Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

[Doubeleive]

i wish.... i do keep my taxable income low tho HOH and a dependent. i skirted just below the threshold last year for it, i maxed out 401k contributions which wasnt much more but just enough to stay under it this year i think

checks in the mail it got signed off today

yeap. have prob $1000 worth of stainless 3"&5" pipe/vbands/flanges/hardware/ etc i need either way
i kinda need both the turbo and radiator/fans to make it all happen tho

or

order new turbo and grab the cheapest 34" radiator > $100 bux so i can mock up around it, possibility i could still use the fans i have just mounted differently

or

i can order radiator and mock up with the turbo i have, and just leave enough room for bigger turbo. would silicone coupling the cold side in the mean time...it would be too much "temporary" stuff i think tho and i would still want to try and drive it

No, no you didn’t. Thank God. Keep it up! Although I figured you make too much to qualify since income cutoff is 80k a year...shit you spent that much on your engine last year didn’t you? So I figured you’re pulling in 200-300k easy.

Randy has other sources of income. Haven’t you heard about his semi?

Yea, I'm messing with a bit myself. That and BTC. I didn't buy GME until the other day. Its my fault its just hanging out. My portfolio is down about 32% though

My buddy has been making like $2k a day on that GME lol. Printer for him...until he convinced me to buy. I warned him

 

[randeez]

guy i work with keeps telling me to buy bitcoin or... fractions of it atleast... i dont doubt it will continue to rise, but i think i missed the boat on making any big $$

I threw like 2k in, average around 51. The owner of the company I work for has been telling me to buy since it was literally like $100. Never did. Forecast to be 100k at the end of the year. If I can dig out and be profitable on the trading, I'll dump profits in btc. Too many big players buying it now.

I'm always late to the game though, so who knows

1 turbo hole

got a few things in, couple parts to redo the ac lines. battery relocate bracket, 15/15' of 2/0 cable (battery going in back)
got the ac stuff stripped out. i tried to straighten out one ac line i had (i think from the duramax) but as i was working it went to rebend it where i wanted it and it just split. so that sucks and i ordered some 3/4 aluminum tubing. still not to sure what imma do with the suction line - want to keep most of it hard tubing.

i ordered a new oem liquid line, mostly just to replace the orifice tube/filter, and plan on trying to straighten it out and run it out of the way.


from what ive layed out, i dont think the 34" radiator is going to be any wider than the ac condenser

 

[Rocket Man]

Too much fun happening here.

 

[randeez]

This is what I got going on after un/rebending the ac line and rear heater pipes

The trailblazer accumulator picture of it is shown upside down, has a small tail on it I'm hoping it enough to mount it further into the corner, and I think the stock suction hose will still each it.

the solenoid for the chiller is going to move over in front of the tire probably, waiting on an oring tee fitting, freon path should be a lot smoother rather than making an entire down sized loop to branch off to the chiller

Should have plenty of room for dp

 

[pwtr02ss]

You had me at dp

 

[Rocket Man]

Wait, are we getting car **** and regular **** mixed up AGAIN?

 

[randeez]

theres a difference?

 

[Rocket Man]

Depends. Are you working on your truck naked today? If so, we have a saying here.

 

[randeez]

sometimes you need that third hand for assembly
