Re:
That's really a un-educated thing to say Todd and do you really think only those who go off-road deserve to subscribe to 4WD Action? LOL  Un-believable that you managed to come up with such utter crap really. There are many other things 4WD Action reviews and provides information besides off-roading!
In any case, the question was about a soft-roader magazine and I think with the number of people choosing soft roaders is on the rise (have a look at the total sales of the X-Trails alone since 2001 in a recent article), there will surely be a member base interested in reading and finding-out the capabilities of the soft-roaders (all and not only the xtrails) and other general interesting articles like "how many times Todd clocked you going off-road in your soft-roader" LOL

Re: Softroader Magazine
Although there is a vast majority of softroaders on the market Jalal, todd does have a point. I said it in my first post. Although I personally would support a softroader based magazine I just don't believe the fan base is large enough to sustain it like there is for 4wd action.
Rest assured im still exploring the capabilities of the xtrail and plan to take t up to Mitchell Falls up off the Gibb river road next year. When I tell people thats where I'm heading they look at me surprised. Maybe I will fail but maybe I won't. I don't think if I went up there with a film crew that many people would be interested hahaha.....well I know the forum guys would be

Re:
Am not even sure why the comparison was made to 4WD Action in the first place. Totally different subscribers and totally different target market all-together. What works for 4WD Action in terms of its subscriber-base has absolutely no relation to the proposed soft-roaders magazine which can cover and needs to cover many other interesting articles besides off-roading.
And Todd, I have interest in off-roading despite what you might think, I simply don't have interest in this particular magazine and the articles it provides. Personal opinion really and not related to my off-roading pattern.
And BTW, I also LOVE riding bikes, which I guess in your view makes me less an off-roader as well

There are many interests of mine which I don't share as openly, but if you like for me to make a list, I'd be happy to send you an email Keep in mind that my interest in off-roading itself may differ from yours and that is fine too, as there are varying degrees of it. mine could simply include a run in a self-made mud patch, yours could be just a bit more extreme 
That's exactly what the soft-roader magazine would address, it doesn't need to be about soft-roaders going out of their way to prove they can go out with the big boys on some trips. It just need to show the limits of each soft roader class and what it is capable of with some modifications ON and OFF road.

Re:
That's what I thought too Jonathan, you referred to the 4WD Action magazine as an example of format rather than content. The soft-roader magazine can indeed use the same format but it would have its own character.
Anyway, great idea mate and hope it takes off.

Re: Softroader Magazine
Having such a mag and getting a substantial reader base would go a long way to convincing accessories manufacturers like ARB to start developing more off-road stuff for softroaders.
Currently they have the opinion that softroaders are not serious enough off-road vehicles and there is no market for accessories.
