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. Waggy front axle, 8.8 rear axle, Aussie/ARB lockers and 37" Iroks round out a cool crawler. "Big J" is one killer J-20. How can’t it be with 39" Boggers(on the 8th day God created the bogger), spooled Dana 60 and a ‘67 body. My favorite this month is the "No-buck XJ", not because it’s the greatest Cherokee or because it has all the latest parts. Nope this is a truck anybody can build. It’s simple but effective. Oh yeah, it’s also MY TRUCK! It’s looks a little different now but I still love it.
Project Bargain Beater gets brake upgrades and steering upgrades this month. The Cheap Distributor swap covers everything you wanted to know about AMC ignitions. Want to know how to install a digital dash? It’s covered. XJ fender flares on a FSJ? Read and find out how.
A couple of runs are covered, the 2007 Snowball Fun Run in New Jersey(no snow, doesn’t that suck) and a NAXJA run on the Rubicon.
