Hey All,

I know there are Cherokee Magazines out there, but how many of my Jeep Cherokee Forum friends would follow mine? Just asking...Thought about this for over two years now. :-)

 

I would, my friend!

 

Make that x2!

 

Nice to know!!! It's been a off and on thing. But I'm more knowledgeable about Cherokee than I have been in my whole life. My Mom & Grandma think I should...I want to as well...But where to start!!? :-) I have opened a biiig project now...:-D

 

I would

 

Seems like a lot of the car magazines have died out slowly, they are getting thinner and thinner since the popularity of the internet car forums has increased significantly.

 

X 2

 

what would be in the magazine?

 

Print in general is dead because it can't keep up with the internet. I've had a few off road mags for years and they're sending them more and more frequently just to try and stay relevant.

Magazines were keeping up for a while because they were still relevant for doctors offices, dealerships, ect. Anywhere you had to sit around and wait, but as smart phones and tablets are becoming more common print is losing a lot of ground.

With the economy the way it is and the way technology is advancing it would be pretty pointless to start a print magazine, especially for such a niche market.

 

sounds cool. sounds expensive tho if your trying to put out paper mags. What about a monthly forum mag. or something like that. taking the C.O.T.M and detailed write ups, wheeling spots with pics. calssifides ect ect. I mean all that info is on here... but put it all together..... something to think about.

 

^ like a, heres what you missed this month on CF... BAM

 

All of that is very true. I guess I would not have though that. It was just more of a thought on what could happen than anything else. Thanks everyone for your input. Was greatly appreciated. In other drama, I have a leaky Valve Cover...Is this something I should be worried about? Im thinking it is just the gasket that needs replacing...

 

Dont run it leaky for long.Ive never done a VC on a XJ... but it shouldnt be too troublesome. Theres probably had fulls of write ups on how to do it. nice lil sunday afternoon beer job.....

 

You can do the valve cover gasket in under an hour. There's not much too it, just disconnect the vacuum lines off and disconnect the throttle cables and it's just a matter of unbolting it.

 

You can drive it like that for years to come, just top off your oil once and a while. On the plus side you'll always have fresh oil.
