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. [nonono]

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... :D

So it's Madhat vs. John_P this month. [guitar]

This could get ugly. [laugh]

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! https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...ber_photos.jpg (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.

DANG IT! I juust uploaded my truck yesterday and was waiting on you guys...

Seriously!

"The Admin that's there for YOU!" 

OMG

why do we have to vote for just one??? JOhn P helped me countless times with my 12V and madhat, the admin thats here for me as well, has already accomplished with his CR what i wanna do with mine...

while i love the CR..

i have to be true to my diesel roots

John U got my vote...

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? [laugh] I did not know you were gonna go in there today! [laugh]

Good luck, John!

John I love your rig but........



Gotta pull for the hat!

Agreed on JP having the cleanest truck in existence. But gotta give my vote to a fellow Jarhead!

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

Madhat has my vote. Been a good admin and friend to me also him and his wife also got my wife and I wedding gift last year. John has a nice truck too but I have to vote for Mark.

Semper Fi! You got my vote Madhat

Got to vote for Johnp ,GREAT GUY,Clean STRONG 12 v

Oh, the Marine loyalty!

Keep them coming, fellas. May the best man win!

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. [yuk] [laugh][laugh]


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

Thanks, Tim!

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

I'm gonna be overrun as soon as the 2ng gen guys get in here... :o

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!! :D:D

No hard feelings, I have to agree! :)

Well,...right now it looks like I am losing by a two-to-one margin!:(

But, I know how loyal current, retired and ex-Marines are to one another so I am probably at a disadvantage there anyway. Living here in eastern N.C. right near Camp Lejeune has made that VERY clear to me. There are alot of current, retired and ex-Marines here so I am sure I don't have much of a chance in this contest, but we will see. My sincere thanks to those that have voted for me so far though (TxDiesel007, ramman, McMopar). Thanks
guys!

Mark, good luck to you also Sir!;)

I stand corrected...........[duhhh]

When I said I was losing by a "two-to-one margin" I was only going by those Members that have posted here. Make no mistake, I am still losing but at least the TOTAL vote margin makes it somewhat closer. Again,....my thanks to all who voted for my truck!

John_P

Hey, buddy... it's close!! We're neck and neck, it's anyone's game.

----------------------------------------------------
"Neck and neck??"[dummy] Mark,.....you know I love you buddy,.......but I don't know what numbers you are looking at. I just checked the totals and you have 59.38% of the vote to my 40.63!! That is not "neck and neck!"[laugh]

Looks like you just got another vote... 10 little percent ain't nothin, John!

You got my vote, John. 12 valve AND red, I had no choice. Both are Dodge, though- win-win in my book.

Even though I've moved up to a 3rd gen I still have fond memories of my 2nd gen. John you have a clean looking truck & I do like red.[roll]

Luvn your truck John
 

Iam green at this site. but i must say getting to see your imaculate truck @ Scheids extravaganza awhie back was treat! Good luck man!:D

You got my vote Mark!!!!!

Hodge, tanker and dangdiesel:

Thanks for your vote and comments.

47 - 46 its a nail biter!

Had to vote for Madhat because I like Yuma - in the Winter.[coffee]

Dang its close!! I think they should settle it on the track. Of course Hat should get a 1.5 second start[laugh]

Boys it's close!

I'd rather settle it on the dyno... outlaw style ... he he he...

Toldja the DTR loves you, John!

Haha... Yeah, it's about to get hot here, but it's still really nice.

Sorry, Madhat. I couldn't help myself. When I saw it was only two difference I had to make it a difference of only one....LOL Both are great trucks.

Oohhh... I'm gettin beat by an old Air Force guy!!!

Madhat,

After reading your post regarding the attempt to pull the rig out of the sand, you get my vote.

Thanks, Dr. D! I try to inspire!

madhat has my vote. Besides having a nice truck this dude trys to help everyone he can and I think that's great. And I also like his special room he made in his house with all the Marine stuff. Pretty cool. Good luck to both you guys.

Thanks!!!!

........[laugh][laugh]

Dang it, John P is spankin that tail!!!!

Come on third gen guys! Don't let me down!!!

Nice trucks, nice guys & Patriots - tie breaker came down to seniority... don't worry Mark - your day will come! :cool:
