FSJ readers are NOT a splinter group. It is our intent that
the FSJ mailing list supplement other Jeep and 4x4 internet
resources and not replace or detract from them.
Other resources beyond/beside FSJ-List:
------------------------------------
pretty sure all of these are defunct now... (2021)...
USENET: rec.autos.4x4
rec.autos.willys+jeep
Mailing list: offroad
Mailing list: JEEP-L

You think you want a Full Size Jeep?
1) are you a mechanic?
2) are you married to a mechanic?
3) are you related to a mechanic?
4) are you independently wealthy and know a good mechanic?
If you can't answer yes to any of the above, this may not be the best choice in vehicles for you. :)
