Sonic Blue on a 2003 7.3??? Wow, I didn't think Sonic Blue came out until later 2003 or early 2004.

And in a DRW!! It looks great and I bet it is one of very few made!

Its a sport, Painted bumpers and carbon fiber interior inserts.
Just had the front bumper repainted under warranty, Paint was flaking off in a few spots so warranty took care of that.
I love the color of this thing, in parking lots at night it looks purple
I doubt it is worth any more than any other dually in that year but I figure it is one of VERY VERY Few made, you are probably right SRJim!

It look's like Excursion's are the most popular. My F350 pulls our 32 Sun. like it's not even back there at around 17 mpg!!! But with my Daughter starting College I guess it's now offically "FOR SALE" :mad: :mad:

nice truck...

Wasabe/Jeffrey, do you two just not believe in 3/4 Tons or something? :D :D Y'all could TRICK OUT a Duramax.

I'm in the same boat, my Yukon is only a 1/2 ton, the problem with the 3/4 tons are the 8 lugs, nobody really makes a striking enough wheel, not too mention; not much out there bigger than 20" :rolleyes:
I keep trying to talk Jeffrey in to stripping the chrome off his MOMO wheels, and paint them in anthracite, along with getting the Red Brembo GT brake kit :D

Where does it stop :evilb:

:D :D

Jimbo, I know, but you gotta have some meat on there too to tow safely. They make these Helos in 18s and 20s w/ 6 or 8 lugs. I am soon going to go with 18s with BFG Rubber. I know you have seen Mike's dark grey Duramax with all the goodies.

2004 GMC Duramax Edge Attitude and 4 inch stainless exhaust. Running 90 MPH going around the Nashville Superspeedway. I had to let off so that my buddy's 6.0 powerstroke could catch up to be in the picture. At 90, that 38 is pushing you up into the wall!!

Chrome don't get you home :D

I just can't bring myself to ever run chrome wheels on a car or truck, I guess that's my sickness of being in the aftermarket wheel business for too long :cool:

ANTERA comes standard from Italy with a Silver painted finish, but has a touch of Pearl in the clearcoat, so it gives the wheel finish some depth.

On one of the pics from page 2 of my truck it shows one of their new wheels, I really have not warmed up to the new style, they offer the wheels in silver with a polished stainless pressed on lip that is can be replaced if you curb scuff the wheels...which is cool, but the shiny stuff is too bling for me sometimes :cool:

you can check out some of the other stuff we import, go to www.cecwheels.com
The gallery has quite a bit of stuff with all types of cars and trucks :drink:

Are they competing in the dually wheel market?

If this was directed to me??? No, ANTERA mainly offers wheels for most standard SUV's, and popular European car applications :cool:

There is a company out here called APP- Aluminum Precision Products, and they offer a really nice looking 19" Dually fitment, and of course you can't go wrong with the Alcoa's too :cool:

2003 PSD Excursion (6L) - 4x4 Eddie Bauer with 5.5" Lift, white out paint, CenterLine rims and SS running boards.

Jimbo, do me a favor and swipe those mirrors off of Nort's truck and paint them for him for Xmas. That would look tight!

Don't worry about painting the tow-hooks. They will just get scratched up next time a Chevy has to pull him out of some crap. :D :D

They are Alcoa 22.5's with Michelin XD2's 255/70. I am going to put a full lift on her in the coming weeks...... I need to go up another 2-3 inches.

Nice job. If my truck wasn't a daily driver I'd take a chance at the lift! I raised 2" in the front with rear bags. Easy to get in and out of with a suit! If that's your tow vehicle you gotta nice combo!
