ORTB's First Birthday Contest

[Philberto]

Driving through a decent-sized puddle will do that.

My rims are dirty too, just not my sidewalls. Ill be honest, theres a car wash by me that i went to because they have an undercarriage wash too so theyre my choice. The guy that usually washes my truck knows not to use tireshine (they have the brush on one) but he wasnt there so the other guy slapped it on. I was upset and yelled at him, but the more i yelled the more it dripped down my tire so there was nothing to do about it. The shine has since worn off but its still protecting the tires and it seems its a pretty good product, plus once i get off the trail dripping wet i hit the highway to get home so it slings right off. Im going out a little later again so hopefully ill be able to loose some of that protection

[janesy86]

Hopefully going out tomorrow and I'll be able to get a nice and muddy pic, as long as hurricane Earl passes by... Otherwise I'll put this in for now...

Nice Nick!! Looks like a spitting image of our logo!

Yeah I did notice the rims were dirty. I thought it might have been from tire shine because I have seen that stuff here just dry out the tires quicker.

Hell, with as few submissions as we've had, I might as well throw a pic of my stock one up, with a little winter salt on it, and pick up 4th place...

Come on guys!

[irishboy02]

Just got home. Cain wait for the sun tomorrow to take som pics!!

[irishboy02]

Well, here is my submission..

[MrSmithsTB]

Might as well enter myself in the show. No a lot of mud around here as of late, and the stupid hurricane missed me. So, here is my submission:

[Trail X]

Whoah Brendan, that is some serious mud!! I don't even know how you did that!
Bob, I never said it had to be muddy just dirty!

Due to the lack of entries, I think we're going to have to extend this contest in order to get some submissions from the guys that are out on the trails too.

More submissions we must have!

[janesy86]

I think I'll be using this one!! Just got back from a fun trail ride... will post pics once I can get em loaded on the comp.

[MrSmithsTB]

Then consider mine a place holder. I have all day tomorrow to explore and find some great shots.

[DJones]

Here is my submission: from today, but not the muddiest I have been.

[djthumper]

Well no rain in sight, not the dirtiest shots since sand and dust doesn't show up very well on white. Mostly stock but here are some shots when I went on a trail run today.

[DmccartneyFF2TB]

No mods but figured id put my first pick up for you guys to see the beginning of something.

[fishsticks]

It's a day late and it's not exactly sideways, but here's my entry... and why it's cool.

After 2 days of the TB handling everything we thew at it, I blew my rear axle going up a black diamond obstacle on FB5. I blew a hole in the diff cover and lost all my gear lube. I got winched off one rock that I was hung up on, but still had power to my front and one rear wheel. So I finished off the rear climbing out under the truck's own power, snapping and popping the whole way. I got the "never give up" award for the day.

Here you go. This is right after I climbed out and lost the rear completely. It's a little blurry, so probably not the best for whatever you guy's are after, but at least I submitted.



Here's from the other side, I think it's a little clearer.




EDIT: Linked wrong second pic.

[Trail X]

Looks like this may be the last of the entries.

We'll discuss and announce a winner tomorrow.
You guys make it hard though! Thanks for the great submissions!

[Trail X]

Thanks again everyone for the submissions.

The team got together and picked out our favorite pictures that followed the guidelines given in the first post best.

Our finalists were:
janesy86, HARDTRAILZ, DJones and fishsticks (for blowing out his rear axle)

It came down to random drawing.

Congrats Janesy86!!
