Every November the SEMA show comes to Las Vegas. If you've been to the show then you understand what a spectacle it is. Everything you can imagine, from import tuners, car audio products, models, and the racing industry, to our world of four-wheel-drive adventures and rock-crawling competitions. Each year we like to showcase some of the new products to hit the market for our scene. Take a look through the next modifications you will be making to your vehicle.
At either slow or fast speeds, having the confidence that your steering won't fail is crucial. New from Borgeson is its replacement intermediate steering shaft for your '97-'06 Jeep Wrangler.
