VIDEO : SEMA 2019 - DAY 4 / AFE / Rancho / Tuffy / Synergy & MORE

[wayoflife]

Our final day at the 2019 SEMA Show was a busy one for us as we tried to get in as many manufacturers as we could before everything came to an end. To kick off our day, we ran over to Central Hall, the main hall or what I like to refer to as the epicenter of the show and to meet up with aFe Power who wanted to show us their new coilovers, bypass shocks, air intake system, exhaust systems and even a cool new grill insert that comes complete with off-road lights. From there, we cross the hall and made a quick stop over at S&B to see if they did anything new with the particle separator they showed off last year and then headed over to our good friends at Rancho to see what they had on display for the Gladiator truck. After paying a quick visit over at Tekton tools, we made our way back in to the Off-Road Hall and hooked up with Tuffy Security to see the storage box and bed cover they got a couple awards for and then wrapped up our day at Synergy where we got a close up look at their awesome 2-door JL Wrangler with long arm kit installed. Whew! We hope you enjoy

Lol.

Eddie: "Is this legal in California?"

AFE: "No, it's legal in 49 states."

Fucking California never wants to play ball :cheesy:

LOL - okay, so it was a loaded question.
So glad I no longer live in that fricken state. :rock:

That Tekton warranty is amazing too. Doesn't matter if you're the original purchaser or not, no proof of purchase required, etc. Sounds like they stand behind their products.

Yeah, talked to them for a bit and they're pretty damn confident in their tools. They stand behind them more than Craftsman these days. For the warranty alone, I'll continue to buy their stuff.

Another year of amazing coverage, videos, perspectives and, valued, opinions of all things Jeep related. You both are great. Thank you for all the effort and passion that you bring to us. There simply isn't enough positive to be said about the quality of everything you both do.
I look forward to the next installment of Wayalife.

 

[TrailHunter]

Great coverage you two! Lots of cool stuff.

 

[J&K4ADV]

Thank you for the great coverage! I have been watching a lot of your videos and I have learned a ton. Thank you both. Hope you had fun at the show.

 

[Lannister]

Some two door love.... yeah

Thanks for the coverage. I am still on the fence on the JT, but it was interesting to see how the industry as a whole seems to have moved fast with aftermarket offers. For the record, you finished with a two door....

 

[Q-Ball]

Very informative, hoping to retire soon and leave California. My piggy bank isn't going to survive Eddie's SEMA coverage

 

[Brute]

I'm glad you and Cindy survived another SEMA...always thankful for the vast aftermarket think pool to address quirks and shortcomings at the oem manufacturing level (with price point and gov't restrictions etc) with innovative solutions and outside the box thinking to keep our market section engaged as consumers...I suspect a neat bourbon libation may be in order (several, in fact)...

Great coverage of SEMA! I was just looking at Tekton website today because of you. Now I see this video with them in it. I think I am going to have to try them out the next time I need a tool or replace a tool. I have mostly all Craftsman right now and there customer service is going down hill and its harder to find places to deal with them now.

Darn rights-I torched my Craftsman digital torque wrench and when I went to take it back, sadly realized it only had a 90 day warranty!

Man that guys voice from AFE. I thought he was reading from a script.

Tekton continues to impress me. And their warranty is super easy to use.

Does ranch have any plans for make the JL mirrors work with those tube doors? I’m not a tube door guy but not a fan of the JK mirrors.

Maybe I missed it but is tuffy planning to make a tonneau that works without their boxes?

Good stuff from Sunergy. I like the half doors.

[jeeeep]

thanks for another year of great coverage! :clap2:

I like what Synergy has in the works, think i'll wait out the JL build and let some new products get to market.

 

[wjtstudios]

Another great year of coverage! Thanks for taking us along.

I’m glad you had the guys from Tekton on. It’s great to see how well they stand behind their products. Same thing with synergy, it looks like they enjoyed test phase of their development!!

Thanks again!

We're truly flattered you would say as much and really do appreciate it.

Awesome! So glad you enjoyed our coverage

Oh yeah, gotta give the 2-doors some love. At least, when we can find one. :yup:

:cheesy: Too funny but yes, you need to get out of that god forsaken state. :thumb:

I have mostly all Craftsman right now and there customer service is going down hill and its harder to find places to deal with them now.

Started buying Tekton a few years back and mainly for trail tools that were a step up from Harbor Freight. I have since found myself turning more and more to them and now use them in my garage as well. If anything, I've been finding them to be on par with my old Craftsman and really, their warranty is BETTER than new Craftsman. If you do feel the need to buy new tools, I'd be grateful if you'd consider doing it through this website. Doesn't cost anything more and we do get a small kickback. Thanks!

Darn rights-I torched my Craftsman digital torque wrench and when I went to take it back, sadly realized it only had a 90 day warranty!

Honestly, that's what got me looking at Tekton. Same thing happened to me with my Craftsman torque wrench.

LOL - it did to me as well. I was hoping to talk to a different guy but apparently, we got to their booth a bit early.

I'm with you regarding Tekton. Their warranty alone will keep me buying their tools from here on out. Affordable and so far, they've been working!

Not 100% sure about Tuffy. I'm sure if it were up to Eric, the guy who used to own it before being bought out by Bestop, it would have been done already. I talked to him for a bit and unfortunately, he has a lesser roll there now.

The JT was the big news of course. I'm impressed how quickly truly innovative products have reached the marketplace or are about to be retailed. Most interesting to me are the bolt on suspension systems requiring cutting and grinding only. They're probably not "hard core", but they're close enough for me. Excellent coverage this year.
