I just got the October issue and wanted to talk a little about the article on page 86.  "Recycled Bucket".  I could tell very easily that it was a half article, half advertisment for Car Quest, but that's ok.  I sill liked it.  You know why?  Because it showed everyday little things that anyone can do without needing welding experience or a ton of money in tools!  In fact, I'd like to see a project where you take an old truck (your choice) and get it running right with just the minimal amount of hand tools.  Just to show it can be done well while on the cheap.

I know you had your $1000 cheap project rigs at one time.  How about doing another, but keeping it around for different easy projects to show?  

I have to say that the "4x4 of the year" articles are what got me hooked on the mag back in 98 when I was 14... I get exited anytime there is an article on anything basic build, budget build, or multi-purpose bulid, I can't afford to do a big build on my Explorer but I love 4x4s and would like to see more close to stock vehicles in between the cover pages... they just get me more exited about going out with or wrenching on my own truck... Love the Mag and keep it up...
