Its being discussed. Before TruckImage took it over, it floundered for at least 6 months. I couldn't beat the ToTM drum hard enough to get people to nominate. I even got rid of the rule that you had to nominate someone else's truck! Still, it got to the point that there really was no diversity in the lineup and finding 4 trucks to vote on that had not won in the last 12 months was difficult.

That could diversify it and help narrow the results while still showcasing all the different styles and giving everyone a chance.
Just a thought.

That's not off the table but since this is a corporate owned site with 100+ communities under its belt, I doubt they'd want to keep up with that workload. I am looking into a new forum header though. That one is a few years old and is a little outdated. Design contest? Maybe.

Yeah. No need for three vehicles in my family. Plus, this think is kicking my *** on repairs. I've owned it for about a year and I've replaced
-Alternator
-Power steering pump
-Clutch master cylinder
-Entire rusty exhaust system
-Timing belt and all that associated shebang
-All tires (including dry rotted spare)
Still to do:
-Right exhaust manifold is cracked
-Throw out bearing is toast (must remove from torsion bars to get trans out)
-Valve cover gaskets are leaking oil (remove supercharger for that)
Its bleeding me dry when combined with only getting 14.1mpg with required premium fuel.

Rear main seal.
Still need to do oil pan gasket, left front ball joint (will probably do both), and a u joint. Sucks about the truck though, and we need to do another meet soon... hopefully we get a couple more people this time!
And oh yeah... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LENN!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!
