Ride Rundown SEMA Edition Part 4 - Street & Track Cars
Just because almost everything you have seen from us so far has been lifted, does not mean we don’t love a good street car or track weapon. In fact, although all of us at Shock Surplus has been bit by the four-wheeling bug, most of us have been long-time sufferers of the Tuner Car virus. We figured what better way to conclude our tour through our favorite SEMA rides than by indulging our often neglected love for a select few corner carvers? Although most of these builds seem somewhat unattainable, they are more simple than they let on, and we...
Ride Rundown SEMA Edition Part 3 - Old School Off-Road Reimagined
Undoubtedly one of the coolest parts about technology moving forward is to see how it gets applied and retrofitted to “outdated equipment.” There is always something cool about a classic. However, just because it is old does not mean it has to drive like clapped-out antiquated Mid-Century garbage. No question, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi about the raw unmuted way older cars wallow along the road, but wouldn’t it be much better if the thing boogied? Especially if you can still retain just a little bit of that soul. I know many of you out there have something...

We know, we know, most of you are not racing your trucks. Heck half of you reading these articles are not anywhere near a desert where you can have that true “Baja” experience.

In this chapter, we plan to help your let those seeds begin to flower with some builds that are far more attainable and feasible to the common man. Most of you, like us, are in modern late-model vehicles, and we totally...
Ride Rundown SEMA Edition Part 1 - Baja Rigs
SEMA 2021, Automotive Overload After trolling the many halls of the 2021 Ford Bronco Show, I mean the SEMA trade show, we thought it was only fair to share some of the awesome rigs and rides that stood out to us. We undoubtedly fell in love with heaps of builds; however, the further we journeyed through the jam-packed show and the more Sabretts hot dogs we ate, the more we realized that if you didn’t know what to look for, you wouldn’t have half a shot of knowing what you were looking at. We have hopes that this series will...
Bilstein 5100s Upgrade the Toyota Tacoma
Bilstein is one of the most well known brands of shocks out there. You can find Bilstein's shocks on Baja race vehicles to trucks fresh off the assembly line with off road packages, so when Thura called in and let us know what he uses his new Tacoma for, we already had Bilstein in mind. How do you ride? Thura is a new firefighter working in the San Bernardino National Forest. His driving style includes fire road explorations to and from new campsites and driving up and down the mountain road to his home in Los Angeles. Some of the...
