na360rt,

Just thought I throw in that I seriously think you have the best looking dak I've ever seen..I'm a lil partial to rc's due to owning one myself you have it set up perfectly...the height, color, body kit, everything about it. that first picture you have posted looks like it should be on the cover of a magazine.

yet at the same time I like that fact that you didn't go overboard like a lot of other people do when customizing..I like the fact you kept the r/t wheels (an r/t just isn't an r/t without the stock rims imho) perfect truck man..good job
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

 

[rtgrouchman]

Man this is tough!......Might have to think about this for a couple days. Good luck guys! They're all nice trucks! :biggthump

I just wanna say thanks for that. That means a lot to me. Mostly because I don't do this work on my truck for other people to judge, which is why it such an honor to even be nominated. I'm one of those guys who don't ask for other people's opinions when doing mods. I do my own research and come up with what i think looks nice, and then start putting it together. In my case, I like to maintain a stock, yet expensive look. Not so much a "custom" look.

Anyhow, sorry about the pics guys, I know the first one is very nice (it was my "award winning" picture over two years ago). So it's a little outdated. Some things have changed since then. I wish I had the time and weather to go out and get you all some nice pics to gawk at. Anyhow, Darren is in the process of making me some custom visors (I should have them next week), so its ironic I have to go up against him this month, haha.

Either way the voting goes, thanks again for the nominations guys, means a lot to me. And thanks for the votes in advance.

Steve R/T, Thanks for the compliment, I will surely remember that for a long time. It's nice to have your hard work appreciated every now and then.

 

[GOON'S D]

Aw man this is not fair!!!!! ))redR/T is one of the nicest Dakotas I have ever seen but BlackDak's transformation inrecent months has been awesome!!! WTF!!!!! :cussing: :redx:

[BlackDak]

Well, if I am gonna get beat again(!) I'd at least want it to be one of these trucks!

00RedRT, you have the sickest truck I have ever seen. The attention to detail, all the painted parts, the stance, hell even the bed, is gorgeous!

Thank you! That's very kind of you to say. But don't sell yourself short. That's a wicked black QC and very worthy to be TOM as well. In fact my good buddy has one sweet black QC so I'm use to standing next to another one. :biggthump

 

[BlackDak]

Yeah, but it's my truck, and I guess I am used to it!

 

[TattooedCarrot]

Some nice trucks here, but I gotta say that red one is just tits :bow:

sorry jeremy.....but i have to agree
every detail is my future goal :drool: :drool: :help:

 

[BlackDak]

Not saying I wouldn't love to win and all, but I am surprised his truck hasn't already been a TOM!

 

[na360rt]

haha, that's funny you mention that, June of '04 I believe, he was TOM. Just goes to show you how damn famous that truck is within the Dakota community. Props to Darren :biggthump
