SEMA, the legendary trade show focused on vehicle trends, performance products, and aftermarket accessories, takes place next week, November 5-8, in Las Vegas. The show is not open to the public, but Bronco Nation will be attending once again, to bring the community “everything Bronco.”

Since 2021, Bronco Nation has been covering the closed-to-the-general-public event. We’ll be sharing access to it all: breaking news, reveals, and first-hand looks at the Bronco builds you want to see and products you’ll want to know about. Follow us on social and here in the forums to keep up. We are there at SEMA for you: Ask us questions, request booths and products for us to track down, and tell us what you want to see more of from the show!

Today’s news: Ford Custom Garage packages –– limited-edition parts bundles that let owners personalize their vehicles with appearance and performance upgrades, directly from Ford and available through dealers.

What credentials are needed to get into SEMA?

It's a trade-only show, so you have to be in or around the automotive industry, the aftermarket industry, the automotive media industry, etc. etc.

There is public admission, but it's good for the last day only (Friday)... and honestly many of vendors/exhibits are gone or actively packing up on Friday so they can catch flights home. But regardless, you can get tickets here: https://www.semafest.com/

My personal opinion: I used to work for a company that built television trucks, and that enabled me to get tickets to go. Enjoyed it the first couple of years... but I stopped going about a 6-7 years ago. Admittedly SEMA show has always been on the flamboyant and ridiculousness side, but once social media got introduced it just got excessive in a hurry. Can't blame anyone... but ya know... it became less about the trade show and the products, and more about building insanely flashy one-off builds to attract eyeballs online. BUT, I do think it's still worth experiencing at least once.

The BN staff arrived at SEMA yesterday. Because I'm not there and some here don't use Instagram, I'll be posting the Broncos we capture.

If you are on Instagram, follow along directly: thebronconation! There are options to interact, like the one below.
Drop any requests here and we will pass them on, too!

Excited to see all the Broncos from the team and the community members onsite!

It's a nice package, but no, since the former owner already turned mine into a Dark Trail-ish/Matte Black-ish Bronco! I would consider the calibration, and people with the FPP lift say they love it. Since I'm already there with Badlands, I have no need, but they suggested those shocks in place of the Bilsteins should my reservoirs fall prey to falling off.

yeah there were talks years ago about some titanium grab handles. Billit would be a little better priced.

Also two of those Broncos have the front two sections of roof installed and the rear clamshell removed. can you drive around like that with the factory top or are these special tops?

So I saw a video that ARB is coming out with a brushless motor compressor capable of 50% more output than their current brushed compressors. I don't know if they have one at SEMA or not but it would be cool to know more info on it!
