Jeep 4X4 Performance Handbook (Performance Handbook)

Paperback - 192 pages (November 1998)
Motorbooks International;  Dimensions (in inches): 0.47 x 10.62 x 8.28
This book answers Jeeper's "most asked" tech questions!
I spent 20 years twisting wrenches as an ASE Certified Master Tech and worked on a passle of 4x4s before "retiring" to write full-time six years ago. I'm still (and always will be) a gearhead, so much of my work has focused on the mechanical side of things. Part of my work these days is answering Jeep tech questions and a couple of years ago, I began to notice the same ones coming up again and again. I also noticed a sad lack of deep technical info on many Jeep componants. It wasn't long before the idea of a Jeep performance handbook took shape in my head as an answer to jeep owners wanting a map to chart their path through the mechanical minefield of a Jeep buildup. My goal was to offer cost-effective advice and sound engineering principles to help you build a better Jeep. I hope you enjoy reading this book half as much as I enjoyed writing it. See you on the trail! Jim Allen

Book Description
Adapted from a spartan military design, Jeep defined the standard for civilian off-road performance in the 1950s. Today, as an integral member of the DaimlerChrysler family, Jeep is a major player in the high-end sport utility market. With special attention to the development of the off-road and SUV markets, this color history profiles Jeep's remarkable evolution from its years as the stout cornerstone of American Motors through its incorporation into Chrysler. Striking color photography of classic Jeeps from throughout the years includes such popular and collectible models like CJs, pickups, Jeepsters, Forward Control trucks, military Jeeps, Wagoneers, Cherokees, Wranglers, and more.

Motorbooks International ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.67 x 11.35 x 10.56
Book Description
In the course of a little under 60 years, the Jeep has evolved from little more than mechanical mule into the epitome of luxury four-wheel- drive vehicles. This book traces that heritage from the delivery of the first Jeep by Willys Overland to Allied military services in 1941, through popular postwar civilian models like the CJ and on to today's Grand Cherokee SUVs. Specially commissioned color photographs document all the models and the Jeep's growing icon status as marque ownership passes from Willys to AMC and finally to Chrysler.

Four Wheeler Magazine, March 1998
Another must have for the Library The Jeep Bible: Second Edition by Granville King Almost 15 years ago, Granville King, in his unique style, published a book specifically written for those of us who love, live and breathe Jeep. There has never been a more user-friendly instruction book on how to keep your Jeep alive than the Jeep Bible. The main body of the work discusses each of the major components of any pre-1986 Jeep: Leaks and Noises, Engine Troubleshooting, Manual Transmissions and Transfer Cases, and more. The book was originally published in 1985, but recently benefits form another Jeep enthusiast and technical expert - Four Wheeler's own "Techline" answer man, Willie Worthy. Willie spent many days and nights making a few corrections along the way, as well as adding his own personal stamp on the Jeep Bible, with three additional chapters covering everything from engine to axle swaps, locking differential options, wheel and tire combinations, and synthetic lubes, to name a few. In addition, Willie compiled, quite possibly, the most comprehensive listing of Jeep sources ever assembled. These are not just books, they are the resource. Fergawdsake, git yours ratt now!

Jeep Prototypes - A book for all Jeepers, January 18, 2001
Reviewer: Aaron J. Heiner  from Maryland
I found this book to be quite differant than other Jeep books owned. This book provides a brief overview of Jeeps that were never produced. Having dozens of books on Jeep, and have thinking that I have seen every prototype ever made, this book proved me quite wrong. There were litterally dozens on Jeeps that I had never seen before. This book is a must for all hardcore Jeepers. Personally a few color photos would have been nice for the price but the few unseen Jeeps included makes up for this.
