Truck Of The Month (TOTM) Contest

OK fellow truckies we are trying to generate some new life into areas of our board. We are going to try something new starting this month for the TOTM contest. There will be one contest each month that is open to all trucks, burbs, Blazers, Jimmys, and whatever other names the SUVs use. The years can be 19-whatever to 20-whatever. Each month we will have a different theme for the contest. Themes will include things like Show Stoppers, 4x4, Project Builds, and a few surprises I have up my sleeves. The contest and its theme will be announced and run through a thread on the General Discussion Board, with links to the contest areas. The theme of this month’s TOTM is

The BEASTS
Now here are the rules or criteria for the vehicles

To be an eligible BEAST

• It must be road worthy and currently legal (or close to it) to be on the road.
• It must have at least three imperfections. This includes things like different color paints (or lack of paint), dents, holes (large and small) or whatever might make someone afraid to go near it for fear of catching some sort of disease

.
• We won’t call them ugly, because we know it is just our baby’s character.

To Nominate:

You or someone else may nominate your truck in the following LINK. We will need a picture of the nominee vehicle, the owner’s board name, and the basics specs of the truck (year, engine/drive train specs). You or your nominator can provide additional info if desired.

We’ll accept nominees for 2 weeks (March 23 is the closeout). Boss or I will then PM the first 8 nominees to get any data and pictures if they haven’t already been provided that hadn’t been already provided. An e-mail address will be provided to send pictures in case the nominee has problems resizing them for the board. We will then put together a Poll Thread and announce it here on the General Discussion Board for the voting. The Poll will run for 2 weeks. After the voting period is over we will make the official announcement of the winners through the General Discussion Board area.

The winner will get two weeks in Disney world at their own expense. No really, the winner’s name will magically turn to Green to show that they have one.

OK folks, start clicking on the link and get those BEASTS in.

Attaboy Bill! I though maybe we had changed to a "truck of the quarter" or "truck of the year" situation. Glad to see you guys are getting this back on everone's minds.

Keep up the good work,

Dean

Can I enter if the t-case is out of my truck? It has an 05-06 inspection sticker. I can take a pic of if you need proof....

ANOTHER Q: If you don't win TOTM during one month, can you enter your truck in again for another month if it follows the guidelines?
