Factory Flogging
The other day while I was dodging stalled vehicles who were stuck in less than 2 inches of snow on the roadway, I realized how lucky I am to own a Jeep. It's an '05 Grand Cherokee Laredo with the full-time four-wheel-drive. As I was driving around barely noticing the snow I began to wonder just how much snow my Jeep could handle or perhaps mud rocks or other off-road obstacles. I know my Jeep is more known for its mall-crawling properties or grocery getting abilities (as is stated by almost all of the online and magazine sources) but what can these new drive systems actually tackle? I think it is time to line-up and test all of the different vehicles produced by Jeep and see exactly what it takes to stop one cold. Also it would be just plain fun! If you decide to give it a whirl I know where you can find a WK Laredo.Dj FerreiraBurke, Virginia
Awesome! Send us your Jeep for a few months and when we're done testing we'll send all the broken parts back in a box along with the results of our test. Anyone else want to let us drive their Jeep?
Fire Hazel!
You've got to do something with Hazel. I was feeling pretty good about myself. Iscored this decent '90 YJ with a six-cylinder and five-speed. It looks OK and has decent tires on it. There is no top and only surface rust spots on the body. Not bad for a beach Jeep. Only cost me $2,000, it's in my driveway and I'm smiling.
Then this jerk, this demon from the bowels of hell finds one for $500. Yeah, it's a four-cylinder, but it's nicer and has a top! I mean how is your ordinary reader suppose to maintain his or her self-esteem when they're constantly under barrage from this madman you have working for you.
And then, we'll be ridiculed further with these so-called "articles". Everyone knows this is just his diabolical way of flaunting his "find" in our faces.
Please spare us. Rid us of this curse to Jeepdom.

Missing February
I just subscribed to Jp and received a January and a March issue. Did I miss the February issue?TimritchieblueVia jpmagazine.com
Ahhh, you really missed out! February will likely be the best issue this year! Nah, not really. Jp magazine is only published 10 times a year. There is no February or December issue for 2009.
