I only buy emg mags from the $1 bin out the front of the newsagents these days. The thing is, i have to buy $10 worth of $1 mags, to actually get a full magazines worth of content. I mean, how many times can you repeat the same damn article!?
They used to pride themselves on unbiased product comparisons (although they seemingly leaned towards a few certain brands again and again, but that is my opinion only). It seems these comparisons have stopped and i think its because they cant compare decent products up against cheap c r@p.
On another note, i emailed 4wd action regarding the constant "last chance", "final offer", "super savings" email bombardment and also about me being put back on the email list without my consent and i actually got a very good response. Im not going to post it on here but if anyone is interested PM me.....

Enjoying the trips
I gave up on them a few years ago, the mag had a bold highlight on the front cover.. huge 196 pages this month.
Take out the front and back cover I reckon there was 194 pages of adds.
Not realy but you know what I mean.
In the early days I was fool enough to believe what Roothy said and bought some waste of money products or followed dud advice.
Their comparo articles directly related to the adds running in that months edition, the best fridge changed that many times, WTF.
Bought one a year or so ago ( I'm sure it was their mag????) about winches, the Warn was the best according to the test results by my reckoning and they did say it out performed the rest, but, it came 3rd as it was expensive.
The price does not come into it, if its the best thats what it is. Then the consumer can make up their own mind to shell out the readys.
Its like saying a Comadore is better than a Rolls as its cheaper. Maybe it is but you see my point.
I dont wish ill of them but they will not see any of my hard earned for literature, merchandise or products. There is a lot like me so they may be finding it hard to do business the way they have been operating.
Got wise and brushed them.
Cheers

My advice to anyone is don't believe what you read, especially if the publication involved has a vested interest. Do your research and buy quality. If you can't afford it at the time, wait till you can or put on layby. Failure of some product offroad could end up costing more than a few dollars. In general we all know that most of the products have a reputation, good and bad. Choose wisely and be happy or choose cheap and enter the lottery of possible failure.
