Can you please offer a calendar with Bree and really cool Jeeps for 2007? It would be perfect in my shop, and I'll pay for one now.Jim KlipferVia e-mail
Go to Ask Bree Three (page 98) in this issue for more info on Bree paraphernalia.
That piece of trash that you picked up in Stoddard Valley ("Trash Day," July '06) is a railroad car coupler, or knuckle, as we call them. Hope I'm first to name that piece. Heck, I just got the mag in the mail today. Keep steering the ship. I think you do a capital job.Chris BoggessFort Wayne, Indiana
Yep, you got it, Chris! And you were the first to write in ... but you still win nothing. Apparently, we have a lot of railroad workers reading Jp that spotted the train car knuckle. This particular knuckle had been peppered with high-power gunfire. We're told you railroad guys aren't supposed to be reading on the job, so get back to work!
My husband and I are '45-'66 military and civilian Jeep collectors. We know some about the subject, and I was just wondering if you are having trouble keeping people interested in your magazine, why do you want to lose more? I thought this magazine was a good resource for people that want to get into Jeeps. My husband and I are very disappointed and have decided to discontinue you as one of our magazines. We will rely on a more traditional source, Military Vehicles Magazine, and it costs about three times more than Jp. The plus is I don't have to look at or read something that really should be in a Playboy. Hopefully, you will turn your magazine around to what it was intended for, good articles about Jeeps. Good luck.Teri WilliamsVia e-mail
Perhaps in the future Mr. Williams will simply do a better job of hiding his subscription to Jp Magazine. Work addresses and P.O. boxes are extremely helpful!
First, you guys are great! I've been reading my July '06 issue and had to write. I currently subscribe to Jp, Four Wheeler, and 4-Wheel & Off-Road.
All three are great mags, but Jp is by far the best! You guys (and Bree) have a great sense of humor while providing a vast amount of useful information for everybody. I would really like to highlight the useful information. I enjoy your tech articles that cover real-world problems and solutions. You're not afraid to try something that's a little more creative that will save us all a little money, and then give us the honest answer to how it works (or doesn't work). As a current parts-store manager and a former automotive service technician, I can appreciate this. For instance, a while back I read "Real Heat" (Nov. '05), which was about upgrading a CJ's blower motor size in order to increase the flow of hot air. I must say that your info was very helpful! I now have a CJ-7 with a warm interior, thanks to you guys! What I like is that you cover all parts of owning a Jeep - from keeping it warm to cleaning the top and what parts and tools to bring along on the trail for when we blow something up. What I'm saying is keep up the good work. You guys keep our spirits up and help us make it through the daily grind between off-road trips! Without your mag, life wouldn't be nearly as entertaining! Hope to see you on the trail.Aaron BjorklundAlden, Minnesota
Apparently we've scared off all of our pen pals. How come no one writes us anymore? We'd really like some friends. Tell us we suck. Tell us Christian Hazel should wear a wig you made from tennis-ball fur. Tell us to do an all-Bree bikini issue. Tell us anything; we're desperate for attention! Write to Jp Magazine, Be John's Pen Pal, 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048 or e-mail john.cappa@primedia.com.
