Exhibitors can use the Project-Vehicle Builders form to offer parts to builders planning to construct a project vehicle for the 2016 SEMA Show.

Exhibitors at the 2016 SEMA Show are invited to expand their reach, product exposure and Show-floor presence by offering products to builders through the Products for Project-Vehicle Builders list. The list connects manufacturers with builders looking to create or complete a vehicle project—offering exhibitors the additional exposure of their product displayed on today’s hottest custom vehicles.

Updated each week in SEMA eNews, the association’s electronic newsletter, the list features product offers and contact information provided by confirmed SEMA Show exhibitors. Builders interested in obtaining a product can use the information listed to contact exhibitors directly. With all project vehicles required to be supported by a current 2016 SEMA Show exhibitor, all product-placement decisions, negotiations and agreements are the responsibility of the exhibiting manufacturer and the builder.

Exhibitors: Each submission will appear on a first-come, first-served basis beginning June 2016. All submissions are due by Friday, October 7, 2016.

Builders: If you are building a vehicle for the 2016 SEMA Show, consider submitting an application to participate in the Battle of the Builders competition. The competition will be held during SEMA Ignited—an extravaganza that will close out the 2016 SEMA Show, and includes food, music, celebrities, iconic builders and displays. The event gives the public, media, SEMA Show exhibitors, attendees and guests a rare opportunity to collect and share images of hundreds of customized vehicles featuring the newest and most innovative products from the SEMA Show. Battle of the Builders features elite automotive builders from across the nation competing for the title of Top Builder. For more information, visit www.semaignited.com.

Note: For verification purposes, the Project-Vehicle Builders form must be used to participate in the program; email submissions will not be included in the list. Participation in the list does not guarantee product or vehicle placement at the 2016 SEMA Show.

The list is open to exhibitors of the 2016 SEMA Show only. Exhibitors: To be included in the list, access the form online.

SEMA Board member Laurel Dasher (left) of MagnaFlow was elected chair of the Scholarship Committee, and Rich Barsamian of Advanced Clutch Technology was elected chair of the SEMA Cares Committee.

The 501(c)3 organization which oversees two of SEMA's nonprofit groups, the SEMA Scholarship Committee and the SEMA Cares Committee, has appointed Susan Carpenter of JR Products as its new chairperson. Carpenter, who also serves on the SEMA Board of Directors, is joined by new leaders on each individual committee as well.

SEMA Board of Directors member Laurel Dasher, of Magnaflow, has been elected to chair the SEMA Scholarship Committee and Rich Barsamian, VP of Sales and Marketing at Advanced Clutch Technology, has been elected to chair the SEMA Cares Committee.

Susan Carpenter

“These are exciting changes for the philanthropy arm of SEMA,” said Carpenter. “Both committees have made a tremendous impact to date and I look forward to working with both teams to further reach their goals. Both of our newly elected chairs bring great leadership and experience to their new roles.”

The newly elected committee chairs follow in the footsteps of two dynamic immediate past-chairs, Luanne Brown (SEMA Cares Committee) and Joel Ayres (SEMA Scholarship Committee). Brown and Ayres have tirelessly served the past several years in leading their respective committee's efforts and it is with gratitude and many thanks for the paths they've opened up for their successors.

About the Committees

The SEMA Scholarship Committee is dedicated to fostering the next generation of automotive aftermarket industry leaders and innovators through its scholarship awards given out through the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The SEMA Cares Committee, established by the Board of Directors in 2007, aims to bring the voice and resources of the SEMA community together to make a positive difference in children’s lives. Annually, the SEMA Cares Committee leads significant fundraising efforts including the SEMA Cares Pinewood Drag Races and participation in custom industry-build vehicles that are auctioned off.

This is a first look at the ’18 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon diesel mule seen testing in the desert, alongside a caravan of RAM 2500 HDs with the 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel.

The next Wrangler Rubicon’s suspension will remain similar to the current model's setup, with no sign of an independent suspension. Models such as the Rubicon are also expected to get beefier axles and tires.

The biggest news is this prototype’s DEF tank for the diesel’s emissions system, which even has its own skid plate. It’s all but confirmed that the ’18 Wrangler will offer a diesel option in the United States, likely the 3.0L V6 already in other FCA models.

For traditionalists, the new Wrangler is likely to be a refinement underneath, rather than a reinvention. Expect to see it sometime next year.
