Title: 4x4 Magazines
Post by: jiffyman on January 13, 2006, 20:28:42

OK people, which 'other' 4x4 offroad magazines do you buy, apart from the LR only mags?

Used to see one called Total Offroad but cant seem to find anything other than the american ones.

Any ideas? Cheers

The only other (apart from the LR ones) is Total Off Road.
To be found in WH Smiths

Years ago there used to be 'Overland'

It metamorphosised into 'Off Road & 4-Wheel Drive'

There was also;
'4x4'

'4x4 Driver' (John Caroll; 'LRW' editor used to write for this, he also edited? 'Back Street Heroes' at roughly the same time)

'International Off-Road & 4x4' (Frank Elson of 'LRM' journalism wrote for this)

plus another posher title that eludes me (Phil Llewwellyn wrote for it)

Got some copies of these down in my snug

IMHO Total Offroad is the best.  I tend not to buy LR only as they bore me.

i just subscribe to TOR and LRO, the articles in the landy mags seem to duplicate , so one does all.

I get TOR and Lro. I like to read TOR but the adverts are limited for a bits enthusiast like me

LRO and occasionally Total Off Road or Land Rover Enthusiast.

It is amazing that there are four Land Rover mags that manage to stay viable in this day and age. Especially as previously stated the articles are often quite repetitive.

I subscribe to LRO and TOR and get LRE, LRW, LRM and 4x4 magazine as freebies due to being an advertiser.

where do non subscribers find TOR? ive not seen it any where.
 all the adverts in LRO etc bug me, always the same aswell. But i do keep buying it out of habbit, wish i would learn
 4x4 magazine, has a  jeep bias, landy articals are the same as those in LRW (sister magazine) but does review a good number of new vechicles if that your thing

I like "Petersons 4 wheel and off road" and "4x4 builder," both American mags.  They do proper build-ups and have pages of detail rather than the numpty stuff you get in the UK mags.

TOR is a regular too, largely because of it's unbiased vehicle tendancy (until this month) and the road books.  If you can't be bothered to find a WH Smith, try your local newsagent as they should be able to get it for you 'specially if you tell them its published by Waterway World Ltd.
