From the Editors:

Welcome back, good to see you again! Sorry it's been so long since the last update, both Jeff and Doc have gotten new jobs (actually, Doc's on his second this year) so we've been rather neglecting our duties here due to extremely heavy workloads. Jeff's been kind of incommunicado the last couple of months, about all we know is that he's busier than a one-armed paper-hanger in a hurricane. So, what's happened is that a lot of stuff that y'all have contributed over the last couple of months, that Doc forwarded to Jeff for Jeff to do, is still stashed on Jeff's computer, so we really don't have anywhere near as much material as we'd like, and we're sure you'd like to see. Hopefully this will be improving for next month's issue.

In This Issue:

Ken Renshaw, aka 36Ken on the FSJ-List, relates his latest attempt at the Rubicon, in which he finally makes it all the way through without breaking anything, in Rubicon: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Landen Schooler provides us with the 1962 Gladiator Sales Book. Brian Moake contributes this month's Tip of the Month, How to Tell if Your Four-Wheel Drive is Working, and Al Krason contributes the Poor Man's Performance Increase for the M-715 to complete the addition's this month to the Tech section. We've got a couple of new Readers' Rigs, namely Jeeper67's '67 J2000 and Barry Brown's '80 Cherokee.

As always, we invite you to visit the International Full Size Jeep Association / FSJ-List site for more (MUCH more) FSJ information.
