Default 2013 3rd Gen Dakota Calendar

Do you guys want to try and get one together for this year?

Unfortunately last years calendar didn't work out.

The poll will be up for 7 days.

I would be happy to submit a pic of my truck, would give me a good reason to detail the heck out of her before winter comes. If so would the calendar be like one main pic and a few smaller ones on the side of any detail work like engine bay, stereo, custom paint etc?

We need some women though. Every truck needs a woman in something skin baring laying on the hood.

Well, it's looking like we can give this a try so far. Here's how I propose we do it.

  • Each member submits one (1) picture, preferably shot within the last year. There were some good submissions from the 2012 calendar that didn't get completed. I really don't want to see any pictures older than that, especially that were in any previous calendars. The one picture submission is necessary because:
  1. It will open up the calendar to include more members in the calendar.
  2. Submission of two pictures usually will split your votes and you may not have enough to make the cut.
  3. It's getting late and we really don't have time to do multiple voting threads.
  • There will be one picture per month on the calendar.
  • If we don't get 12 submissions by the cutoff date (yet to be determined), each member who submitted a picture by the date will submit an additional picture. We can vote on those 2nd picture submissions to see who will get an additional month in the calendar. Hopefully this doesn't happen, and I would like everyone to submit a picture.
  • Do not submit pictures in this thread, there will be a new thread for that. Pictures have to be emailed for this to work.
And just a tip, a calendar pretty much has a square picture, so:
  • Cropped pictures, like Example A, do not really work.
  • Widescreen pictures (16:9), like Example B, either have to be cropped (to avoid a blank space on the top and bottom of your month), or printed with the blank areas on the calendar, so they are not ideal either.
  • A square picture (4:3), Example C, is perfect for the calendar.
Example A


Example B




Example C
