January 2008 Truck Of the Month Winner!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

DIESEL TRUCK RESOURCE
is happy to announce the
January 2008
Truck Of the Month

Winning the poll with 46% of the votes is
dodgezilla04



Congratulations to dodgezilla04 and all the other nice rigs that were nominated.


*NOTE* Now would be a good time to go into your profiles and make sure you have your Truck Mods listed. You can do this by clicking at the top of the page and then Edit Profile to put your info in.

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

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


* Starting Dec. 1st, 2007, we will post a thread with the winner for this 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 the 1st of the month until 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 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!

          True....but when they ARE clean....they look so good....it makes it worth it to put up with the way they look when they are NOT.

          Don't feel bad,,,, I haven't seen the ones from the new vendor yet either.
          Lary is going to take a picture of the current design from the new vendor which I think is close to the older version below. Keith at Forest City Diesel originally came up with the one you see below and handled shipping them out, but finally had to give it up due to him getting too busy at work. Tim at TRE Diesel Performance volunteered to sponsor the plaques, so Lary then found a new vendor close to him after some searching and now handles shipping them out. I don't know where Lary finds the time with all his other duties here at DTR,,, but I've heard through the grapevine that a few of the many voices in his head helps him out from time to time.
