Granville King started in Jeeps and Jeep
maintenance in 1941, the year the first vehicle came off the production line. He
soldiered with one for three years overseas in combat areas; he owned a Jeep garage for a
time; and he wrote scads of magazine articles about them. He, along with Superdawg,
also wrote the famous column From the Back Country, which appeared in off-road
magazines for 25 years.
In The Jeep Bible Granville combines his own
experience with technical information from factory shop manuals, Chilton and other sources
into a readable tale, all with his famous light touch for ease of understanding. It
is, indeed, a Jeep Bible for the old pro, the intrepid do-it-yourselfer and the
plain vanilla beginner. Included is his revelation of how the Jeep won World War II.
Singlehanded!
Willie Worthy has written about Jeeps and
provided answers to technical questions in Four-Wheeler and other magazines for
over 25 years. He bought his first Jeep (a World War II Military, natch) in 1959,
and caught the bug. He's owned 14 4-WDs, five sand buggies, four ATVs and four
off-road racers! This guy KNOWS what he's talking (and writing) about. And if
he doesn't know, he knows WHO TO ASK. He's one of those rare types, a LITERATE
MECHANIC. The Jeep Cult doesn't have a better one! He's gone through every
chapter of The Jeep Bible for this Second Edition, making any needed changes and
additions, while maintaining Granville's intimate way with words.
PLUS, he's added a detailed chapter on Jeep
modifications and how to perform them the right way. And as a bonus, there's his
heretofore unpublished "hot list" of Jeep parts and modification
suppliers. Whatta guy! Whatta book! Granville'd be proud!
