Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

[Rocket Man]

It’s pretty much all forested in this area. I have a 100’ fir tree and 3 80’ maple trees in my back yard and there’s forested areas everywhere around here. I’m at the north of the green line, just barely, halfway between where it says Gresham and that green line. Too damn close.

Yeah I’m not cancelling the order again, then taking a chance on another used one with probably 200,000 miles on zero fluid changes. Not worth it imo. It’s already decided, after I decided once then decided not to then decided to again lol. Not going to decide not to again. Man I sound nuts. But it has been a long couple days. The fires are getting too close to me if you guys haven’t heard. There’s a level 1 evacuation not 20 miles from me from a fire that started 3 days ago and has blown up. My sister lives in Oregon City, about 30 miles away and she is in a level 2 evacuation which means be lacked and ready. I have a niece who lives 10 miles from her who is level 3, mandatory evacuation, and a nephew who is another 10 miles out from her who had to evacuate yesterday and is pretty sure he’s going to lose his place. There’s people on my street who are freaking out and leaving, out in their front yards packing their shit and others hosing down their houses even though we aren’t in danger so far and the winds have died down to nothing. We aren’t even level 1 thank God. But the smoke came in today and now it’s scary looking outside. I’m just going to get the reman diff and new CV axles and hopefully my place will still be here by the time I get them installed.

That sucks man stay safe. I hope all your family make it out unscathed -including their homes and property. [emoji1317]

ETA: and, c’mon, we know Mark is not able to go with a junkyard part like a diff in the Beast! [emoji23][emoji106]

Beachie Creek and Riverside fires are about to merge. All the firefighters were told to disengage earlier today and focus on saving lives, getting people evacuated but it’s been a traffic jam all day getting out of there.

Watch out for the thief masquerading as user johnwillis. He started PM with me stating his “friend” has what I need. And I don’t even need anything.

x2! Mark needs to get better at expressing his feelings. You never quite know where he's at on an issue.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Lol, you told his ass off! What a scumbag.
On another note-- My daughter lives in Corvallis, in the Willamate Valley. Is that close to you? She sent me some pretty bad pics.

Corvallis is way south. There’s another fire down that way. On another note, RA just notified me that FedEx won’t issue a label to my location right now, probably because of the fires, so the diff order was cancelled. I just have to be patient I guess. Oh, I reported that jerk too, told the mods to BAN HIM! BAN HIM! BAN HIM!

Thx for the info Mark.
I didn't see his post--I'm sure they booted his ass!

He hasn’t posted a single thing- just that single PM- to me. No other activity. He joined yesterday and immediately sent me a PM saying he had what I’m looking for. Funny, I wasn’t looking for anything.

Damn.. [emoji19]

 

[Rocket Man]

I called Fedex. Twice. The first time I could not for the life of me understand because of the heavy accent. The second person couldn’t tell me for sure why RA couldn’t get a label printed, she just started talking about how big the fires were when she saw it on tv and said that might be it. She told me how to look up delivery issues on the website by zip code, so I did that. My zip code showed no delays or issues. So I emailed RA, told them I’m ordering again, and did. I just got a tracking number from them.

I just got the same message on GMFS, i posted earlier today and just got a notification.

From that same scumbag?

 

[915_Tahoe]

From that same scumbag?

User name is JOHNWILLS

 

[Tonyrodz]

User name is JOHNWILLS

Yup. I guess using the same name is easier to remember when you're scamming people.

 

[Rocket Man]

I think he’s been kicked out. I sent him this PM yesterday and reported him twice. His initial PM to me is gone and I can’t see his profile.
