January '09 Truck of the Month Nomination thread

Sorry we're late - Rattlinram has been really busy with his day job and we had to figure out who was gonna post this thing.

Sooo, anyway...

This month's theme is "Custom Paint", so if you have a '89 - '09 Dodge Ram with a Cummins and a really cool custom paint job, nominate your truck for this month's TOM poll.


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 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!

          Well, if nobody else nominates a truck you might win by default!

          Soon, this year has been a disaster for me, no extra money to really get going. Health insurance and family health issues. I did find the engine, some of the turbo's and a bunch of other needed parts, but it is not underway yet. I still use 440 power to take the kid for Ice Cream on the weekends!!

          I got custom scratches, rock chips and door dings in my paint. Does that count?

          Looks like Santa came early and gave me a new paint job. Does this qualify for a custom paint job?
