You can absolutely help. One thing that kinda gets lost in this since im a jeep driver is that its for ALL types of off roading types. So clubs with everything are perfect for the magazine. I can use all the help I can get from the other states so ill definitely take it. Az will be the focus in the 4th issue so at some point im going to be visiting and will need a lot of information so stay tuned.

ALSO im asking you guys for your ideas for the actual website. Remember that the main thing here is the print magazine, so the website is only going to give you what the magazine cant. Videos, extended info from articles, etc.
So if you have any ideas, or would like to see something specific , lets talk about it.

id say one good thing would maybe have a tire to gear ratio chart for newer people into 4x4ing. also different tire reviews if possible and thoughts on them something like that. maybe talk about different ways to lift vehicles and whats all needed. along the lines of different lifts is maybe have a gallery of stock vehicle up to a heavily modified version of it. maybe have the tools needed while out on the trail from important to less.

So maybe I can categorize all that into a beginner or "need to know" type section. Make it really clean , well written, and just an entire area where information can be picked up easily. Anything to help the new comers to off-roading I'm all for. We all started somewhere so I like that idea.

I think a good idea too with the beginner section is have the trails divided up like that too. Maybe when get to a list of trails if go that route have minimum req for that trail that way people know what they getting into before hand. Maybe say its like a 2 more a lifted xj but a 6 or 7 rating for a stocker on the same trail

I think it would be a good idea to have a list of some stuff to keep on trail, as well as spare parts.... I would also think / suggest that a tech section would be highly recommended... It could show stuff like trail repairs, axle shaft replacements, etc etc etc... It could be overwhelming to be on a trail and break something and not know how to fix it... I know it would be for me

x2 one topic too could be extended brake lines different options with those. agree with the lockers too have the different types there are pro and con of each one. maybe on some of these topics put up some pics or a good video of it explaining every detail to answer the questions of the people

With the trails I want to rival traildamage. I love that site but for as many members as they have they do not update worth a damn and they have jack squat for the other states. Utah and Az are huge states and if you take out Moab there are barely any trails. I hate that!
My rating system would also be different. More along the lines of how you guys want them rated. I also want every trail recorded from beginning to end. If it's a longer trail, I can FF at a pace you can still see, and slow down for what's important. I can edit videos and still make them entertaining.
How to's and tech: I want videos for every job that's been done. So if you need axle swaps, axle work, fabrication, etc etc you'll be able to watch entire videos on the process.
One thing you can't forget is it's not just jeeps. So there will be parts that include Toyota, Nissan, fords, rovers, etc.
I like all your thoughts so keep em coming
