June Truck of the Month - Admin Throw-Down!

Well, the "Ugly Truck of the Month" idea was a complete flop - we got no entries at all. Somebody whose truck was just dirty could have had a bye run and won by default, but nobody stepped up to the plate to admit that his or her Dodge might be a little less than attractive.

So anyway, Madhat has been itching to be TOM for a while, and I keep telling him he's not eligible because he's an admin and it wouldn't be fair to put him in the poll. Since nobody wanted to be TOM this month, I thought he deserved a chance. But I wasn't going to just hand it to him. John_P hasn't been TOM either...

So it's Madhat vs. John_P this month.

This could get ugly.

Truck Of the Month Procedure

* Around the 1st of the month, we will post a thread with the winner for the previous month’s poll in the General Diesel Discussion section of the forums.

* At the same time, we will post a “TOM Candidate” thread in the same forum. In this thread we will announce the category of trucks that will be accepted as possible candidates. (1st Gen 250, 350, 2nd Gen 2500, 3500, 3rd Gen 2500, 3500, MegaCab, etc.)

* If your truck falls into the chosen category for that month and you would like to have a chance to be in the poll, then you can nominate your truck by posting a picture from your gallery in that thread.
* NOTE: The picture MUST come from your Diesel Truck Resource Member Photo Gallery! (Anything else will be deleted.)

* You can also list some of the mods and accessories on your rig in the same post. Please post only once in that thread. If your truck is not selected for the poll or it is but it doesn't win, you may nominate it again when your category comes back around.

* Previous Winners of the TOM will not be eligible to participate. (Previous Winner being defined as truck and/or DTR Member)

* The “TOM Candidate” thread will be open from around the 1st of the month until around the 14th of the month. That gives you two weeks to submit your truck.

* At this time it will be locked, the three poll candidates will be chosen and the poll will be posted on or around the 15th . The poll will be voted on until the end of the month and we start all over again on the 1st of the next month by posting the winner in one thread and posting the “TOM Candidate” thread for the next month's category.
          Special THANKS to Tim Barber at TRE Diesel Performance for sponsoring the TOM Award plaques!

          Oh, man, this is gonna get dirty!

          John P, you've got my vote, brother. As I've stated many times before, you have the cleanest truck I have ever seen...You've put a lot of hard work in that thing, it is a beast!!!

          Dave, you couldn't have put a newer pic in the poll? I did not know you were gonna go in there today!

          Good luck, John!

          Wow this is a tough one!!! Love my 3rd gens but John has got one sweet truck!

          Since I burned about 90 dollars worth of rubber off Hat's truck while he was in Japan. I would say he deserves my vote. Good luck buddy

          My my my my, where do I go from here? Mad hat my younger protege, John P. clearly the more experienced, most handsome debonair of the two. Hmmmmm, a tuff decision none the less.

          My decision lies with Mad Hat, simply because that very awkward looking magnetic mount antenna is on the roof of your otherwise pristine truck.


          No offense meant, just calling it the way I see it.

          I was just thinking... due to past knowledge of TOM's...

          Madhat, you are a good guy, but.......my loyalty is with JP, and I don't think there is a cleaner, more stock looking 11 second 12 valve on the planet!!!!

          Good luck buddy!!
