December Truck Of the Month Winner!
TexasCTD
for winning a close battle for the title of
DTR Truck Of the Month
for the month of
December
We salute all the other nominees that showed their rigs doing what they do best.
*****************************************
Sadly for me,,,, this will be the last time for me at posting the Truck Of the Month threads. A combination of my work schedule, no DTR internet time allotment in my new job assignment (that bites!) , still using dial-up at home here in the sticks and the fact that the members here deserve to have the TOM be a little more organized,,,,, ( not one of my better traits to start with,,, ).
It's been fun and I'm sure the TOM will continue to showcase the rigs that were the cause in starting a great forum like Diesel Truck Resource.
Y'all have a great Holiday season,
Dennis

Congratulations - great looking rig!
I am 3 sleeps from getting into my '07 Mega Cab 2500 5.9. I am considering a 2" level kit and larger rims and was leaning toward the black look too - maybe a Teflon version from AR's line up. I like your rims - what are the specs on them and the rubber?

Dennis thanks so much for your work in the TOMs each month! Time is a big restraint for everybody so im sure we all understand. You still have to come around and continue to be a common face here! You too have a great Holiday Season.

My rims are stock 3rd gen alloys, sandblasted and powdercoated black. They turned out great, imo. The PC is holding up well.
The tires are BFG KM2 Mud terrains, 35'' size. They currently have about 28K miles on them......with well over half the tread life remaining. Should see 50K easy.....and then I will probably have to switch just because of the puny load rating. (3000lbs). May switch to Toyos...not sure yet.

Thanks for all the compliments gentlemen! I feel honored to be here with 24 entries in the race. I hope that some of the ideas I have put into my truck over the years have inspired a few others with their own trucks. I know I have got most of my ideas from others here on DTR and instilled them into my truck in one way or another!
I want to add........my truck was influenced (in my own mind) in ways they don't even know about by members CQuestad, RamWheelsby4, RowJ, BNold, RickD, Moterhead, Bobcat698 and many others!
And I owe a great deal of thanks to many members of North Texas DTR #8 for their assistance in wrenching on some of these very ideas and improvements/upgrades etc.
The black wheels, the powerwagon flares, Ranch hands, the debadging....and then later the rebadging with 2nd gen sport badges....the KM2s, the recon smoked cab lights, black headlights, LED rear taillights, Mike from Lazarsmith's traction bars, James Northum's DTT tranny, the list goes on and on! I am very proud of the truck and it is still a work in progress.
Someday.....I hope to add Twins, Flux's, F1 Cam, Springs, studs, PacBrake bags, onboard air, and Exhaust brake......and maybe Rickson 19.5'' wheels.
It's only taken me 103K miles to do what i've done! Maybe I can call it finished at around 200K.
Thanks again for the support and congrats! If I can be of any help to anybody with specs, ideas, info......please let me know!
