Submit photos any time you like but the earlier the better, submissions start the 1st of the month, ish, until the last day of the month.
Photos can be resubmitted, community responce will let you know if you're flogging a dead horse.
More than one photo can be submitted by each member but in separate posts. Otherwise only the first image is counted, vote are cast by liking an image.

Please use your original work rather than images lifted from Facebook or other social media, its a bit cheeky to try and win a competition off the back of someone else ;)

Voting closes the last day of each month, when the winner will be announced.
In event of a tie the winner will be randomly chosen from the tiebreakers.
Winners get a 'Photo Contest Winner' banner on their account


Vote for as many images as you like, unvote or dont vote. It’s your call, votes are cast by liking an image.

If you think of any other rules that should be included then let me know.

Images may be used for the forum social media accounts and appropriately credited, if you do not wish for this to happen then please state that when submitting your image.

The winning submission will receive a $50 forum store credit as a not so grand prize.

A couple of shots from Death Valley last weekend. Nothing too technical but I did realize how 'non-optimal' the factory load E rating tires are for washboard. Very robust for everything else though!

Why does the tyre rating affect washboard performance, as we had other European owners have a small front radiator detach on that kind of driving, would that contribute?
I have no understanding of these things but keen to learn. I always change tyres with the same ratings to be safe not knowing what half the stuff means.

Hey CRH, The E load rating is equivalent to a 10-ply construction - so the sidewall becomes pretty stiff compared to B, C or even Standard on a lot of vehicles from the factory. The tire profile is by no means a small part of impact absorption and the overall feel of the truck, alongside its shocks and springs. Softer sidewalls give a softer ride on washboard at speed. Of course at the expense of robustness in rough terrain. Hadn't heard about the radiator detaching. Pretty sure mine is still there ;) but I'll look in to that more and check the bolts!
