My SEMA Story.

Aaron, although this tear-jerker of a story was nice...I think the SSM community really needs to know that this truck was built without a single, swear word. Not one "Shit," "Fuck," "Bitch," "Cunt," Mother Fucker," or anything of the related kind (I'm not kidding), which given the events of the past week is amazing in itself. After the Acura, it was hard to top it, but you did...congratulations for making it to sema, and for building one of the most amazing vehicles that has ever been built.

Dude, this thing is slick as owl shit!!! Looks killer!! Love the story behind the build and from what the truck looks like, I would say it was well worth it!! The solid black is badass!

Great story, Aaron! You got to love those SEMA deadlines! LOL. Your Armada came out beautiful!!! It has definitely came a long way! And yeah, its always nice to have friends/family willing to help/hang out, lend a hand, and even pull all nighters on those tideous builds...it just makes it that less stressful! ^^^LOL at the picture^^^ Looks like your in need of some more Zzzzzzzz... Enjoy SEMA dude!!!

Great story. Also great to read that the people involved didn't slack and drop the ball. Very cool to clear that up. The phx scene is always like a family deal. I've had a few adventures out there that showed how great some of the people are. Have fun at SEMA and safe trip home.

whats up aaron, first of congrats, second its a wow factor to see how fast you put this thing back together although i was invited to take my yukon to sema i decided not to, because i thought it was going to be sold this week, still waiting on dude to come pick it up, but when i seen the pictures of your armada on the coverage the first thing i thought was damm that has to be aarons armada and dam thats tight he made it to sema i remember you telling me you wanted to take it to sema the last time i talked to you, and it was nice to see it in the show coverage, now after reading the story ive apprereciated seeing it even more, i give props to everyone that helped you get it done too, i have missed a few shows thanks to no one coming to help me out, but its tight when someone comes to help, your armada turned out tight as hell and i look forward to see what you are going to do with it next, have fun at sema you deserve it, and i will talk to you soon. im selling my yukon to jump back on my original project my acura and hopefully will have it out at sema next year.

congrats man!that thing is beautiful!!!props to everyone that helped!!!

The fact that it was assembled without any profanity is what amazes me.

Huge thumbs up to everyone involved. Looks GREAT.

Aaron is a different breed. Are you SURE you didn't at least think it? But you are the nicest guy in the world so that may not even have entered your mind. Did Fiddlesticks at least get used?

I really think that this story goes to show just how positive and special the Arizona custom scene is. I honestly feel so lucky to live in a place where you can count on members from so many different clubs to join together as one solid community. I am so proud of Aaron and all of the other local friends from so many Arizona clubs who were able to make deadlines and bring their vehicles to SEMA this year.
