dasbulliwagen Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Ive had a long standing subscription to Cycle world for about 10 years now, but I think I'm going to let it run out and was wondering what the best 4wd magazine is to get a sub to. I had a sub to Petersens 4wheel and off road a long friggin time ago when I was a kid and liked it, and when I had my Grand Wagoneer I would regularly buy JP, because they often did articles on Full size Jeeps. So at this point I just want to know which ones you guys recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Big Fan of JP. Trasborg actually has an MJ kicking around as a DD, and when they did their Jeep "$#!&box Derby" he was the only one who refused to shoot his Jeep. Rob :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I like JP because Trasborg is a buddy of mine and he has used pictures of my Jeeps in the magazine several times. There's even a shot of my butt in the door swap writeup. :) Rob, your new avatar is strangely mesmerizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, can you see if Trasborg would be interested in tagging along if we get into the Chrysler archives to see the Thunderchief? I've been emailing the curator of the archives... He just got back from vacation. Hopefully I hear from him shortly. Oh, and thank you. :D Now that I have numbed your brains with the incessant thrusting, you will now give me all your MJ's.

SW86 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 i have a sub to Petersens and Four Wheeler. have had for years. don't really like Four Wheeler so i think i won't get it anymore. never really liked JP either. picked it up a few times in stores killing time but didnt hold my interest. as i recall it had quite a few tech articles along with pics. so maybe I'm just selling it short. for me Petersens is the way to go. i like the people, articles and Whoops! at the back of the mag :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I get Jp magazine and Petersons. I think that Jp is WAY better. I have E-mailed Trasborg lots of times with questions and/or second opinions and he is always very helpful. I always find there articles very interesting and helpful. I find myself waiting every month for the new issue to come and end up reading the whole thing on the first day, then I'm stuck waiting again. Jp is the way to go. :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Nice, Rob. :D I'll let Pete know about it. Where is the Thunderchief located? I'm assuming Ohio or Michigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automan2164 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nice, Rob. :D I'll let Pete know about it. Where is the Thunderchief located? I'm assuming Ohio or Michigan? Outside Detroit. We all plan on going to Pete's as a group to help him button up his MJ's, then hit up the sights. Rob :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I have a subscription to Petersen's and don't like it too much. Too many photos, not enough text. Once my subscription runs out I'll try JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I get: Petersens Fourwheeler JP Crawl I like Petersens and JP best. Crawl is a very very nice mag but it has goofy tech and it is mostly buggy stuff but I like that too. Rick Pewe has wheeled with my club in the past and he is planning to come up hopefully this year or next to check out our new Grant in Aid ORV trail that the club built. So I'm kinda partial to his mag. I'm also addicted to the Ultimate Adventure Series. Love the humor in JP!! Fourwheeler has been a downhill slide for about 5 year IMO...I used to get 4 wheel and sport utility, I liked it but the sub ran out and I honestly never got around to renewing it. Also Diesel Power is a sweet mag if you are into diesels. I subscribe to DP and usually buy Diesel World which is very nice too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
