I Bought The Stolen Gold SEMA Truck & Its Worse Than You Could Imagine - Pt.1

Story of the 2019 SEMA attending, then stolen & recovered Gold Ram 3500, purchased by myself to rebuild as redemption for SEMA 2024

[@williammccabe3767]

Seriously how could anybody not know that was an insurance job. You have a truck with “one off everything” with no useable parts for any other vehicle.

[@KDlGG]

That’s not even what made it an obvious insurance job, the previous owner doing this before was a dead giveaway 😂

[@adampetten1009]

@KDlGG and using your other personal truck to steal your money pit truck wasn't too well thought out. Could of rented a truck and removed plates.. could of done many simple things but he didn't. Glad he got caught as insurance rates are getting high .

Dude got so mad in the Facebook comments, like dog thats cool you built a "Sema Truck", but still doesnt take away that it was a garbage build 😂. Alot of people there actually have a time crunch on their builds (doing them on time) this shmuck started late, half assed it, and then got butthurt when people pointed out how its half assed. Do it right or dont do it at all, building a vehicle for Semas as cool as joining the special olympics without a disability, its not lmao.

[@notanymore9471]

SEMA builds are usually garbage. As a fabricator I’ve walked SeMA and seen the most ridiculous unfinished horrible crap on display there. Missing welds, half finished and still on display. As a general rule any show truck is just that, for show and hardly functional for daily use.

[@Andrew61968]

In the pictures of the crash the truck wasn't even painted just wrapped that just makes the truck more of a hack.

[@warwickandrews]

The “thief” took the aftermarket gold hood and put the stocker back on so it’s paint but I agree about wraps lol

[@2DogsVlogs]

Builds like this are typical for show cars. Friend of my brothers bought an ex-showcar that won lots of awards till it was retired and used as a road car for 4 years before the friend swapped it and paid cash on his car. He intended to fix it up again but doing the bodywork discovered the huge amount of body filler in it and dodgy work. He ended up just trying to fix it so it could be drivable. The engine didn't even run right because they took the goodies off it, but he got that all put back on. The body was the biggest problem as it really needed a new factory shell.

[@sethc4758]

before realizing who actually "stole" it, I was thinking why in the hell would some thieves take a showroom/mall crawling "stolen" truck to a well known off road spot? i kind of thought maybe someone really just hated that truck, so they rolled it of the side of the mountain. and i guess that was still pretty true. just wasnt thieves..
