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.

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.

Where's Michael Rhodes’ CJ-5 today and why's it called Bad Attitude?

This was Michael Rhodes' first Jeep that he bought when he was in his early 20s. Every modification was done by him (except that custom paintjob), it's never been trailered, and 42 years later, we caught up with Michael to find out a bit more about Bad Attitude, his '75 Jeep CJ-5 originally featured in the July 1990 issue of Four Wheeler.

From The Backcountry

The SCORE show in California was| really great. I got to meet a buncha Old Grizzled Ones who've read this column since Gutenberg, and I chewed the fat until my voice went hoarse. Attending also were Four Wheeler's Ken Von Helmolt, Dave Epperson, John Stewart, Bruce Smith, Dave Cohen, and Jimmy Nylund-not to mention Larry and Linda Lee, who run the promo side of things.

CHEAP JEEP XJ CHEROKEE BUILD TIPS

I have a '00 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport that's pretty much bone stock. I want to build it up on the cheap to fit 32-inch tires and hit some trails in southwestern Colorado. I know these Jeeps have been built 1,000 different ways but wondered if you have any tips or tricks that will help me keep the budget down while improving the off-road abilities of the Jeep without ruining its on-road manners too much. I also found and scooped up an XJ Dana 44 rear axle for this build from a junkyard and will have it re-geared to work with the slightly larger tires.
