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

[Rocket Man]

Checked my racing equipment and brakes today like the instructions say, but nobody wanted to race me. I did scare some dudes on the sidewalk with my screaming loud exhaust though. I’ll have to get a sound clip of it driving by under throttle some day.

I'm kidding about racing; I'm not building that much HP at this time although I'm not sure what I'm getting since it hasn't been dynoed. I need a bigger fuel pump, injectors, map sensor and a 2-bar tune in order to build big enough boost. Maybe by next summer...

It is definitely a blast to drive. Just filled up and I actually got over 8 mpg on that tank. I must have been taking it easy for a change.

Doing some maintenance on the Dubs while they’re off. Paint matching is turning out to be a challenge on the machined part. It looks black from straight on but goldfish from the side so Im trying to mix some Testers in black and gold. I just need to touch up a few small chips enough so they don’t catch your eye. I’ll update it when I get it to match better. Still mixing lol. The center caps were causing chips around them from vibration so I used a black enamel Sharpie to add a black painted line on the wheel bores and the outside of the center caps. It blends in good.

Sell em and get some 26” reps.

Don't be dissin' my Dubs. I love them. Suppose you'd suggest chrome too.
Wait.... are you selling wheels now too along with some others here? Or just trying to help their cause?

I think I'll just touch up my Dubs, but thanks for looking out for me. I'm not looking to spend any more money on wheels and tires right now. I just spent six grand on brakes and winter wheels.

I like how the finish on the dubs compliment the paint. No reason to go 26 reps. I like the look of your 22s a lot and think it would be a nice compromise for my 24s. Low profile tires are a beating sometimes..
