Trail Head
For years I've wondered how the Jeeps and trucks I drive received such poor crash ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety IIHS . I mean, how is it even possible for a 5,000-pound 1 2-ton fullsize truck with a real frame and factory 33-inch tires to get a lower crash rating than a 1,800-pound tin can on 22-inch shopping cart wheels That's like telling me a .22 caliber pea shooter has more punch than a .50 caliber rifle Then it dawned on me that the people performing the test must...
The Affordable Winch Revie
In the Box Ya know, for 60 we bet somebody is gonna try it, so why not include it in this story The teeeeny Chicago 3K winch, available through Harbor Freight, is just small. So much so that we included a regular cordless household phone in our photo for scale. That said, the winch comes ready to bolt right to your ATV, er, Jeep. The 6-foot battery cables are already attached to the winch, which is already attached to the mounting plate, which is already attached to the super-cute teensy roller...

Hill Climbing Muck And Mayhem
There really is a '67 Jeepster in there. We had gotten info that if you stay to one side of the mud pit which went through this high grass it wasn't too deep. Adam Schultz was the first one to try the mud pit, in his relatively stock Jeepster. With no lift, a 225ci V-6, T-14, Dana 20, Dana 27 front axle and a Dana 30 rear axle, he might have bitten off more than his Jeep could chew, even by staying in the shallow part of the pit. The only departure from stock was the N78 Buckshot Mudders, and...

if you need to reposition in the middle of a recovery pull. Notes Engagement lever Allen head retaining screw only finger tight, but lever not wobbly Motor not wobbly or sloppy on drum Winch body not sloppy and solenoid mounting brackets pre-installed. Drum unwinding blows otherwise great setup Instructions very clear and include winching tips and exploded schematic with parts list. Bottom Line Good pulling power at a fair price, but the freespooling action when the clutch is disengaged is an...
Jeeptoberfest Strum
At the other end of the spectrum is this creation. We never did manage to get the owner's name though, because he was all over every obstacle that day. From the longest, steepest hill climb to mud-running to pulling other stuck Jeeps off of things, this thing did it all. Whether it was the Super Swamper Boggers, front and rear lockers, or the hammer-down driving that did it, this Jeep buggy was everywhere. A bunch of tube was added to a cut down, hacked up body and some air-shocks on a custom...
Mailbag
If my memory serves me right, I don't recall ever seeing an XJ adorn the cover of Jp magazine since I've been a subscriber way back in 1997. Back then Mr. Sandals himself Rick Pewe was at the helm. Remember him Anyhoo, it's nice to see you show us XJ guys some love and give us a cover shot. I got my Jeep back in 1996, a new XJ. It's still running strong with 95,000 miles on the clock and the 4.0L runs strong as ever still bothers me that Jeep scraped this workhorse . The magazine is going...
