February 2012 Ranger of the month nominations

Welcome to Ranger Forum, Ranger of the Month contest!

Here's how it works:

During the first 15 days of the month members can nominate their truck, or someone else's truck, into the "Ranger of the Month" thread for that particular month. On the 16th of the month, the administrators & Moderators will choose up to three (3) trucks that will be officially entered in to that month's contest and members can vote upon which of the three they think should be truck of the month.

The administrators and or Moderators will create a thread that will allow members to vote for one of the three (3) entries. At the end of the month, the truck that has the most votes is the truck of the Month!

Here is what information that needs to be entered for each truck (if you do not have all this information, you must get it before the truck is officially entered):
