CJ-8.com Gift membership giveaway - current members nominate folks

We were gifted a year's paid membership to the forum by a current member!

I thought a cool way to give it away would be to have current paid members nominate a free user who's been helpful, done something good, contributed positively to the site or somehow otherwise made themselves worthy.

Let's have this go through this weekend, 1/7. Nominate away! :smokin:
 
hmmmm, what about... tell me why you think you should receive this free membership?

I know there are a lot of deserving people... but it would be a fun interview process.

Did that before and got little response. Open to it if people will actually post their reason.
 
I would nominate myself as an ambitious Jeeper anxious to share the journey of restoring his first CJ-8 with the excellent critique and guidance of a supremely knowledgeable board of seemingly stand-up fellow Jeepers that are far more involved in the art of keeping CJ's alive than the bickering present in most other forums. However.....the biggest reason for membership, other than supporting this awesome forum, is for pictures, and I'm still a good way from having any progress worth photographing.

Therefore, I nominate Shark Bait. He has a sweet CK-8 build going on, seems very attention detailed, and JK's are a pretty awesome donor for vastly improved underpinnings to the coolest sheet metal Jeep ever produced (being the CJ-8, for clarity). I noticed he mentioned issues with posting pictures, so maybe a membership would help rekindle his thread by both allowing some picture hosting options and showing our interest in his project.

I'll admit, I'm too new here to know of many candidates off hand, and have mainly lurked through many long term and life members builds thus far. So, that's my $0.02...for whatever the exchange rate is.

My first thought was MrBeep for putting SANDBLAST together every year. :bacon:......but he's already a vendor, so I'm not sure if it would apply

The other one is Bigwalton for ALL and EVERTHING he does here on the forum :bacon:

LOL, thanks. Toby was a lifetime member before a vendor, so no, it wouldn't apply. I also don't need it, I know people ;)
 
We were gifted another year's membership, so we'll up this to two total.

Let's get more nominations, either yourself or someone else and we'll extend this a week to 1/14. :smokin:
 
I nominate AK-RWC and PetesCj-8. Both are long time legacy users and contribute quite often.
 
This is hard. There have been many that have contributed and provided priceless info through the years. I know I would sure appreciate a free membership but I don't feel I've contributed enough. Hopefully my LS to ax15 swap helped some out. I couldn't really find any good info out there on the subject so I thought I'd be the guinea pig. Lol. I do agree with polarfire on his suggestions. The Alaskan dude and Pete have both been awesome.

I would be appreciative of that but I am the first to admit there are others that contribute more than myself. I have a boatload of pics and I need to take the time to do a paid membership I guess. I do not use any of the sites for picture sharing, so, that'll be the only way I get em on here.

Thanks Jeff Much appreciated. Big thanks to you for the 2-track ride every year. That has become a very big part of Sand Blast. :wave:
 
Late in posting, but I decided to put Ron84cj, 93_Fummins, AK-RWC and PetesCj-8 in a hat and drew two names.

Congrats to PetesCJ-8 and 93_Fummins! :woot:

Wow, I didn't see that coming. Thanks! I will try to put it to good use. This is a great site, with great people. I've already had good dealings with some of the members, and have learned a lot combing through the threads. Hopefully I can start making some headway on my '82 soon and show off the fruits of my labor!

Thanks again! :woot:
 
Thanks guys I appreciate it. Always enjoy stopping by this site. Great people and a ton of knowledge here. Been busy with work the last two months but it's starting to slow down a little. Look forward to spending a little more time here again. :woohoo:
