 SEMA Cares Jeep
The SEMA Cares Jeep—which will be featured in Omix-ADA/Rugged Ridge’s Off Road Success Center—was custom designed by Arianny Celeste, LFTD & LVLD Magazine, Rugged Ridge, SEMA Cares and built by DUB Garage.
  
Omix-ADA will showcase a custom Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited built in support of SEMA Cares at its Off-Road Success Center (Booth #34000) at the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, November 3–6.

The custom Jeep marks the third time Omix-ADA has partnered with SEMA Cares over the past three years—first with a donation of $50,000 in support of charities related to the SEMA community in 2013, and last year with the first custom-built Jeep Wrangler with all proceeds going to the charity.

This year’s Jeep will serve as a conversation piece and a step toward furthering awareness for SEMA Cares’ charitable efforts within the automotive aftermarket. The SEMA Cares Jeep, transformed from a standard four-door Jeep Wrangler JK into a one-of-a-kind “ready when you are” Jeep, was custom designed by Arianny Celeste, LFTD & LVLD Magazine, Rugged Ridge, SEMA Cares and built by DUB Garage. The Jeep is outfitted with a number of unique Rugged Ridge products, including its aggressively styled Spartan Grille, XHD modular front bumper, complete with Stinger LED light bars and more.

“We’re proud to partner once again with SEMA Cares,” said Henk Van Dongen, director of marketing at Omix-ADA. “SEMA Cares does so much to help ensure the continued success and growth of our industry by actively engaging the future generation of enthusiasts and industry professionals. We couldn’t be happier to support this committee that gives back not only to the industry, but also to the community.”

The SEMA Cares Committee was established by SEMA’s Board of Directors in 2007 and strives to make a positive difference through outreach programs and various fundraising efforts. SEMA Cares makes its mission to foster industry leadership by supporting the education of students pursuing careers in the automotive aftermarket.

Returning for its fourth year to the SEMA Show, the Off-Road Success Center provides a forum for business owners and decision makers within the Jeep and off-road market to freely exchange ideas, learn new concepts for success and network with industry professionals. Omix-ADA invites everyone to come out to the Off-Road Success Center to see the live custom Jeeps, support SEMA Cares in its outreach programs, and learn how to thrive in the growing Jeep and off-road market.

  hot rod
A SEMA Show panel discussion of some of the industry’s most famous and successful hot-rod builders will include: Bobby Alloway, Alloway’s Hot Rod Shop; Mike and Jim Ring, Ringbrothers; Troy Trepanier, Rad Rides by Troy; Alan Johnson, Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop; and Pete Chapouris, SO-CAL Speed Shop.
  

If you’re starting your career as a builder, or even just thinking about it, you can’t miss Thursday morning’s session on “Building Tomorrow’s Hot Rod” at the SEMA Show.

Rick Love of Vintage Air will lead a panel discussion with some of the industry’s most famous and successful builders.

“These are six of the premier builders in the industry today,” Love said. “Every award you can win is represented in that group.”

Joining Love on the panel will be:

  • Bobby Alloway, Alloway’s Hot Rod Shop
  • Mike and Jim Ring, Ringbrothers
  • Troy Trepanier, Rad Rides by Troy
  • Alan Johnson, Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop
  • Pete Chapouris, SO-CAL Speed Shop

Love said the traditional hot-rod and street-machine segment of the industry is undergoing something of a revival today.

“So this is an opportunity for a young person starting out in his shop, or a young builder, or just somebody who aspires to be a builder to hear from the best in the business,” he said.

Love said he will begin by asking all the panelists how they got started, what’s the best advice anybody ever gave them and what’s the best advice they have for any ambitious builder today before opening the discussion for questions from what is sure to be a standing-room-only crowd.

There should be some interesting anecdotes too.

“It’s going to be an entertaining session,” Love said. “I’ve been with this bunch of guys before, so I know there’ll be some pretty good banter among them.”

Not only is the panel diverse in terms of geography—with builders from Southern California all the way to Alabama and Chicago—it also represents the wide range of styles in hot-rod building today.

“There’s nobody that builds a more traditional hot rod than a Bobby Alloway or a Pete Chapouris,” Love said.

But you’ve also got somebody like Trepanier, who is famous for his Bonneville street liners.

“You just have a whole lot of segments of the hot-rod industry represented in that bunch of guys,” Love said.
