It's that time of year again. The SEMA show has come and gone and left us exhausted and wondering where those extra charges on our credit card statement came from.

If you're a car or truck guy, then the SEMA show held in Las Vegas every November is your Mecca. Automotive and aftermarket manufacturers keep most of us guessing all year as to what new products they will unleash on us in the winter. Fabrication shops also do their best to stay mum about special SEMA project vehicles, teasing us with tidbits of information here and there. Well, its time to finally spill the beans and give you what we liked at this past year's show.

THE TRUCKS

  • Our little girl Matilda was on display at the show, but because of her big 47-inch tires, we needed to load and unload with some 31-inch help. Former OFF-ROAD publisher Jeff Dahlin gave us a hand getting her out of the showroom. I bet we could have gotten her to sit straight up like a good dog.

  • Fiberwerx has a set of its new carbon-fiber fenders loaded up on this super-clean Ford Ranger. Carbon fiber is expensive considering one wheel mishap could ruin a fender, but it sure does look cool.

  • Camburg's F-150 was parked outside at the Magnaflow booth sporting its F-150 long-travel suspension with coilovers and bypass shocks at each front corner. Although we did not climb underneath, we have no doubt Magnaflow loaded this Ford up with one of its top-of-the-line, stainless-steel exhaust systems.

  • John Marking-or as we like to think of him, the guy behind Fox Racing Shox-brought out his Weitzel-built F150 prerunner. This beautiful truck is definitely worthy of a showroom floor but we would rather see it working the rough stuff outdoors. The truck was loaded up with Fox's new 4.4 and 3.0 shocks. Under the hood is a screaming 700hp LS-7 engine.
