The wife and I have been slowly getting rid of some of our collected junk. One of the things has been to go through our collection of magazines, figuring out which ones to keep and which ones to donate/recycle. I started today on my offroading and dirt bike magazines. I kept all my 4wd toyota owner mags, but got rid of all my Dirt Rider mags from '93 and went through my Peterson's 4wheel and Offroad Collection. Mostly from '93, '94, and some from '06. I cut out a lot of back cover toyota ads from the '93 and '94 ones. Pretty funny how much they talk up what is now known as the 3.SLO It was still pretty cool to find a back page ad for my 4runner. I also looked at the features to see if they featured any toyotas. Not many, but the ones they did were hilarious by todays standards. Most were built for show and mud.
I ended up getting rid of all of them minus some back cover ads and I kept two. One had a feature on Surprise Canyon with some pics of Marlin's truck coming down one of the falls, so I kept that one since that trail is no longer open. The other one had a truck shootout for the best 4x4 between a '93 Toyota truck, a '93 Ford Ranger, and a '94 Chevy S10 (the chevy was the only one with any changes, hence the other ones being '93's). Well, I just had the time to sit down and read it. Guess who won???
