The Four Wheeler Network and the off-road community are with a heavy heart this week as we mourn the loss of our great friend, fellow wheeler and Jp Editor, Pete Trasborg who passed away last Friday. Pete was a true off-road enthusiast who embodied the real spirit of the Jeep Lifestyle.

As the Editor-In-Chief of Jp magazine, Pete strived to create some of the most engaging and creative content in the industry while spreading his love for Jeeps with his audience. Whether he was racing the Every Man Challenge at King of the Hammers or wrapping himself in protective bubble wrap to wrench on his beloved Jeeps in his driveway, Pete always had a smile on his face.

Even the toughest of jobs—like outdoor photo shoots with models in freezing temperatures while wearing his signature yellow Jp shirt, or welding up a gas tank on a Flattie in the dark during Easter Jeep Safari in Moab—didn’t seem to scare Pete one bit. He could fix a Jeep both on the trail or on the side of the road with little to no tools if need be.

Pete had a wealth of knowledge of all things Jeep and was always quick to help anyone out. His writing was always entertaining and his builds were always impressive. Pete was a pioneer of entertaining content, from Randy’s Electrical Corner to his epic Parking Garage Engine Swap story on his beloved Big Mini Jeep Wrangler YJ.

Pete loved the Jeep community and dedicated his life to living the Jeep lifestyle. He was known as the Jeep guy in his town and people from all around would often drop by his doorstep to show him their Jeeps. Not surprisingly, Pete was always quick to lend a hand, offer advice or share the best jeep knowledge any enthusiast could ask for.

Pete was not the kind of guy that would want us to mourn him. Instead, we will celebrate his life by sharing some memorable stories about how he touched all the lives of the off-road community as well as everyone else around him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Trasborg family and the many friends who will miss Pete sorely.

Rest in peace, buddy!
