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, and 47-65 Willy's Wagons, XJ Cherokees, ZJ Grand Cherokees, along with newer "big" jeeps. The good news is that the style of the magazine hasn’t changed much. It’s still done with a nod towards fun. The idea of sometimes you have to make the part not just buy it. And real world feature trucks.
Issue #22 is the first in the transition. Again it’s a nice issue that seems done from the heart not for the advertiser. Project J4X is one mans quest to build a 4-door, short box, 1-ton AMC. The article is well written and fun to read. A couple of XJ/ZJ features and Part 5 of a LT-1 engine swap into a FS Waggy. Throw in some nice tech answers, readers rides and some trail fun and you have a magazine that is growing up.
