Hello all, just got back from SEMA and it was pretty cool. Rock Crawling is the newest BIG thing there. Last year there were a variety of modified crawlers at booths but this year there live demos. Outside the Convention halls they constructed a couple of rock formations that pro's were crawling all over. I got some of the action on video, I'll try and post some samples this weekend! As far as equipment goes Teraflex has a new air locker coming out, it comes with diff cover (saw it there last year too). Apparently it wil be a little more than a ARB becuase it includes a few extra pieces. There will be some more rocker guards coming out in the near future from various companies. ARB had some, and some other companies too, stay tuned for more money spending choices. Most of the modified Wranglers inside the show were Unlimited's (no suprise there) but I didn't see any Rubi Unlimiteds wich was kind of disappointing. I also saw a offroad tire for a 24" wheel (that was a first). Then there was the usual CRAP there.......that's to be expected though. Oh ARB has a new rear tire carrier/bumper coming out. It looks pretty robust and $$$$$$$$!

Oh BTW, did you see TomWoods new goldseal/off-set U-joint? It gives an extra 10* in movement of something like that. Seems pretty trick! I was wondering how well that would work as an axle U-joint...

The AEV GrandCherokee Mojave has me drooling too! I think we are going to trade our LandRover in for one of those!

I didn't catch the new ujoint, but it sounds great. The Mojave was sweet though, it looked really good. I say it's a good trade for you!
