VOTE NOW for March 2011 ROTM

[Bryan C.]

Theme for this month is: Cages. Internal, exo, hybrid, whatever. Fully caged rigs only.

As always, the following rules apply:

So you want to be in the Rig of the Month? Want to know how to get in?

The following rules apply:

Around the first of each month an official submission thread will open in the Picture Showcase forum.

First 5 rigs entered into this specific submission thread will be voted on. Each entry needs to include 2 pics and a list of mods to be considered. Thread will be edited and left with only the first 5 entries.

A proper submission should include 2 pics, usually one driveway or poser shot and an action shot, along with some details about your rig.

Some months there will be a theme for submissions. Entries that do not meet the theme requirements will be deleted.

Red letter names only for rigs submitted, everyone is allowed to vote.

Winners each month will get some face time on the front page, but the amount of time is not guaranteed. The front page should be made available for other NAXJA announcements as well.

All pictures submitted to the ROTM submission thread must have high resolution files available and have the permission of the photographer for use in the ROTM end of year calendar. If you do not have a high resolution image available then DO NOT POST THE PICTURE. If you do not have the photographer's permission to use the picture, without photo credit being given, then DO NOT POST THE PIC.

Winners each month will be required to submit both the high res picture files and photographer permission prior to your photos being put on the front page. If you cannot provide the high resolution images or permissions then you will forfeit your win, and the second place rig will take your place.

Each year we will hold a Rig of the Year contest in December. Only former rig of the month winners from the past calender year are eligible for Rig of the Year.

Any ROTM winner who is no longer a NAXJA member at the time of the Rig of the Year vote will be disqualified and ineligible for ROTY.

[POSJ]

Bryan deserves it more than anyone else, regardless of how many people in Mojojo's chapter vote.

[ktm racer 419]

i could post pics of chris (vetteboy) with my dogs, but its way more cooler than these winching pics and wheeling videos and i dont want you guys to whine about the unfair advantage

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Bryan deserves it more than anyone else, regardless of how many people in Mojojo's chapter vote.
Typical

[kastein]

I voted for vetteboy because I know him, it's glamour turquoise, and he has 2 cages.

[ktm racer 419]

he has 2 cages.

none of the other jeeps have 2 cages!

[goblazers_6]

Bryan deserves it more than anyone else, regardless of how many people in Mojojo's chapter vote.

I disagree. I've seen a lot of hybrid cages, and I've seen Mojojojo's cage in person, his cage is unique and very well built.

But my opinion could be biased.

I REMEMBER YOU!!!!

[POSJ]

lol, you guys get so bent for no reason. It was a stab at how chapters come out and vote so much for their people, not in anyway saying his rig isn't sweet. Mine is a turd compared to all of these so I'm not put anybody down.

I'm still unsure about your type but I'll vote for Mojojojo anyway.

I guess it's nice that you are so open with your "special" bond.

[Letterman]

How could anyone not vote for Bryan after one of the best build threads on NAXJA EVER!

That's some beautiful welding Dave.


He even said “Oh so you first welded the hinge to the body, then the body to the body, the you welded the weld to the weld.” I said "Ummmmm . . . Yeah . . . uhhh . . . sure, yeah thats what I did, triple layer stitch fish welded it together.”

I think it's worth mentioning that Parker's rig is partially roofless because he rolled it in Johnson Valley, cut the roof off, and wheeled it the rest of the weekend. :cheers:


Got my vote stockerwithalocker (Parker)! :cheers:
