Wassup Monkey's. I realized its been ages since I've logged in so I figure now is a great time since I'm at SEMA 2011 in Las Vegas, NV. I'll keep it simple... just pix. Excuse the washed out cell pix. Enjoy...

DAY 1

 

[DirtyMike]

Remind me to whoop your ass later...... I didnt get to go this year, I should be there with you right now

 

[ultraNoob]

Haven't been here in a while. It got bigger and parking got more expensive. Read the change of profession thread... CONGRATS DUDE.

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

Thanks for the pics!

DAY 2

This was actually the only car that had me grinning ear to ear

 

[ultraNoob]

TIM DUNCAN IS TALL

 

[Pesqueeb]

WTF is this and where can I get one?

Looks cool, but its actually one of the most ridiculous trailers ever. Damn thin is about 25ft long and you'll have a b!tch of a time backing it up since the rear end is so low and out of sight.

 

[zdubyadubya]

hawt.

I'll be the judge of that.......

It reminds me of when you see National Grid hauling around telephone poles.

LOL, I suppose thats true. I think its perfect though. I mean, it probably weighs 200-300 lbs tops, you could probably tow it with anything you could slap a hitch under, and storing it would be super easy, tip it on its side and it takes up practically zero room in the garage.

i hope Jeep actually build their own 4dr pickup version like theyve been toying with. this AEV will have to do

 

[Pesqueeb]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'd take a 2 door. I've looked into one of those conversion "kits" for my wrangler, but holy $$$$$. I need a truck that bad and I'll just spring for a newer used tacoma.

yeah, $9k is a lot but it really is a whole new body you are throwing on with an extended frame. i think their 4dr looks better too

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Isn't that called a Brute? They've been doing them for years now.

yes, AEV builds them but only in a 2dr version as of now. they used SEMA to show off their new 4dr kit. Jeep has been toying with the idea of building their own purportedly

The Gladiator I think it was called.......Jeep's been talking about that for years and had a couple concepts floating around I believe. Looked like an old 50's Jeep pickup with the spare tire on the side of the bed. Unless that was a 2-dr only too....I never paid much attention to them.

EDIT:

 

[kazlx]

*Sigh*....boobies and cars. One of those things I have always wanted to go to....

 

[IH8Rice]

yeah, that was from 2005 but they showed off a newer version last year.
they do sell a kit like AEV does, called the JK-8 Independence kit...its also a lot cheaper then AEV's kit

[Pesqueeb]

Seems like it's only for JK's. I haz a sad.

 

[Mr Jones]

Thanks for the pics!

 

[jimmydean]

hawt.

Lots of great shots, thanks!

. You got that ring now, so you go to neither

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

hawt.

Agreed.

Little side note since I didn't see a shot of it, but here's the truck parked directly in front of it:

This truck was owned by the late Courtney Halowell. If you aren't a fan of street trucks, you probably don't know the name. But if you are, you'd know that for the better part of 20 years, he wrote/edited many a article, in Truckin, MiniTruckin, StreetTrucks, and many many other publications.

This truck was his last project before he passed away July 21st. It wasn't complete, but a bunch of his friends got together and completed it for SEMA...

Courtney was an amazing person and he's sorely missed...

 

[jimmydean]

I love the wide whites, damn. I am either doing wide whites or Vogue's on my truck when I get to that point.

 

[Leppah]

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. I don't get out much anymore since having the baby girl, so seeing these pics keeps me in touch with the car world.
Ah, that honda CVCC is nice. I was eyeballin one here in Logan for a few weeks. I was thinking about picking it up for a little commuter car, but it was a 4 speed instead of a 5 speed. I also heard that finding parts for those cars is getting pretty dang tough too.
Man, i saw one online with an LS/Vtec swap in it. That would be scary.
