AMSOIL-lubed Truck Featured in 8-Lug Diesel

Nice email from AMSOIL friends Don & Erin Brooks of Mesa, Arizona. "Hope all is well on your end and wanted to send you some pics of our 8-LUG feature...WE MADE THE COVER!!!"

It's not every day you get the nod as a cover story. The feature article inside, titled Big Tyme Excursion, details their 2005 Ford Excursion 6.0 Powerstroke Diesel 4x4, "Eddie Bauer" Edition. Way cool, team. What impressed the editors was their attention to detail. Here's a list of their modifications. Their Excursion has been featured in an AMSOIL ad directed to diesel truck owners.
