Guys, please remember that when this is over I will REQUIRE that high resolution/good quality photos be sent to me to go in the Calendar. Please be prepared to do so. If not, the runner up's entry will be used instead.

K, Go.

 

Tough competition this month, nice looking rigs.

 

Definitely tough competition, love the silver 2001!

 

Voted

 

Can't hang with a prettier XJ

That thing is sharp.

 

Yeah man, I wish mine looked that good
I don't think it ever will when I'm doing this stuff though lol

 

Yeah, I care about how pretty mine looks on the road, but when I'm on a trail I'll drive it into trees or rocks and not think twice. These two actions don't coinside well.

 

Dude I've seen you handy work and when you're done that's going to be an even bigger beast of a rig. I wouldn't want to go toe to toe with you then. Got lucky with the timing.

All the entries this month are money rigs. You can tell each one has had a ton of time and effort put into it. Definitely one of the tougher COTM competitions this year. You should be proud.

 

I will say that all of the rigs this month are built pretty similarly and do have a lot of time in them. Normally there are one or two outliers.

Maryland thread runs deep. I think I trolled for votes there last year when I won, but I was more active in that thread then.

 

Yeah I hit them up. Last year there was more activity and members than now. I think its down to about 6 daily's and a dozen or so weekly that check in and of that even a few still mentioned that I only got their vote cause your rig is in for repairs.
