Day three at the 2006 SEMA was intense. There seemed to be more people today walking around the show checking out Products, Automobiles, and the Girls of SEMA. This annual pilgrimage brings people from all over the world to the largest automotive aftermarket show in the United States. We feel fortunate to be able and bring you coverage of the show and hopefully provide some insight on new trends and products for your Truck or SUV.

Name your Poison

The latest creation from Poison Spyder Customs is Bombshell Betty

There are hundreds of cool Trucks and SUVs at the SEMA show. Nothing here is ordinary, but rather extraordinary. One of the companies that never ceases to amaze us is Poison Spyder Customs. Dubbed by many as the Bad boys of Jeep and RockCrawler fabrication—we can attest that their work is nothing less than badass.

The latest creation from Poison Spyder is Bombshell Betty. Clifton Slay and the Crew at Poison Spyder spun a wicked web on this build. The attention to detail and creativity this Rock Crawler has is mesmerizing.

From the sexy curves of the chassis to the aluminum work that embodies the rig, the craftsmanship of this vehicle is top-notch.

 

 

 

DIESEL, Turbos, and Torque….Oh my!

ATS Aurora Turbo for the 6.0L PowerSroke engine

ATS is a leader in the Diesel power arena. One of their latest products to hit the market is their new Turbo for the 6.0L PowerSroke engine. This new Turbo is part of their Aurora line. The impressive part about this system is that it eliminates the stock veined turbo, and replaces it with a larger ATS Aurora Turbo that increases the amount of air it sends into your engine. This helps keep exhaust temperatures lower, while delivering better performance. Another key feature is that ATS can match up the amount of boost your turbo is spooling by tuning the turbine and compressor wheels to match up with the amount of horsepower and torque you might have tuned your engine to handle by means of power programmers, larger injectors, aftermarket exhaust, etc.

RCD back on track
