2022 Build-Off VOTE!

Lets congratulate our Finalist:

• @Brianator - Mud Duck
  
• @Mightyraze - Dirty Rat
  
• @RCG - Sears Racing
  
• @MN mudder - Horse N Around
  
  

These ATLTF.COM Members have worked hard all year to get to this point! 

While he has more that he wants to do with this epic build, @Brianator has worked hard even though he has stretched himself a little thin this year on multiple projects!  Here is his build-off entry:

Check out his build thread!!!

Brianator's "Mud Duck"- Tractor Recovery Rig/Mudder

 



Up next is...

Talk about a ride with this one.  I've followed it all year and seen @RCG turn this build into a more and more stable speed demon down the dirt drags!  I see Neil making many more updates as this build matures next year.  I don't think I'd want to tangle with him on the dirt drags!

Check out his build thread!!!

RCG Sear Racing

Up next is . . .

This is a build @MightyRaze has wanted to build for a long time.  This build has molded itself into a mean capable on and off-road SEARS machine.  It may have a minor identity crisis with some Murray parts; don't get me wrong.  They were the best ones Murray had to offer!

Check out his build thread!!!

MightyRaze's - Dirty Rat

And now . . .

The King of Procrastination, @MN mudder is well on his way to completing his Pullin Horse "Horse N Around".  At this point it is qualified to be in the build-off vote.  MN Mudder just needs a few things to start pulling.

Check out his build!!!

MN MUDDER HORSE N AROUND

Voted I'm a fan of oddballs so Duck gets my vote!

Great work everybody! Tough choice lol.

Very tough choice, but good luck everyone!

Voted for the duck, they are all of cool rigs though, nice work everyone

Social media hasn't been kind with my trying to publicize the build-off this year. I've tried to get some old members to at least stop by. Only a couple views on the ATLTF FB page. All the other groups or pages I got nothing, no comments or likes and even an outright decline and delete of post in one group.

What a jerk move! (Not you). Stupid social media snobs.

Agreed. Not on Facebook though. Outside this forum and YouTube my only internet presence is quora. I’m behind the times….

I think I have exhausted all means of getting the word out there I can.

Thanks to all those who voted!

Looks like your campaign worked, you're up 6 votes since last night! Lol

One more week!

Voted!!!!!

Yup there are several of the groups. I do not even post to at this point. If you build with more then just bolt on parts the player hater admins delete the post. My latest EMT exhaust video got declined or deleted from 4 out of the 6 groups other then my own for mud mowers. It's why I almost never post to anything other then my own open group and Sprockets Garage.

EDIT: I think it is also why my Maine Mud Mower Group has had an increase in people joining the last 6 months.

Did you say anything on the altlf discord? I didn't see anything there so not sure if anyone knows about the vote

No, go ahead. Not a fan of it.  Some there don't care about the forum itself anyway.

I did send out a message to all members, unless you chose not to get notifications or it goes to your spam.  I know Doug was only allowing members to join the discord.

I went ahead and posted.

My notifications dump to trash bc the site sends me 50 a day so I would imagine most other people are the same

Then there are the people that just don't want or care to vote.

There have been 38 members log into the site since the build-of vote started.  I know the first 5 people that logged in DID vote.  From there it's a guessing game.

38 different member visits / only 24 votes. (I'll be honest, i still have my vote held off.  Maybe some others too?)

Then there are a handful of those that think the b/o is a stupid pointless waste of time and don't bother with any aspect of it.  They are some of the people that make it hard to continue the B/O especially since they have large social media followings.  I'll be honest.  That steals most of our (my) thunder as I see it out there.  I try to have some presence in the A-TLT community being an Admin of ATLTF.COM.

Also, only about 6%-8% of those that log in monthly even contribute to the site in posts/content.  Enough of that, it just leads to a deeper darker hole.  

I'm pretty excited that 24 people have voted in the first week.  I honestly figured for 15-17 votes total.  This makes me happy.

I done did my civic duty.

Congrats to all the finishers, very cool builds.



making guys like me look bad.

I know, I know

Wonder if we can make 30 votes! Maybe even 35? Or is that pushing it.

Sounds doable especially with the weekend coming up!

We can hope! I know we can get to 29 with 100% certainty.

I'm proud to have semi-finished the build! good luck to everyone!
