Road Trip Challenges and SEMA Dreams: B is for Build Takes on Portland to Las Vegas Journey

In this exhilarating episode of B is for Build, the intrepid team embarks on a daring road trip from the rainy city of Portland to the glitzy oasis of Las Vegas in their magnificent SEMA build. But as fate would have it, their journey is plagued by a series of unfortunate events. Just as they set off, their hopes are dashed when they discover that the heater in their prized vehicle has mysteriously stopped working. Is it a case of a faulty circuit board or a forgotten plug? Either way, they cannot endure the cold conditions without a functioning heater. The stakes are high, as a breakdown or a collision with a deer could jeopardize their chances of making it to SEMA on time.

Undeterred, the team races back to the shop to fix the issue, only to be met with another setback. They realize that the key to the shop, where they could potentially find a replacement circuit board, is locked inside. Panic sets in as they desperately try to reach their sleeping colleagues for help. With limited tools and a blown fuse, they manage to find the source of the problem: a modified circuit board causing a short circuit. After insulating the area, they hope for the best and hit the road once again.

As they navigate treacherous mountain passes and face unexpected snowfall, the team's determination shines through. They push through the freezing temperatures, their eyes fixed on the clock, as they must reach their destination before nightfall. The risk of losing their coveted spot at SEMA looms over them, adding to the pressure. But with each passing mile, their resolve strengthens, and they continue to push forward, only stopping for fuel and bathroom breaks.

Amidst the challenges, the team finds moments of respite and entertainment. They indulge in a series of liquor tastings, sampling a variety of peculiar drinks they picked up along the way. From disappointing margaritas to surprisingly enjoyable moonshine, their reviews provide both informative and amusing interludes in their adrenaline-fueled journey.

Despite the hardships and the constant race against time, the team remains undeterred. They are determined to make it to SEMA, showcasing their remarkable SEMA build to the world. With racing stripes planned as their next modification, they are ready to conquer any obstacle that comes their way. This road trip, though filled with ups and downs, serves as a testament to their unwavering passion and dedication to their craft.
