I hope you have better luck with your unit than I did with mine. I'll be sure to stay tuned and look for the follow-up story with a long term performance evaluation.Tyler GarrettChattanooga, Tennessee
Sorry you had issues with your Auburn ECTEDs. We've had the ECTED in the rear of our V-8 powered fullsize Jeep truck for nearly a year now and it's still working great. It's likely the most aggressive limited slip we've ever used and the locker locks and unlocks instantly. For more info check out "Switch Locked" in this issue.
Dirty Work
I noticed that none of you lashed out at the April Fools in Mailbag July '09, so please allow me if you would. First, the "Name Withheld" dumbass, who the hell cares that you own a '08 JK Rubicon? Does that make you special? I would have withheld my name too if I said something stupid like that. It's probably your first Jeep. The rest of you pansies that got your feelings hurt, why don't you call your mom and see if she will make it all better.
I would rather Jp magazine double its price for me than share this great magazine with a bunch of idiots like you. Go read the other magazines about street tire shootouts, how to drive in the mud, and what IFS lift and 22-inch wheels look best on my truck. Ask yourself, when has any other magazine done a suspension shootout from every company on one model at the same time, or dyno-tested every performance part by almost every brand on one motor? Oh, but you probably don't care about articles like that. You want to know what all-terrain tire gets the best fuel economy. Guys, yes we are in hard times, but I would rather laugh about it then be serious every second of the day. Jp mag, keep up the good work. We are lucky to have such a great magazine. And for the April Fool's, good luck finding tires for your Liberty.Scott Knowlesvia e-mail
Army-Approved
I just had to drop you a fast note. I just read my July '09 issue of Jp magazine and LOVE IT! I look forward to every issue no matter what is in it.
After reading the Mailbag section I had to laugh at all of those folks who are trying to bust your stones over the April '09 issue. If they are that soft skinned over a fun little joke I recommend they learn to suck it up. If they want to use their energy for something good, then write to the White House and tell Obama to stop foreign aid. This way our taxes will decrease and we (Jeep drivers) can have more money to spend on our rigs.
As a retired Army helicopter pilot (served for 30 years on active duty), the one thing I have learned is this: Americans are spoiled and cry over everything. Pull yourself up by your boot straps and get moving. Life is too damn short, so have fun in the meantime.Ray, CW4 (retired), US Armyvia e-mail
Last Ditch
Well, you not-so juvenile delinquents went too far this time. I am happy that you guys enjoy your April Fool's jokes. I didn't. And I didn't enjoy them enough that I decided I don't need to pay good money for the misinformation. So I cancelled my subscription to Jp. Give yourself a nice bonus and have a great life. So long chump. Ha, ha, ha.Robert HumkerViera, Florida
Word to Whiners
My goodness I've never heard so many people complain about an April Fool's joke! They all say it's the economy, seems like if they would take a joke and lighten up life would go a little smoother. I hope they don't read the magazine anymore; you don't want a bunch of little sissies reading it anyway! They all squat to pee! Keep up the good work. Hope to meet you guys someday.Bart WilhelmClever, Missouri
