Time to vote!

Time to vote!

Done..SOUSKE looks good..Love the 2 door

I got 89xj on this. His mod list is longer than bwfdrums stinger! And I gotta rep me Empire and MWC crew

I've seen Souske's rig... And even though I have to make a conscious effort to forgive the " 33" " he put under the name badge, he's done a nice job on it (and it pulls the Egg trailer well!). Besides the 2-door camaraderie, I dig the ragtop he put on it!

But the other rigs are mighty nice, too...

One more vote for the MWC!

Put mine down for time2getdirty.... I've watched that rig drive over a Toyota Corolla

Congratulations to time2getdirty for the decisive win. Who will be next? Next months ROTM will have no theme.

X2 on the corolla. All good lookin rigs though. Hope to get mine up for next months! Just need a wheelin pic ...

Congrats!

sweet, congrats

Congratulations!

time2getdirty's pic is up on the front page, might need to refresh the page for it to show up. (6/18/10)

Who's next? Next month there is no theme. Submission thread should open sometime around the 1st of July
