| This is a 2002 GMC Yukon that has been transformed into a Yukalade. The owner, John Lewis with the help of his brothers shop RAEDER Motorsports and his friend Nick have performed all of the suspension and bodywork. The transformation included an Escalade front end, shaved doors, roof rack and tailgate plus much more. All this hard work has paid of for John. Since the truck hit the show scene in August of 2003 it has won best of show at the Boston Funk Master Flex show, been on display at the international Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and featured in four Magazines including two covers. All within 6 months. |
