I was about to tell you that there is a lot more hideous Gladiators coming out of Sema, but looks like you found them. I feel like the lowered Gladiator had some style and class to it. Some of the crap Fab Fours is putting out is horrendous. You can't even burn it with fire, because it came from hell.

I agree on all most everything you said about Fab Four except i do like there rear JT bumper. It is right up FF runway. Ugly as sin but it looks like it protects some very venerable spots on the JT as it bounces around the woods on the tight trails.

Almost every jeep in that video is puke mode. I cant wait till next year when they may have a good wheel and tire set. I'm holding out for the 42x15 41.5

I haven't seen much I liked. Everything was 40" tires and 20"+ wheels.
The rim and tire combos were horrible. No other way to put it. Almost makes a man angry.

I wanted to hate it, but I don't. I do hate the Grumpy bumper.
I have mad respect for their attention to detail, including the color matched finish on the rear diff and axle that no one will ever see.
If that thing had a hellcat motor, it would be more in line with the theme.

The window hard top was neat...and so was the jeep at the end. the rest was just a huge waste of money and time.

Strange thing to notice but the bump stops made me laugh. On one you can clearly see the OEM yellow pimple that is just stuck there serving no purpose with their 10in lift kit haha

Here's more. I am not sure what is going on with these huge rim trucks, but I am not a fan. Maybe all the awesome builds are on the inside.

My favorite one so far is this white one in the background, getting no love from the cameras.

Most are impractical. The only one that is impractical that I could use is the snow cat version. Most want to make me :puke:

Looks like they just threw the most big, flashy parts on that they could find. No thought given to function or aesthetics.

I think most of ya'll are missing the point about what a SEMA build is. It's not about what you should build, it's about what you can build. It's an aftermarket accessories show and it's total purpose is to show off as many accessories as you can. Over the years, builders have had to get more and more creative and flashy in order to stand out from all the others in the show so that their accessories they want to sell get noticed as well. This show is not meant for you and me as the consumer, it's meant for the shops that are eventually gonna sell these products.

All that being said, I don't disagree with ya'll about them being tacky and ugly. But I understand why they are that way.
