Despite the generous humour found within, this is probably NOT the book you want to get if you need to find out particular data on your Jeep. The book seems to focus on common sense issues related to 4X4's in general, so it leaves much to be desired in terms of identifying axles, transmissions, transfer cases and the like. Oh yeah, there aren't any wiring diagrams included. I suppose the book was written on the premise that the reader should already know what s/he has in and around their Jeep...which, in a sense, kinda relegates the book to owner's manual status rather than being a bible on the subject. The Haynes manuals are much better.

I really enjoyed the writing style used throughout the book, but I had hoped that since the book had been updated in 1997 it would have some Jeep YJ and TJ information. If you read the print on the cover it specifically states "1941-1986 CJ". So don't believe an earlier review that says this book has "TJ" information, the letters "TJ" cannot be found in this book. If you have a CJ or are a Jeep afficianado then this book is for you.

When working on my 1959 CJ3B or my brother's Scrambler I go to this book first, then the factory manuals. Clearly written, with tips only developed from experience. It's like having a personal Jeep mechanic in your garage.

This is the book I go to for help first. It's filled with common sense troubleshooting tips. This book is geared towards the older CJs that use points and "old technology" engines. It is not a "how-to" for performance or trail build-ups, there are other books better for that. Yes, you still need factory manuals and/or Chilton's type manuals, but this one is best for the average Jeep CJ owner with an older model who needs simple help on everyday problems!

This is the good book. Jeep freaks this is the real deal hollyfield. Easy to read, understand, and lots of stuff jeepers wanna know, forget Grisham...... Willie Worthy is my hero.

I'm new to Jeeps and am rebuilding a thrashed 79 CJ 7. This book was helpful at first with some things I would not have thought of. But pretty quickly I was opening it up and not finding anything helpful. I couldn't find any insight into my current axle issue, in fact nothing on my Dana 44's out of an 86 CJ.

So what do you get? A lot of common sense rambling from a guy who has been working on Jeeps since 1944. It's a good story with some interesting advice but in my opinion, not worth the money or the time.

This book has been a life saver and i love everything about it. It goes into great detail and helps with everything i need to know about fixing my Jeep CJ

This is my second Jeep (99 TJ) and I wish I would have bought this book earlier! Does have soom good things about the new TJ.
