Thumbs up October Truck Of the Month WINNER!

CONGRATULATIONS
GOES OUT TO,,,,
BRUISER
for being voted the
DTR
October
TRUCK OF THE MONTH



And I don't think any one of us would turn down having any of the other cool rigs sitting in the driveway either!
Nominate them again when the category comes back around,,,,
.

**********************************************
Truck Of the Month Procedure for 2008

The DTR TOM Staff has come up with a new procedure for choosing the TOM candidates.


* 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 because the TOM committee will select three trucks from that thread to be in the poll. The process for selecting the three candidates from this thread will be completely at random. 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 at random 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!

          Thumbs up Go the 1st Gen's!!!

          Well done Bruiser! You beat out some tough competition there buddy, but came through. Nice. I wonder though, due to the response you've gotten on here for your conversion, if Dodge wouldn't have been better off thinking ahead a bit more and introducing the 4-door earlier...
          Kudos to Doznfire for being the first to congratulate you, on this thread anyway. That's a sharp look'n rig you got there Dozn! Makes me all inspired to keep going with my heap.

          Cheers!
