Made a stop at a large box book store today and looked through 3 major Diesel magazines. It's sad to say but the 2.8L VM Motori in our CRD application is getting little to no representation in these 'Zines.

You guessed it, plenty with the current stable of Duramax, Cummins and Power Stroke and all their supporting aftermarket advertisers. Also, plenty of "how to" tips for these applications as well.
Even the 80's diesel applications in MB and VW were getting written up on SVO applications.

I thought it would be a wild idea but could we start our own CRD e-Zine. If our CRD is a Cult Classic, then it's up to us to keep the Cult status of the CRD application. Come to think of it, I guess L.O.S.T is our e-Zine!

There used to be a English Diesel car mag that delt with 4x4's but I've not seen it in the US in years.

Twp problems...only 11,200 of us AND the Zines are supported by Advertisers and nobody "really" makes much for us. Someone recently said a SAS KJ was in the newer issue of JP and the Sept 2006 Issue of Diesel World did a story about Modules on a CRD. That is all I have seen!

Get used to it. It's the price you pay for owning a black sheep of the Jeep world. I have put up with hardly no aftermarket for my montero for years, and the KJ has ALOT more to offer for the aftermarket then my monty.



Hopeful the member here at lost will come up with there own toys and share how to make or sell them.

Well I'm sure the fact that most people don't know the thing exists... probably has an effect on the lack of mods and exposure.
