 GRANVILLE
KING (AKA Desert Fox and Superdawg) and WILLIE WORTHY (Four-Wheeler's
Technical Whiz) have written all the stuff you want to know about MB, GPW,
CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B, CJ-5, CJ-6, CJ-7, JEEPSTER, COMMANDO and CJ-8.
- PLUS -
- A Special Chapter on how to keep your CJ
alive for 200,000 miles, and get better mileage, too.
- Facts, figures, and "How-TO" on
modifying your CJ for top 4-WD performance.
- Willie's "Hot-List" of 250
suppliers who want to help you along the way.
Granville King started in
Jeeps and Jeep maintenance in 1941, the year the first vehicle came off
the production line. He soldiered with one for three years overseas
in combat areas; he owned a Jeep garage for a time; and he wrote scads of
magazine articles about them. He, along with Superdawg,
also wrote the famous column From the Back Country, which
appeared in off-road magazines for 25 years.
In The Jeep Bible Granville combines
his own experience with technical information from factory shop manuals,
Chilton and other sources into a readable tale, all with his famous light
touch for ease of understanding. It is, indeed, a Jeep Bible
for the old pro, the intrepid do-it-yourselfer and the plain vanilla
beginner. Included is his revelation of how the Jeep won World War
II. Singlehanded!
Willie Worthy has written
about Jeeps and provided answers to technical questions in Four-Wheeler
and other magazines for over 25 years. He bought his first Jeep (a
World War II Military, natch) in 1959, and caught the bug. He's
owned 14 4-WDs, five sand buggies, four ATVs and four off-road
racers! This guy KNOWS what he's talking (and writing) about.
And if he doesn't know, he knows WHO TO ASK. He's one of those rare
types, a LITERATE MECHANIC. The Jeep Cult doesn't have a better
one! He's gone through every chapter of The Jeep Bible for
this Second Edition, making any needed changes and additions, while
maintaining Granville's intimate way with words.
PLUS, he's added a detailed chapter
on Jeep modifications and how to perform them the right way. And as
a bonus, there's his heretofore unpublished "hot list" of Jeep
parts and modification suppliers. Whatta guy! Whatta
book! Granville'd be proud!
