LETTERS &STUFF Email your questions, comments and images (in jpeg format at 2-5 MB) with your name, address & phone number to info@oramagazine.com DAN IS THE MAN IN VEGAS Just wanted to let you know that you have THE best salesman, Dan Raymond, in Las Vegas that I've ever seen. He has done several trucks for me over the years. I have a 2006 Chevy 4 door long bed Duramax that has all the good stuff. I get asked several times a week about it and I send them all to your store. I would love to put this truck in your Off-Road Adventures mag some time. We are off-road racers in the SNORE series and it's all decked out, and you all are starting on my chase truck next week. If you would like pictures to see for yourself, just let me know, I would love for you to see it. Good luck at the races, we cheer ya on at all the ones we go to. Thanks again, Rick Rochell XXXPEDITION UPDATE-A BLAST FROM THE PAST Hi Denis, Since we have been off the screen for a little while we wanted to touch base. After ...

some structural damage over its tough, long life and we sold it Down Under. Here in Europe we purchased a Wrangler Unlimited Diesel which we built up. The TÜV (technical inspection) made modifications very hard but we managed pretty well so far. We did a trip to Morrocco and Greece in the last couple of years. Now with a fivemonth old daughter we will slow down for a year or so before we introduce her to serious xxxpeditioning. A story about the rig is in the works and we will be back with some more updates as they come along. Let's keep exploring! Sven and Magdalena XXXpedition In case XXXpedition (Xtraordinary Xciting Xpeditions) is not familiar to you, Sven and Magdalena (from Austria) wrote a series of stories of their travels across the U.S., in Alaska, and in Australia for ORA a few years ago. It's good to hear from them again and hopefully Sven will share some posts on the ORA Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ORAmaga zine). In the meantime, check out their adventures on their web ...

2011 Ford Super Duty gets an all-new powertrain By Bruce Smith Photos Larry Walton Off-roaders who tow large fifth wheels, toyhaulers and cargo trailers will appreciate the increased towing capacity of the new Super Duty. Half-ton pickups can handle most ÖÖof our pickup needs until it comes to hauling or towing larger loads. Throw your Jeep on a trailer and you're probably already up against max towing capacity and that's before you add fuel, passengers, ice chest, sand tires and tools. Even if you are careful about your light-duty pickup's tow rating and GVWR you're probably not going to like the rate it pulls hills or how it handles when loaded. A heavy-duty pickup is the way to go and none are more popular than the Ford Super Duty. Not only do you want a heavy-duty, there's no substitute for a turbo diesel. Long has the battle raged over the merits of Cummins, Duramax and PowerStroke. That's why the all-new, Ford built diesel is big news, especially to the Ford faithful. When Bruce ...
