Hi Guy's
Just joined today.
I have a 97 yukon that I've owed for a bit over a year now. Has done 118k miles.
Am doing a tidy up with the Suspension as currently it handles like a pregnant ***** Whale [emoji228]. Done front sway/link bushes looking at a belltech 1-3" front 4" rear drop from Carid. Any suggestions for others Suspension suppliers welcome.
Thanks

Thanks
Have been reading you guys posts for a wee while. Seems like a good lot of people with a like minded love of their trucks.

Met some people from the states at a local farmers market that we were working on a Saturday morning recently. They thought the truck was pretty tidy for the year too!
Love the left hand drive as we drive on the left over here. Can pull up to the curb and step out onto the footpath

Hahahaha [emoji869]
Is the best stuff! Before the shutdown and there were tourists were taking it home to Asia,UK,States! Travels well and customs friendly in most countries.Sent some to a mate in Canada,took like 2 weeks. Not sure how it tasted by then. He reckons it was allgood! Have a look at Cured.NZ we have a online store,checkout the product. Hoping to export someday
Cheers boys [emoji109]

Have been making this product for the last 3 or 4 years. Just coming up 35 years in the trade this year I think.
Maybe getting off truck chat,hope no one gets offended but were just getting to know each other. Lol at least I put a rear shot of the Yukon in the picture. Wassup N.J [emoji112]

Off track? What? We never get off track here. What, yes we do. :rolleyes:

Seriously, what would it take to get some sent over to the states?

Need a distributor here?

Hey there
Yes the Reaper is a stand alone product in terms of spice that I designed by chance from a successful crop of Carolina Reaper chilli that I grew in my garden a couple of years back Around 1.5milloin on the scovel scale is pretty hot! I managed to engineer the the recipe so you can taste the capsicum right at the start,garlic next then meat and finally varying levels of heat but never losing the beautiful flavour of the Reaper. If you have tried a Reaper chilli before they have a super intense sour n sweet hit in a second then when the oil of it hits you you are entering a distant solar system. Everyone's palette is unique. The variance from different customers is pretty humourous!
Yup,let's see what the future brings,would love for you guys to try the product. Have been making biersticks recently.
Gaining popularity quickly[emoji110].
By the way getting bearing noise from my transfer case might have to pull it down this winter and see if I can rebuild it this winter.
Cheers

Yeah an export license for a start.
A company that wanted to to import our product in the states for distribution. A customer base.
Our building was previously certified for export so that is a box ticked. Baby steps in this economy at the moments. High Hope's for all our futures [emoji120][emoji41][emoji1666]

Welcome from Miami Beach!

Your Yukon is in excellent condition! Wish you were here in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area. Can not find good Salami here. I have to drive up to the New Jersey-NYC area to find good Salami.

Our roads over here are pretty small. The big black beast takes up some room on the road! Am looking forward to lowering it a bit. Want to do a Rally Sport sort of look.
Big mudflaps as it has a habit if painting itself a bit at the mo. Some hedman headers with the large balance tube. 3" stainless mandrel bent pipe to let all 8 sing.
Maybe a wee cam ,hei,alloy manifold,4 barrelled injection carb. Egr delete.
Or maybe the right internals and a procharge for instant G G's T the wheels.
Woohoo!! I have a list as big as I'd like my accelerator to be!!
