Re: Off-Road Adventures

If you are going to throw away your magazine I sure would like to have a few extra copies to keep. I will pay for the shipping. Thanks Gary

Re: Off-Road Adventures

What month mag are you in? I've got the Dec. '07 and don't see you in there.

If your close to a 4WheelParts store, they usually have a stack of the recent ORA mags on the counter for free.

Re: Off-Road Adventures

Very nice Jimmy. I somehow missed the article until I read this thread.

I'm sure if you contact the publication, they'll send you some extra copies. It is a free publication anyway. If they won't, you can PM me your address, I'll send you my copy, although my son grabbed it and it is a little wrinkled.

In addition to your Jimmy, there were a handful of really nice old iron GM rigs in this months issue.

Their were a few older trucks but mostly jeeps and newer trucks. I had a lot of people look at my truck. Its better than going to a car show the people come their to see cars. The truck and jeep show people come to see trucks.
My truck is in the January issue.

Re: Off-Road Adventures

Yep, just got my issue..... Kudos man, kudos..... Sweet write up on a sweet Jimmy in a sweet rag. They took some great shots. I think someone on the staff really digs the Blazer and the Jimmy. A few years ago they did a whole "Old Iron" write up on the 69-72 Blazer.
