Diamond Bar, CA
(July 26, 2012)
- Dealers, jobbers, installers and other specialty-equipment industry
enthusiasts attending the 2012 SEMA Show will be able to learn all about the
dynamic Jeep and off-road lifestyle market through the new Off-Road Success
Center, presented by OMIX-Rugged Ridge. Located in within the Trucks/SUV
section in booth 30147 at the 2012 SEMA Show, the center provides those
interested in learning about the off-road market with a place to exchange

years ago, this knowledge was only available through the process of trial and
error. Now we can finally share experts' knowledge, and help other business
owners and entrepreneurs be even more successful."
Each seminar will be
facilitated by OMIX personnel and led by industry specialists, who will share
