I don't know if this helps but my truck is now officially "Ridiculously Insane" (read: Rejected Inspection)

Rejected for bad ball joints after I went and jumped my truck a few times. Real hard core wheelers blow out their ball joints! Lmao

 

[Redswan]

I for one have no idea what real wheelers do if that is the case.





Now that's a jump

 

[emelianenkov]

This is why you got my vote! Haha

I'm just trying to stick up for myself in this losing battle...

 

[kevinpt]

i nominate myself? [MENTION=77471]kevinpt[/MENTION]

would like a better skid seeing as i have dented my stock ones. im mostly stock with lift in the works
kevinpt's build

cant let all the highly modded trucks win all the time

so no one wants to help out a stock runner?

No one :moping:

I was actually gonna second you but there were already 9 nominees at the time and since we're apparently letting in anyone who gets seconded now I didn't want split the vote more. More nominees means more division among the voting which seems to give the less built 4Rs less of a chance. i.e. most votes go to the winner and very few votes go to the rest of the nominees.

Ya, I was gonna cut it off after 5 nominees with seconds, but the last few months people seemed to want more nominees. Maybe next month the host will limit it to 5.

I know what you mean, a lot of people were asking for a larger pool. I was just saying that I personally did not 2nd kevinpt because I think more nominees leads to less chance for those who aren't the most popular choice.

edit- also I don't necessarily cut it off at 5 seconds, I usually just wait 10 days and select whoever has the most seconds and then the rest according to who was seconded in first. But this is the members' forum so whatever the members want is what the members get!

 

[having fun]

Here I take off out of town to work and come back, and we see all the nominees are posted. All the pleas and promises like a election. I WILL.... I WILL.... I WILL..... LOL.
Time to sit back and watch how this one plays out. op2:

Seconded :thumb:

 

[WillRunner05]

Good luck Redswan!!!

 

[momo.75]

It really should have been cut off at 5. I would just cut off the last people after the initial 5.

I don't really want to cut people out now after they had already been seconded and posted to the poll, but maybe we'll make a thread where we can come up with an "official" set of rules to use from this point forward for nominations and seconds and setting a limit etc. [MENTION=50591]gaterose[/MENTION] are you doing it next month?

Personally, I think cutting it off at the first 5 to receive seconds would be a good idea.

 

[emelianenkov]

You can cut me. I'm fine with that

 

[gaterose]

You can cut me.

I'm not certain a poll can be edited. Even then, since the full 10 days weren't allowed, who's to say that one of the last 4 wouldn't have gotten more seconds than someone among the first 5?

edit - whoops spoke to soon, I guess a poll option can be added or removed after it's started.

It can, took me a bit to find it but I edited Alex out at his request.

I didn't know about the 10 day thing, but I guess it doesn't really matter since I just included everyone.

 

[jdkilroy]

I would suggest removing my name. I've been focusing on my Taco these days and have not even been that active here. It was a well meant but unsolicited (or deserved) nomination.

Let's clean this list up a bit :thumb:

Ok, will do. Still love your truck...

 

[LTDSC]
