do you still read 4X4 rags?

[spencurai]

I have long since let me subscriptions run out. I just got tired of absorbing the whole magazine in 15 minutes after having waiting a month for it. all the information just seemed to be repetitive and boring. opinions?

 

[Skyetone]

I just ran out of my fourwheeler sub. I am really debating weither or not to re subscribe.

 

[Andy]

I haven't had a sub. for about three years now, I get my fix on the web now.

I don't subscribe anymore, but I will occasionally by an issue or two to keep in the bathroom.

I just got to the point where I read my monthly fix too fast. There is so much more information on the net now that it makes a magazine almost obselete. They must have felt a serious hit when people migrated to various online magazines. I spend most of my tech time on POR and my local tech/trail rides on here. I bounce around to different sites but mostly Stay away from Rags. Ocassionally I pick up a magazine and flip through it realizing that I saw all this tech and innovation on POR 2 months ago....old NEWS!! I really think Magazines are struggling to find things of interest anymore. the Recent shift back to showtrucks is disturbing also. The only reason I would flip through the showtruck articles was to see the editors make the poor sap drive 3000 hours of polishing through a mud hole My subscription money now goes to AT&T broadband...

The thing about today's is that it is all about the new SUV's and how well they are all around. Somethingn that is totally useless to us. Then there are the areas about how to upgrade a bolt that is in the steering and you would have to pull the engine just to do it. And of course thye have to have this extremly lifted truck that has nothing to do with four wheeling. The cover sould have action and lots of pics. I'd be happy if that was all it was. There is no S U V in 4 wheeling. Unless you build it up. Then we are talkin. I will read one if Im board or if ther is anything exciting to read. I just bum my friend's

I agree w/ Spence. To little quality content and most of the stuff is old news.

Plus, with online sites anyone can be the Editor! You can write your own ideas, views and vent-away!! (For some reason my views are slightly Biased in the Mag vs. Online Forums argument)

Spence,
Your choices don't cover me. I currently have 3 subscriptions to 4x4 mags. JP mag, 4 wheel & off road, FourWheeler. Fourwheeler is going to expire, and I'll let it but I'll probably keep the other two.

My choice would be: Yes, They fill a certain niche for my tastes.

Are they gospel, obviously not, but I do enjoy some of the articles. I try to surf the net as much as possible, but sometimes I have difficulties getting on the net.

The net doesn't seem to fit in my bronco or on the plane. Until then, gotta have something.

Oh man... I would never leave the forums if I had one of those.

 

[Hickey]

I still get JP, Petersen's, and 4wheel$sport utility. I have been getting a little bored with them lately, but I spend a lotta time in different states, so they help with the urges a little. Oh yeah, and I subscribe just for the pictures. I'm not one of those guys that tell you... " Iget it for the articles" ... oh were we talking about playboy?

Hehehe, I'm home at least 2-2 1/2 wks every month, and when I'm home I'm home 24/7!! Plus on vacation months, I can sometimes get the whole month off. I've been off since Mon, and have ALL of Feb (but I did pick up an extra trip next week - a 7 day trip, with commercial deadheads on the front and back, that operates one leg Lajes, Azores to McGuire AFB, that I will be gone from home for only 3 1/2 days! ) and hope to arrange my March sched to be gone only towards the end of the month! In fact, I'm thnking of bidding the SLC trips with 2 day weekend layovers!!

In any case, my wife is NYC till tomorrow!!
