __ ] I see under there what is that I don't know oh that's that's it's carbon fiber oh it looks like a weird W cuz and then the tub and the yeah the dash one the only the one one carbon Dash that's a good wiper arm I bet that thing holds up good or it breaks instantly come over here to check out this carbon Z is this like a carbon overlay full car full carbon so it's a carbon body yep how much less does it weigh what did they say maybe lb they took off something like that so yeah it's full carbon wow and is it a p on quarter though no um I don't glued yep well you can see it right there so you got leave all right it's kind of winding down wrapping up the day over here but look at this thing got an engine in the back it's like a coyote hanging out I really want to hear it I want somebody to fire it up let it rip it has a carbon fire I don't know if it's just an overlay I don't think it's a full carbon fiber thing but that it's full carbon fiber the full carbon so what do you think this unit it's worth depends on the guy it's only worth what somebody will pay for it yeah that there's some truth to that yeah so probably how much it cost to build a lot yeah what it's worth I have no clue probably a lot it is cool though just the color like take a take a look at that that's oh it's on a is it on a Mustang chassis he probably took some of the Mustang pieces and secondz you got the Mustang gauge cluster and all that stuff in it too so it's interesting we also got big Debbie right here it's pretty cool so pretty much done at the sea show we are uh flying out tonight so we'll be back in Colorado that's kind of my little little Vlog update of everything we got going on uh we're getting ready to head to GTR Festival in Texas so if you guys want to come out and hang out with that we'll be out there hanging out saying hello to everybody and uh I think we're going to bring the 73 Godzilla we got a lot of work we got to do to that in the next couple days but I appreciate you guys watching see you later all right they finished up that rwb see you later Sema
