Jp was the only one worth a space in my Reading room (potty) but I think they just switched Editors and have decided if the Top doesnt come off its not worth space in there Rag. 2 months in a row of sticking their collective tongues in the TJ/JK guys Ears. Not worth the coin IMHO

JP, Petersens 4wheel, 4 wheel drive, four wheeler and off road are all sister magazines and are essentialy all the same, their tech is realy basic and for anyone to understand and they all leave out details to sort of dumb it down..
I like skiming through them ,
a lot of what I don't like in them is the super high dollar 1ton big hp rigs that overwhelm the pages and I also don't like most of their budget featurs cause it becomes common sense...
but there are enough good articles to keep me entertained and I come back to them, there not bad magazines but there are some issues that have absolutely nothing good in them either....

havnt heard of crawl... checkin it out now

The couple issues of Petersen's I liked more than the couple JPs I've bought. JP is nothing but JKs and paying other people to do things for you. In this one article about a multi-day desert trip, most of the pictures and discussion were about eating food and shooting random stuff. Barely any mention of the wheeling or Jeeps

Crawl is closest to hard core, JP is all jeep but can ***** out on the nitty gritty details, however you can look at the online site for past write ups, Peterson mags can have some great info but for specific jeep stuff you may want to scan the index at the mag rack.

Don't really disagree too much, they do-do (ya I said do-do) a lot with the TJ, YJ, JK, jeeps a lot. I hate to say it but I'm sure we all hear it "oh, I thought you had a wrangler when you said JEEP, not an SUV". JP does some cool budget build type stuff on all model Jeep. A couple of issues ago they did a rear coilover conversion on their XJ. They also did a re-gear article and discussed the MPG savings going to 4.56 gears (if memory serves correct) . I enjoy seein' JP show up in my mail box...
