I dont know if this has ever been done before but i would like to see a calendar with the totm trucks used as the months. Maybe if this could be possible we could make this happen id like to get one my walls are kinda plain...

SUPER idea!!!

thanks now lets get this in gear

Hard/expensive where I am haha. Maybe the US has more options.

The only thing to be careful of is using copyrighted items on things you sell, as other sites have run into legal issues after doing this as they did not ask permission first. I think you would have to get the permission from Ford in order to use the Ranger name and likenesses of the Rangers, even though they are privately owned vehicles.

i think thats a great idea if you can do it legally

i think we should only do it if i make it on truc of the month lol.

Good idea, but if I contribute, my junk better be July.

I'd buy one...

So how do we get intouch with FORD

Contact Ford (http://www.ford.com/owner-services/customer-support/contact-ford)

Im a designer i could help out with that.

the only thing you would need to get in motion is the original source photos of the totm's
the pictures online aren't print quality only web quality

Would ford really be a pain with that?
how can the truckin mags put out calendars without problems?

Here's a thread I came across when looking for the BMC thread that already addressed the Ford rights thing (but couldn't find it)

http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/showthread.php?t=224733

Here's some info about the BMC calendar issue (http://www.bmcforums.com/showthread.php?t=42402) and Ford's response explaining things:

My name is Whitney Drake and I work in Ford Communications.
We've been watching this discussion with interest and I'd like to
clarify what is essentially a misunderstanding.

Yesterday we spoke to both Cafe Press and the Black Mustang Club
and explained the situation (about the Black Mustang Club’s calendar) to everyone's satisfaction. Ford has no problem with Mustang or other car owners taking pictures of their vehicles for use in club materials like calendars. What we do have an issue with are individuals using Ford’s logo and other trademarks for products they intend to sell. Understandably, we have to take the protection of our brands and licensing very seriously.

Ford did not send the Black Mustang Club a “cease and desist” letter telling them that they could not use images of their own cars in their calendar. The decision not to allow the calendars to be printed was made by Cafe Press, because we had gotten in touch with them in the past about trademark infringements on products they sold.

The Black Mustang Club, and any other Ford enthusiast club, are free to take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials as long as they don't use Ford trademarks in products that will be sold.

I think it is great that the Black Mustang Club, and any other enthusiast club, would take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials.

I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy to hang in the garage next
to my Mustang (even if mine isn't black).

Thanks for giving us the chance to have our say.

thanks dross if i can get a email from a admin i'll call tomorrow and talk to someone and see if they'll email the admin and let them know its ok to go ahead with this.

Will the RPS Calender give me database errors everytime I try to see what date it is?

Ok guys im getting a rps sample calender tomorrow. Iv been working on onefor the past 4 days getting the pics of trucks im using the trucks are well deserved trucks either they were totm or they are future totm. I used lifted and lowerd. and i tried to find one of each generation ranger. Now my question is. I can get calenders made, but the chepeset one is 20.00 for the calender. Now i'll find out about shipping today after i leave school. I wanna know is if you wanna pay 20.00 for a 8.5x11 pic its not a full pic on the calender. It has a gray background trim behind the pic, it will also feature the month and the screen name of the owner, under the month. Or do you wanna pay 10.00
more dollars and get a full picture. Its up to you guys. Im getting a sample calender tomorrow and i will post pics of it tomorrow. Each truck on each month to show u what it looks like. For the front cover im using the flamed rps logo on the top left corner of the site.

Wow, 20 bucks for a 8.5x11 calendar? Hate to say it, but thats just too expensive for me to pay, just for a calendar.

x2! I might would consider if it were maybe 5 or 10 max.

Oh, god I'm just sitting here chuckling uncontrollably.

I'm up for calenders, but that is alot of money for a calender. Are there any other sites or any other place to get them printed for cheaper? I know when I used to live in Maysville there was a Standard Quick Print that would print thigs like that reasonably cheap.

Yeah, $20 is a lil much just for the calendar. Maybe, if it was $20 shipped I would go for it.

Put me down for a calendar, I'm in Canada.

aight guys i'll look around. On some prices.

i am up for a calander, sounds like a good idea.

Ok found another site. Vistaprint.com I can get a 8.5x11 for 8.00 plus shipping. Shipping shouldnt be but 5.00 i could use the folding envelopes usps uses for shipping.

Thats awesome, after Christmas I could pick up a couple, 1 for work and 1 for the garage.

Ok now how im gonna do this. I'll set up a order thread in a few weeks. And people can send me the money, and i can pay for them that way or i can order however many and then you can send me the money paypal or money order. And when i receive ur payment i'll send the calender. So just to mak sure everyone knows I will not scam anyone. I wont be making any money off these. Im doing this for us the members to have a calender of some well deserving trucks.

10 bucks says he put his own truck in the calendar haha

10 bucks says he put his own truck in the calendar haha

I would if it was totm worthy but its not. And i want ppl to buy a calender. No but i did use 6 lowerd and 6 lifted.

10 bucks says he put his own truck in the calendar haha

Does anyone have a higher resolution of the flammed rps logo at the top left corner. IM using that as the front cover. I need atleast 2200x2200 or a 2.17 kb

im sure i would also just not as a totm like the calendars original design(if all the other months where totm) but im sure theres somewhere it would go....maybe a back page givn thanks to the people that brought it together...but then again my time isnt free so i would have to make a buck..:tongue

like i said most of the trucks on here are totm or totm worthy. I honestly wish people would grow up on this site and not bash each other. You must have some free time, you sign on rps dont u?

so someone else has noticed...:givemebee im sure its just a matter of time... thanks, if you chose to do business thats you but for me im not.

is it honestly anyones ****ing buissness why i change my s/n

If you wanna do the calendar, do it. If not, don't. Could we all just stop fighting about stupid senseless bs and get along?

I agree, if you don't want to buy a calender than don't, if ya do than buy one.

easiest way to get people to stop saying anything is to just post a small pick of the trucks you chose. That simplifies it..

Shoot I'll be the first to admit when I did the photoshop for the t-shirt design one of them was my truck. Of course the one major reason was because I had already done the line drawing of it and didn't have to rework the whole thing..

I agree, if you don't want to buy a calender than don't, if ya do than buy one.

i thought it was a great idea just i would want to buy from a creditable seller...that actually finishes a project they start.i like to know where my money is going.

Ok here is the trucks i chose to have on the calender. If your still not satisfied then go cry to ya momma. This is how the calender will be printed out in order as followed.

Get a high quality pic of beards (zachs) truck, cuz that pic is badass.

that pic was taken from a video so he may not be able to get a better quality one

i'd sure like a callender! 10-13 bucks would be fine.
we had t-shirts here? i though i seen something about them a while ago. that would be cool too

thanks for the heads up. i just ordered 2 t-shirts. i hope it worked though. it was my first time using paypal...

i wish i knew bout the calendar :(
i would have put a nice pic in there :D

You said that u were going to do 6 and 6.... why 5 and 7?!?!?!?!

Also, Wheat needs a better pic than that. I wouldn't buy that picture.

December, August and February are the 3 least calendar worthy pictures IMO.

im so sick of people complaining if you dont want a calender then dont comment. I need to find a few more lifted trucks. Its hard to find lifted active members.

He is simply making observations about your calendar and how to make it more "sell-worthy" (higher res-pics, etc), its just constructive criticism, and its the internet, don't take things so seriously that you start to get angry about them... So maybe he made a comment you didn't like? Just shrug it off and keep on truckin'.

The high res pics look good on the calendar, and I think you picked some really good trucks for the calendar. Keep it up.

x2 million!!!! Like I said earlier, if you wanna buy one, good for you. If you don't, good for you too. Just quit the whining and bickering and be like Nike..."Just Do It".

Whew, I should have said that the other 8 pictures you selected where VERY calendar worthy.
Honestly though, I will be watching this, I'd be interested in one. One the back page you should do a collage of a lot of members trucks. like a 1"x1" thumbnail of each. That'd be pretty baller, then we all could say our trucks made it in the calendar!

HA HA! My truck isn't nearly as close to being calendar worthy, but it would be pretty cool. :E

would ya'll be willing to loose a month for a really nice calender, or can i have all year to get 2011 calenders. I can really get a nice calender for 2011. What do ya'll think? shall we have a voting poll in the off topic?

I can say that even with a picture of my '90 in it, I wouldn't buy it.

y not

I don't really use a calendar, if I did, I wouldn't spend more that much on it. I've never liked anything I've seen in person from cafe express, and some of the pictures aren't high quality enough for a $10-20 calendar.

Not being a dick about it, just answering your question.

Ok found another site. Vistaprint.com I can get a 8.5x11 for 8.00 plus shipping. Shipping shouldnt be but 5.00 i could use the folding envelopes usps uses for shipping.

Ok this is for all u guys who may have not seen this post. If your not happy with this price then i dont know what to do. So are we gonna take a vote on 2010 calenders or 2011 calenders.

Did that make you feel cool? Unnecessary IMO.

just tired of something cool coming up and then not going anywhere...and how would my "coolness" status be affected,

and what is unnecessary in my opinion is starting a topic getting everyone interested then abandoning it...but thanks for your input.

and dont u want your truck in there as promised.....all im sayin is im sure im not the only person wanting updates. besides its been a month with no updates...

sounds like the same thing that happened with T-shirts, he got all excited about it and then backed out. Luckily RockntheHawk stepped up and took over for him on that one.

Now this post makes more sence than the Fail Jesture. Yea, i would like to get the Calender goin too.

I think the "fail" comments were a little strong but I tend to agree that he did drop the ball on the shirts, so it's kind of likely that this was going to be dropped. He may have just been busy or whatnot, but all he had to do was post that he was and would get back to us about it. I also, wouldn't mind a calendar (just not for a huge chunk of money).

An update would be nice. Hopefully we can get somewhere here. I'd buy one. Maybe even three. AND, my trucks not even in it.
