I was gifted a subscription a few years ago.... never saw or heard a peep from them... the person that gave the gift was sure they ordered it i guess i wasnt the only one

eric-the-red · 06-23-2009, 05:31 PM

I ordered May 18th and haven't received anything yet.

CRafferty · 06-23-2009, 05:35 PM

It's a hoax!

lofreqjeff · 06-23-2009, 05:43 PM

I was getting it for a while but it just stopped coming not too long after I renewed my subscription

CRafferty · 06-23-2009, 05:53 PM

^ then they probably went out of business.

881stGenRunner · 06-23-2009, 06:04 PM

theyre still in business, they send out magazines once every 2 months. Only 6 per year. I just got a message from them on facebook that is sent out to everyone that is a "fan" of them and it said everything that is going to be in the latest issue

jjrgr21 · 06-23-2009, 06:44 PM

email them directly, i've been a subscriber for about 3 years

**waskillywabbit** · 06-23-2009, 08:47 PM

I get mine every 2 months like clock work.

If you got a subscription issue, check the website and email/call.

BMWing about it on here doesn't get you a magazine.

4WD Toyota Owner Mag · 06-23-2009, 09:51 PM

Thanks everyone for the emails. We're still around and doing well! July/August issue can be seen at our website, www.4wdtoyotaowner.com. The next issue is our four year anniversary issue!

A word on issue shipping: the two examples listed here (April 26, May 18) both subscribed after the May/June lists had gone to the printer on April 22, so your first issue is the July/Aug 2009, which ships in about one week.

Email for questions is subscriptions@4wdtoyotaowner.com.

Here's the informational email that is auto-sent to every internet subscriber. In it, we say how it can take 10-12 weeks for a sub to arrive. This happens if one orders just after a list has gone, like the person above on April 26. As mentioned by another poster, issues come every OTHER month. Here's the auto-reply:

THIS IS AN AUTO-REPLY. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. This is for both new subscribers and those emailing with questions/concerns regarding an existing subscription.

FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS

Thank you for your subscription!

You must email us immediately if you change addresses, as the post office will NOT forward the magazine (bulk rate mail) and it will be sent to your old address. Thank you!

Whether a renewal or first-time subscriber, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

This email is to inform you that your payment was received for 4WD Toyota Owner magazine. Your first issue can take from TEN TO TWELVE weeks to ship (4WD Toyota Owner is bi-monthly, PUBLISHED EVERY OTHER MONTH), and several weeks to arrive via mail after that. Please be patient. Thank you!

GET BACK ISSUES! To see and get all the killer back issues of 4WD Toyota Owner, click on the link below. You can also see the Table of Contents pages via this link.

http://www.4wdtoyotaowner.com/TOC.html

Also, send pictures of your Toyota to YourYotas@4wdtoyotaowner.com so we can publish them. Make sure they are at least 1200x1600 in size! (No 800x600 or 728x640, etc)

We also want to see your CARNAGE shots! Did you flop or wreck your truck while wheeling? Send us the photos! info@4wdtoyotaowner.com

Thank you for subscribing to 4WD Toyota Owner magazine!

Oh man. My bad man. I totally reacted much too quickly lol. Sorry. I just had the same thing happen to me with a few magazines I sub'd to on the internet (non Yota related) and they either were a nonexistent group or would go out of business and not tell their buyers.

***Corey*** · 06-24-2009, 04:46 AM

Thanks Dave for the info.

I have only missed a few issues, and that was from the mailman either stealing my magazine, or him giving it to someone else in my 300+ unit complex.

They often mess up the mail where I live, and of course people are to lazy to return your mail to you if they get it by accident.

4WD Toyota Owner Mag · 06-24-2009, 06:38 AM

No worries CRafferty and thanks Corey...by the way, love your avatar pic! Hey we're going wheeling this weekend; please join us! Lovely, fun trail in the woods, nothing tight and nasty--should be fun! Let me know! And we can shoot your killer FJC!

Dave

***Corey*** · 06-24-2009, 01:21 PM

Thanks Dave, that is my desktop wallpaper at work too.

I would love to get out wheeling again sometime, it has been since last year I took a drive off road.
Pretty busy this weekend with projects I am behind on for my upcoming camping/vacation trip.

Waiting to hear from BajaRack too, as they are designing a custom rack made just for my style of tent so I can get the COG much lower.
Tent sits awfully high right now.

ajoebob · 06-24-2009, 09:34 PM

thanks for clearing it up. looks like i just missed the deadline. i will keep an eye on the mailbox.

ajoebob · 07-14-2009, 04:49 PM

Teuf · 07-14-2009, 06:09 PM

Dave, do a test or write up on 88 or older bed fixes, like fiberglass beds, or steel bedsides? i thought wolf steel in Cananda did steel panels? yes/no.

Thanks
