David Tracy (Jalopnik) is at it again. Another Jeep nightmare

Post by Jeff V. »

You may remember Mr Tracy from his insane, yet against all odds successful, farm Jeep adventure last year.

https://bawcforums.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=34957

This time he bought a dead-for-12-years Grand Wagoneer.

He's already off to a good start with some life threatening retrieval techniques involving 3 come-alongs in series.

It sounds like he's going to use this as his tow vehicle to take last year's Willys back to Moab.

I think my favorite three right now (in no particular order) are

David Tracy
Kristen Lee (and her alter-ego Fancy Kristen)
Stef Schrader

David has insane projects and a solid mechanical knowledge base.
Stef's motorsports coverage is top notch and light hearted
Kristen has a nice all around set of articles. Her 0.0001% persona satire articles are pretty funny too.

I saw the headline yesterday and immediately thought "oh crap David Tracy is at it again." :lol:

I'd have to agree with your list of best current writers. Some of Alanis King's stuff is pretty good, but some of is just awful.
