    I feel like an asshole even posting this comment but I have to...

    JDM's truck is awesome, NO DOUBT, that thing is clean, and he (take this as a compliment if you're reading this JDM) clearly has some photography skills, I do some photography myself and I really like the ones you've taken of your truck, the shallow focus depth is fantastic looking...

    All that being said, the truck has been detailed beyond belief and had amazing pictures taken of it...

    Are we voting on who can take the best and most artistic pictures of the most recently detailed lightly modded truck? or are supposed to be voting on the best truck customization-wise?

    I know "best" is purely what each person likes. But maybe there needs to be a different competition that is for photography specifically... I realize its tough to differentiate because when you see sweet pictures of JDM's ride it looks amazing and makes you say "wow." but if you saw it in person sitting inbetween Krookz and Blackhawke, which rigs are you gonna notice as being custom....

    JDM, your truck is legit, and I'll finish by saying it's way nicer than mine haha so I really hope you don't take offense, again I just feel like this competition has swayed towards people voting on the pictures rather than the trucks... I've been noticing this through some of the earlier rounds with other trucks but now that its getting down to the wire I had to vent!

    i believe its everyones personal opinion.

    IMO i love clean trcuks not over done and weird "creative" mods.

    thats why i voted for JDM and i voted for blackhawke for two reasons. he made me an awesome avatar once. and im a sucker for LT :p

    No offense taken, at all.

    I agree with your points, and I honestly did not think I would make it out of the first few rounds with what I have done with my truck. As I've said in a previous round, my truck is my DD, my transportation to and from work, and I have to keep it sensible / lightly modded. Some guys have my dream setup (blackhawke), while I have a 3" lift, rims and wheels, and a grill. I originally entered the contest just to get the ball rolling (I am in charge of it :p) but yeah...never thought I'd get this far. I think a lot of it has to do with the pictures and the fact that it looks like a clean truck, some crap out of a magazine...haha.

    That being said, I'm not in this to win it. I do think there are other rigs in here that are wayyy sweeter than mine, one that would garner more attention in person, as you said. If I could, I would take pictures of everyone's entries myself, just to even the playing field.

    Thanks Jake :thumbsup:

    And just to reiterate, your truck is CLEAN and I really like it (your FJ wheels, whatever edition they are, are my favorite part)

    Great work on the contest. Good luck to everybody still in it!

    So hard to choose, but I picked Aaron and Daniel.

    This competition is rigged, my favorite truck on this site didn't make it out of the first round. :laugh:

    Ooohhh I just tied it up. +1 for Krookz.

    Its hard to judge the trucks rather than the quality of the pictures haha. Everyone has real creative shots, and awesome trucks. Krookz is just more my style.
