Hey guys, Friday is ORTB's 2nd Birthday.

We're going to do the same sort of contest we did last year, just to have a bit of fun.

We're looking for good pictures of your vehicles. The picture should be taken of the side of the vehicle, to mimic the ORTB logo.

If your photo is chosen as the winner of the contest, your truck's image will take place of the standard ORTB logo image for a couple weeks.

Some of the site vendors have also stepped up with some cool prizes:

  • OregTrailBlazin (Wheeler's Off Road) - Giving away a 20' recovery strap, and two 3/4" shackles!
    Image
  • BartonMD (MDB Fabrication) - $50 off of each skid and a bumper. (i.e. if somebody wants all 3, they get $150 off the total price...)
    Image

Image requirements:
  • In focus
  • Picture taken directly from the side
  • Entire vehicle in the picture
  • Dirtier the better

Good luck and let the submissions begin. Deadline for submissions is Sept 28th.

Do you want pics of the truck just sitting there, or action shots, or what?

I'm confused. :scratch:

to mimic the ORTB logo.



Note the ORTB logo features trucks just sitting there from the side.

Just sayin...

:idea:

I think maybe we should have a secondary contest to see who can get the muddiest truck being washed at a high school cheerleader prep squad fundraiser. ;)

edit: I bet Roadie already thought of this one a while back.
