TAULER JACK

A new alternative to the old off-road jack

What's your plan for a flat tire off-road?

This issue of Four Wheeler includes a story on the assembly and test of the new Tauler Jack, and that got me thinking about all the flat tires I've had off-road.

GRANDDADDY'S BIRTHDAY

We join Jeepers Jamboree for their 7Oth annual trek to the Rubicon

SANDTASTIC!

Dangle the opportunity to put the hammer down on more than a dozen square miles of the largest coastal dune complex in the world, add in partying with family and friends at sand camps, spice it up a bit with a variety of motorsport competition and nightly concerts, and it's easy to see why the five-day

JEEP GRAND CAMPER

This custom 1994 Grand Cherokee and homebuilt trailer were made to go camping

This fourdoor Ford foreshadowed late-model Broncos

Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.

THE BIG TOP

In the January issue, we featured Gray Baskerville's '32 Roadster. In that article, we heaped praise on Gray for his witty and engaging writing style, so this month, we present two examples written from his early tenure at HRM. Both these features appeared in the February 1979 issue, and both are replete with Gray's signature humor and clever turns-of-phrase. Though there's no writer credited for the single pager on the fiberglass '32, it's pretty obviously Gray.

The World's Heaviest Minivan (Also, Its Fanciest)

To suggest that Jeep's seven- or eight-passenger Wagoneer L/ Grand Wagoneer L twins are elephantine is to libel pachyderms. Both vehicles boast seven newfound inches of wheelbase and 12.0 bonus inches overall, compared with what we now quite inadvisably call their short-wheelbase kinsfolk. We are here to make you smile.

BRINGING CONTRAST BACK TO THE LUXURY SEGMENT

Highs: So quiet, so smooth, so big. Lows: So expensive, so much like an S-class.

Comfortably Numb

Highs: Roomy interior, comfortable and quiet around town. Lows: Lazy acceleration, polarizing looks, pales next to more exciting competition.

Answered Prayer

Highs: Greater driver engagement, nearly as quick as the automatic, no additional cost. Lows: Not offered with the base four-cylinder, EPA fuel economy takes a hit.

Shaping Up
