How far can you modify/change a Jeep before it ceases to be a Jeep? This question comes to mind every time I pick up a magazine or browse the web. Jeep people(Jeepers?) are a die-hard, loyal bunch. They believe that the Jeep, in it’s many forms, is the #1 off-road vehicle in the world. All other makes are fighting for a distant second. We’ve all read the bumper sticker, It’s a Jeep thing you

The Spring 2007 issue of Jeep Junkie is the second since the overhaul of FSJ(Full-size Jeep Magazine). It’s still done with a sense of humor and geared toward the average Jeeper who doesn’t have millions of dollars to spend.The cover Jeep is a Grand Cherokee that started off as a 2wd grocery getter and has turned into a very capable trail only tube ZJ.

There was a time when you could buy a Deuce coupe for $50. Then it went to $500. Then $5000 and so on. Eventually you had to pay stupid prices for any kind of Deuce. It didn’t matter if it was held together with rust, you still had to pay big bucks. The industry noticed and soon came the fiberglass body. Cheaper, no rust to fix and you didn’t have to pay ‘real Deuce’ prices. Then the purists

You got it. Want rocks? You got it! Want sand? You got it! Want quads, trucks, buggies, sandrails, dirt bikes? You got it!

Every rod builder has, at one time or another, tried to paint their car. Some come out pristine, some not so much. The June 2007 Rod and Custom covers some paint topics that aren’t normally covered.The Spade Brothers show how to flake out a ‘32 Ford. From basecoat to clear, everything is covered. And it turns out very nice. They can come over and spray my sedan when I’m ready! There is an article

If your building a truck, be it for towing or the trail, it’s nice to have a pair of tough axles under your rig. The May 2007 Four Wheeler’s shows you how to do just that.

Robert Williams’s artwork is a lot like his career. If you just glance at the surface, you’ll see something colorful and interesting. But if you look closer, you’ll see so many details and nuances that weren’t readily apparent. Quite a few people just think of Robert Williams as a hot rod artist. What they don’t know is that he’s also a real hot rodder. The Hot Rod World of Robt. Williams is a

Spurred on by the major publications and tv coverage, rockcrawling has been growing and growing. So it’s safe to say, that someone would start a magazine dedicated solely to hardcore rockcrawling. Crawl magazine claims it to be ‘the most hardcore off-road magazine in the world’.

Hot Rod Showcase is a brand new, limited run(3000) publication that covers traditional style hot rods. The first issue is a standout. Beautiful photography is the big calling card of Hot Rod Showcase. It’s a joy to the eyes. It lets you experience the cars, not just look at them.Now, you can take as many good photos as you’d like but if the subject material isn’t up to snuff it really doesn’t

Now you can’t even get a mention unless your engine is putting out over 450 and that’s a beautiful thing. Chevy, Ford and Mopar all have something up their sleeve.

You might think by reading the major 4x4 magazines that the world was covered in rock. The vast majority of coverage has something to do with rock. You might believe that if you didn’t crawl you weren’t actually ‘wheelin’. Well I’m here to tell you that the earth is indeed covered by something equally as fun. Mud.The May ‘07 issue of Four Wheel and Off-Road magazine has a huge mud tire test.

Some magazines seem to be put out to please the advertisers and to make money. Gearhead is not one of those magazines. Having been around for thirteen years, Gearhead has carved out its own unique niche in the hot rod magazine genre.Issue #15's main feature is coverage of the Choppers Burbank car club’s trip to Japan.

With the chopper craze of the early 00's came a slew of new builders. Most sucked but somebody had to cover every Tom, Dick and Harry that used the word chopper in it’s business name. So came quite a few new magazines, tv shows(God help us) and the like. But one magazine came along that had been there before, Street Chopper.The March/2007 issue has a beautiful tribute shovel built in honor of the

It goes to reason that if you read a certain type of magazine, be it car, bike, or otherwise you just might have one sitting in your driveway or garage. But since you’re not an automotive bigwig, racer, builder, etc. your probably not going to get in a magazine.Well Four Wheel and Off-Road, like most magazines, have a readers rides section every month that features a small number of cool trucks.

Traditional Rod and Kulture just keeps getting better. Somehow they always seem to feature the cool cars that some of the bigger magazines overlook.

Not to sound redundant but The Rodder’s Journal is the best hot rod/custom magazine going. To call it a magazine is a bit of a disservice. As the name implies, it is a journal. But it is so much more. And lately you’re getting more bang your buck. TRJ has been $12.95 since it began now each issue keeps getting bigger and the price is staying the same. Issue #34 is a robust 200 glossy pages. You

Everyone loves a hot rod story. Whether it’s about the big street race or picking up a cute girl, it’s always a fun read. Hot rod tales bring us back to a so-called simpler time. You were young, no house payment, no kids, just you and your car. It didn’t matter where you lived. We all had the same experiences.Roger Jetter grew up in Iowa. Not the first state that one would think of when it comes

Ahh, the Rodder’s Journal. When you get a new issue in your hands it’s like the moment you held your first born. You were teary eyed, excited and full of anticipation. Or maybe it’s like Christmas morning and you see all the packages under the tree. You can’t wait to tear into the biggest one. Or maybe it’s like your first sexual experience... ok I won’t go there.But The Rodder’s Journal is such

I opened up the mail and lo and behold some Weesner art stared at me from the cover of Issue #12 of Dice. Now that’s the way to start off a magazine! Issue #12 is a bit thicker and that can only be a good thing.More choppers, more choppers and more choppers. As if God reached down and touched the editors. Well something touched them. I’m not sure what. Bill Mize’s Pan is beautiful. I really don’t

I thought I knew what cool was. I was wrong. Dice is cool and all else sucks. Dice is a ‘pocket’ size mag that covers mostly choppers. Real choppers, no OCC crap. No live to ride, leather chap wearing weekend warriors. This is the real deal.Tim O’Keefe’s rigid is stunningly beautiful. A flaked and scalloped wonder of the world. What some may call a dream bike. It’s in my dreams at least. Nick

CK Deluxe is the sister magazine to Ol’ Skool Rodz. Oddly enough they seem to cover the same subject material, cool cars, the occasional motorcycle and hot pin-ups. Which to say isn’t a bad thing, but do we need two magazines covering the same thing?This issue has event coverage of the 7th annual Rat Fink party, the Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield, CA and the Ducktail Run in Gas City, IN.

If it’s not in this book, it’s probably not worth talking about. Seriously, this book is the treasure trove of drag racing. Great photos, great captions and more history than you can shake a stick at. Who’s in this? Stone, Woods and Cook, Ohio George, Grumpy Jenkins, Sox and Martin, Gene Snow, Big Daddy Don Garlits, Tommy Ivo, Shirley Muldowney, Wild Willie Borsch, Arnie Beswick, Jungle Jim, Jack

Some people love racing for the competition. Some for the speed. Some for the sounds. But there is a hell of a lot of people who go for the crashes. Hell who doesn’t love some good carnage. I know I do! Drag racing has its share of fender benders. Stockers clipping the wall and the occasional Pro Stock flipping on the top end. But when in the earlier days of drag racing you had stock blocks,

Vintage Musclecars and factory racers is what the cover says and it delivers. Copo Camaros, hemi Chargers, AWB Merc’s are all included in coverage of The Forge Invitational Musclecar Show in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Seriously if the AWB Mercury doesn’t get you going, check your pulse.Of course as in every issue of Car Craft there are loads of good tech(550hp Gen III 6.0L, New Victor heads for your

Once in a while a ‘zine comes along that moves you. A ‘zine that is more than what you see. This is one of those magazines. Actually to call it a magazine would be slightly wrong. This is actually a ‘photozine’. A couple of words a page, one ad and a whole lot of soul.Created by Coby Gewertz, Church is a brand that transcends words.

Full-size Jeeps never got much love from the larger 4x4 media. I don’t know why. They were big, solid and easy to work on. So a little magazine called FSJ came about. It covered all things FSJ(full-size jeep). But alas the market wasn’t big enough and FSJ became Jeep Junkie. Now they cover 63-83 Wagoneers, 84-92 Grand Wagoneers, 74-83 Cherokees, 63-87 J-Series Trucks, M-Series Military Trucks,

Having a lifted ‘91Cherokee myself I was very interested in this book. It covers everything you wanted to know about your XJ(Cherokee to the layman) from lift, axles, tires to protection. The author has a nice tone and explains things very well. Since he has an XJ himself, he writes from experience.The book starts with a basic look at the XJ platform and moves through mods that most people want

If you don't know who Tom Fritz is, please get out from under that rock. Tom is licensed by Harley-Davidson, and has been featured in The Robb Report Collection, American Iron, Easyriders -- just about every other big magazine in the free world. And rightfully so. His work just hints at what 's there. It's not about getting every letter on each tire correct. It's the emotion that it represents.
