I have not received this magazine yet. I have been charged for it but have not received anything for it.

Unlike some other magazines, the articles are good for a average Jeeper, daily driver, and one who does have a budget. They do have a humor style you may or may not like, but it does not ruin the reading. The articles on doing things inexpensively have been useful to me.
The editorial maturity needs to grow a bit, so I can not give it more than four stars, and I almost gave it three.
I will renew the magazine because it is Jeep centric information, and the articles are not beyond the average daily driving Jeeper.

Some things never really change. Under one branding or another, the Jeep Wrangler has always been an American icon. Jacked up suspensions, massive bumpers, countwinches, a layer of dust, and an incredibly loud sound system - who could ask for more. Primarily a male ego toy, many dream of packing up some food, beverage, and a beautiful companion on an unplanned trip to some unknown Valhalla.Truth be told, most of us really do little more than hop into our squeaky clean wrangles and drive too and from work. An occasional secretive trip to a 'nature park' is as close as we come to roughing it in the wilderness. But the knowledge that we could do all those things is what is special. JP Magazine is intended to be a reality substitute for all of use who Jeep, even the rarer breed that really does go off-asphalt. Even the technical articles seem permeated with dust, and the editorial staff's hobby of collecting photographs of women holding the magazine logo let's us know that here there be macho. The articles are usually quite pertinent (a recent issue focused on tires and wheels) and they are more than willing to confront the dubious. The tone is chatty, but how-to discussion are careful and complete. I think they sometimes overdo the Jeep mystique, but underneath the jostling and leering is a good, readable trade journal. If you are a Jeepophile this is required reading. In addition to the technical articals, you can expect studies of custom Jeeps and off-road venues. You can even leave issues in strategic locations in order to impress your friends.

By the time my subscription ran out, I had tired of the lame humor, poor technical content, and hopelessly predictable format. It took three months for the subscription to get started and after two issues, I regretted buying it. Check out the web site before you buy this - it is pretty thin...
Great Magazine, if you can get it. April 2, 2002

Where to begin... I LOVE THE MAGAZINE! What I don't like is getting a bargain price on the subscription, then having it cancelled with no notification, then asking why, and being told it was due to not having enough to fill the order. Now its nearly twice the price. I see it for sale right here! Not enough, or didn't want to honor the price?
