The SEMA 2019 show may be over, but neglecting to tell you about this custom Jeep Gladiator LINE-X just wouldn’t do, so here goes!

Created by U.S. tuner Zero to 60 Designs, the truck’s main exterior feature probably comes in the form of the half-height doors – the Wrangler has had these as an option for quite some time now, but the Gladiator has always been missing out.

Another major highlight is the custom body kit, which includes widened fenders with integrated LED stripes, a ventilated ‘power dome’ hood, a new front apron with a winch, and a bulky rear add-on with a tow hook. The truck bed is now reliably shielded from elements and inlaid with a soft material.

The truck rides on Rhino beadlock rims wrapped in meaty Nexen Offroad rubber. The suspension benefits from FOX Components and is distinctly taller than stock.

The powertrain of the Jeep Gladiator LINE-X stays stock, unless you count the MagnaFlow exhaust system. The cabin, on the other hand, has been fully re-trimmed to match the exterior in style.

Jon Sibal is an industrial designer and 3D artist well known for his concept arts of various vehicles. Some of these are so popular that tuning shops implement them in real life, and this insane Toyota Tacoma ‘racing truck’ is one of the wildest so far.

Completed by the U.S.-based firm The Performance Truck, the project presented numerous challenges for the responsible team. Perhaps the trickiest part was producing the sophisticated and extreme aero kit, which includes the exorbitantly large front spoiler/splitter, side canards and skirts made of carbon fiber, a hood scoop, fender flares, an overwhelmingly huge rear diffuser, and a rear wing to match it.

This is not to say that the truck is all style and no substance. It has been engine-swapped to a TRD NASCAR V8 rated at 900 hp (671 kW), and a Gibson exhaust system makes sure everyone within a mile radius of the car promptly becomes aware of the fact.

Some of the further highlights include Forgeline wheels wrapped in meaty BFGoodrich tires, a CCW Wraps body treatment, lots of custom bodywork, and the kind of interior makeover that makes you forget you are inside of a truck.

Impressive, huh?

Inkas, a Canada-based armored vehicle manufacturer, has unveiled the 2020 Inkas Sentry Civilian Ford F-550, a bullet- and blast-proof SUV built with a large pickup truck at its base. Let us have a closer look, shall we?

The company claims the bodywork and the glass dome comply with the BR6 standard, which means they can withstand 7.62mm-caliber automatic gunfire. The car also should not come to any harm even if a regular or splinter grenade explodes underneath it.

A 6.7-liter turbocharged V8 diesel engine rated at 330 hp (246 kW) and 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque is used to haul all that added weight around. The transmission is ten-speed automatic, and the fuel tank has been expanded to 150 liters.

The SUV might look like a badass military vehicle on the outside, but crack open the door, and you will realize at once that it is a civilian truck. Amenities include massaged, heated and ventilated seats wrapped in the finest natural leather, separate touch panels for all passengers, and a single large multimedia screen in the middle.

In many ways, the equipment level of the 2020 Inkas Sentry Civilian Ford F-550 is not inferior to that of Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Maybach vehicles, hence the U.S. $350,000 minimum price tag.

Body kits nowadays are much more often used as a fashion statement than an actual aerodynamic upgrade. Styling parts are designed for bulky vans and urban subcompacts alike that make them look like wannabe track tools. Naturally, pickup trucks are also on the list.

A while ago, Japan-based tuner Pancross LLC (a.k.a. Pandem Rocketbunny tra-kyoto) launched a grotesquely oversized kit for the Ford F-150, probably leaving some Nissan Titan fans envious. A few days ago, it adopted the same kit to the 2020 Titan.

Like any typical JDM kit, the Rocketbunny is all about massively overblown fender flares, large gaps between parts, and exposed hardware. ‘Elegance’ is an alien concept, but ‘brutality’ and ‘hardcore’ both come to mind. Then there is the massive bull bar and the new exhaust system with quasi-charred tips.

As you can see, quite a few parts remain stock, but custom wheels and slammed air suspension save the day.

How do you like this Titan?

Fitting the ten-cylinder, naturally aspirated mill of the Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 with dual turbine chargers sounds like a natural thing to do, and tuners have been doing it a lot lately. Now, cutting it out and stuffing a twin-turbo V8 in its place is much more challenging. And why would do that, anyway?

One valid scenario is when your beloved Huracan gets into an accident and ends up with partially burned drivetrain – just like this one. Currently owned by Chris Steinbacher, famous anchor of B is for Build, it underwent a complete restoration and engine swap.

We have to admit, the outcome exceeded our boldest expectations. Note the all-new bespoke body kit that looks in no way inferior to the latest LB-Silhouette WORKS GT. The kit alone makes it a truly unique vehicle probably worth buying for your collection.

A mighty LQ4 LS V8 with seven liters of displacement uses giant dual turbochargers to churn out 1,000+ horsepower (745+ kilowatts). The gear is six-speed manual, taken from an older Audi R8.

Founded by famous racing driver and drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr., the tuning company usually specializes in Ford Mustangs. Still, sometimes it tries something different to keep the rust away – such as this excellent 2020 Ford Ranger build for SEMA.

The pickup truck sports more or less the same range of upgrades RTR usually puts on its Mustang projects. This includes their iconic radiator grille, LED-based lighting all around, and the custom hood cover with black decals doing their best to imitate air intakes (you can order a real ventilated hood instead, but that one naturally comes at a premium).

The truck also sports widened fenders and a Ford Performance exhaust system. In-house-designed 17-inch wheels come wrapped in Nitto Ridge Grappler 265/70 R17 tires, and the suspension benefits from Fox 2.0 coilovers.

The cabin trim mostly involves black and grey leather adorned with contrast stitching and RTR Vehicles logos. The drivetrain stays stock.

Fans of the newest Need for Speed: Heat will immediately recognize this sports car for the custom Volvo Polestar 1. Sekrit Studios brought the unique ride to SEMA, but other tuners participated in its creation as well.

The yellow track tool flaunts a gigantic front spoiler, matching side flaps, and a ventilated hood. Moving on to the sides, the fenders and the skirts have been widened. The rear end is dominated by an aggressive diffuser and a light-alloy rear wing that looks like something that belongs in aerospace industry.

Californian tuner Sadistic Iron Werks picked the suspension kit and wheels for the model. The choice fell on height-adjustable air-cushioned suspension and Rotiform forged rims painted a deep black tone.

The car retains its stock powertrain specs, but this is hardly a problem, given that it is a hybrid with 600 hp (447 kW) and 1,000 Nm (738 pound-feet) of torque at its disposal.

Remember Rutledge Wood, ex-anchor of Top Gear USA? The guy went under the radar after abandoning the show in 2016, but made an unexpected SEMA comeback with a unique tuning project.

A known Supra lover, Wood brought his own version of the sports car to the expo, dubbed HyperBoost Edition. He enlisted the help of LL17 Motorsports for the job.

The project is based on the newest A90 GT Supra and features a carbon-fiber front spoiler lip, widened aprons, fenders and side skirts, a gorgeous old-school Supra wing, and a ducktail spoiler. The body wears a TRD Cement Grey paint, and the roof is also made of carbon fiber.

The stock wheels made room for 20-inch Lightspeed Racing forged rollers sporting Apple Candy Red spokes and visual carbon-trimmed rims. The tires are Continental ExtremeContact, and the suspension kit is KW Variant 3.

One final visual highlight comes in the form of six-piston Brembo brakes on the front axle. Aside from looking sporty, the performance calipers and discs serve a practical purpose as well, because the output of the 3.0-liter BMW I6 engine has more than doubled and now amounts to 750 hp (559 kW).

Let us have a look at yet another remarkable SEMA debutant: the Frontier Desert Runner pickup, fitted to dominate the sands.

Nissan says it has co-designed the vehicle with MA Motorsports. While the regular Frontier truck comes equipped with a four-liter V6, the Desert Runner packs an enhanced 5.6-liter Endurance V8 sourced from the Titan full-size truck. It delivers over 600 hp (450 kW) and 950 Nm (700 lb-ft) of torque to the wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

The custom Frontier also packs two bearing frames and song-stroke front axle suspension for better acceleration opportunities even in challenging off-road conditions.

The cabin keeps its trim and equipment to a bare minimum. There are Sparco seats, basic controls and safety belts to be seen – and little else.
