You are right that the rear disk conversion articles were bogus. After
trying it myself, those kits are BS. Didn't work, too many problems,
just plain dangerous. Wait until someone puts it ontheir vehicle and
then kills themselves or someone else. Nice lawsuit
On the magazines. Be realistic and nice. We try to print informational
articles without upsetting the apple cart. The subscriptions don't
cover that many expenses. The advertising does! Would you just have
fun to piss off your boss and then wonder why they canned you? Didn't
think so.
As a freelance writer for Sport Truck, I see these articles. I try to
be honest. I actually turned down a few articles after doing the
modifications because the product was bogus. The industry responds to
what the consumer wants. Everyone wanted a rear disc conversion kit.
Heck, me too. Our rear brakes suck! But what we got was not in
reality. Just want in the next 4 months or so to read my article on TB
comparisons. We are putting three types up against each other on two
different Dakotas, dyno each one after break in under similar
conditions. Straight up answers as to which one for different
applications and such. Each TB will have its own specific strengths and
weaknesses. This will be very informative also.
This is the kind of article that the new editor of Sport Truck is
getting. What you are talking about are old articles under different
editors. Just wait and see.
