About TRS Magazine...... 

 The who's and why's of TRS Magazine

TRS Magazine was an idea created by TRS site owner James Oaks.  The idea came from the lack of Ranger/Bronco II coverage in the major truck magazines.

TRS Magazine is designed to cover both street and off-road Rangers, Bronco II's, Explorers and Mazda B-Series.  With this being the second edition of the magazine, we still have some vacancies to fill.  Eventually we would like to make this magazine grow and put it in print.  For now, we're doing it on line to help get it organized and work out the bugs of an internet based magazine.
