June 2008 Vol. 4, no. 6
<strong>
&quot;biggest issue ever! 268 pages of diesel&quot;</strong>


First 8 pages are ads
Last 27 pages are ads

I counted 160 pages of Ads So you're only getting 108 of material worth reading.... If they keep this up Im going to cancel my subscription....  

Fancy bottomless budget trucks are nice and all but c'mon Id say 1% of the readers are actually able to afford stuff like that.   How about less flash for the bottomless budget trucks and more focus on the "Diesel Powered"

Youre a day late and dollar short on the "1800hp Ford Sledpuller"   its NOT a megacab its a Quadcab  and its almost finished... Im sure we'll see it run THIS season not NEXT like the article said...  want proof? www.bigbaddodge.com   click on "Big Bad Diesel II"

just my .02

How about also getting rid of all the naked chicks. I subscribe to read about diesels. Not have to go throught the magazine before I let my young son see it. I'm having to go through it every month and get rid of the page with the orange county advertisement. It has a half naked girl and it belongs in playboy not diesel power.

Love the half naked girls and the big budget trucks. Makes for great reading material, good ideas for mods on my own trucks and if thats all not good enough you got somethin good to look at while your reading... and the trucks are pretty good lookin to. hehe I think a good combo all in all. My kind of magzine

It's true we do have a lot of ads, but 108 pages of articles is a lot more than you would get in other smaller mags.  They may be 150 pages, but probably only about 70-80 would be edit. If you don't like the ads, don't read em.  And yes I know Scott Vorhees and his big bad Dodge, we've already seen the re-bodied puller in action.

i like some of the adds... the adds give me ideas and i can see some of the new stuff that's on the market... granted.. i can't use any of it... they don't put much out for pre '94 cummins trucks or jeeps... but it's a good place to look for prices and helping out my friends who are looking for stuff... as for the women... i've got a two year old boy who loves all the trucks in the magazine and will pull the mag out of the mail and go through it while i'm at work... so he see's it before i even do sometimes... and it's not cool when a two year old is pointing at a pic like that with that question in his eyes... i like to look at them... yes... but there are magazines out there specifically for that... go buy one of them if you really want those pics... not a truck mag...

Hey guys! We've got to pay the bills somehow! My personal gripe on the site are the pop-up "Vibrant" ads. But they make money. Oh well. (shrug)

If you're using Firefox, I think you can download the AdBlocker Plus update that might keep them from showing up.
