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

[NathanJax]

I like the reps in silver machine face and might do 26's if I do.

cough cough cough

 

[Fosscore]

Yes with the machine face.

I know that breaks with your style and look like the Denali, but that lighter face wheel will set the truck off even more. The black wheels on that white just appear to get lost.

Whatever you do will look good. My .02.

I got your number lol. There's a few things I'll probably do first. Gonna be a nice truck though so I know I'm looking at spending some cash on it. I still have a custom Harley I'm planning on selling that should fetch me quite a bit of mod cash. But that will be next Spring. I'll probably just run the Dubs on the CC until then since I won't be driving it much except on nice days.

Will the offset on the dubs tuck?

I have no idea. I also might have to tub the firewall from what I've read. I'll just have to see once I get the truck. Right now it seems they can't find a truck that's going coast to coast that wants to bring it to me. It's frustrating as hell.

Feel like the seller would've had something lined up and ready for sold date.

It doesn't work like that with EBay auctions, it's always "buyer responsible for shipping". Besides, it would be hard to line up a shipper when you have no idea where the truck would be going to. I should have taken one of the U-Ship quotes on the Ebay page instead of trying to save a couple hundred bucks and it would probably be on it's way. Oh well.

 

[Rocket Man]

I finally gave up on the broker I had the contract with and opted out of it. He said I probably wouldn't have any better luck but with a single phone call I found someone willing to try harder and within an hour they lined me up for a bit more cash but it will be loaded on Friday and delivered by the 14th. Looking forward to seeing what I got myself into with this truck.

Sounds like a nice early Christmas gift ;P

Thanks, it should be a nice new project. I figure that even if I need to do more to it in order to tuck some 24 or 26's it will have most of the hard work done on it like the c-notch, compressors, tanks, narrowed rear axle, bags, etc. Hopefully I'll just need to tub the firewall, maybe do some more work to the bed, etc. I know it says frame on 22's so 24's should be fairly easy. I might be ok with that. My dream would to lay rockers on 26's but I know how hard that is and it's not in the budget.

Hey Kenny, I have an idea. If you don't have something nice to say how about you stay off my build thread? Thanks.

Lighten up red. Your making plans for and talking about a truck you haven’t even laid eyes on yet. Could be the biggest, rustiest pos out there, then again it could be mint. Just bringing reality your way. Thats all man. Good luck bud.

 

[Rocket Man]

I might be screwed on buying the CC but I'm trying to stay positive. I know it was kind of crazy to buy it but oh well. I've done crazier shit and have always managed to pull out of it. At the very least it will be an adventure and possibly a lesson learned. I'll see in a week. I'll wish myself luck.

 

[HiHoeSilver]

Hang in there, just see it thru, you might get it and it be perfectly fine, then all the sweat was for nothing, it would take somebody pretty ballsy to sell a completely trashed truck for that amount, it’ll turn out good for you red. Lookin forward to seeing it on the dubs[emoji106][emoji106]

X2!

Hehe

i think it will all work out fine man. im sure you are anxious to get it on your driveway. i have never bought a vehicle out of state like that and always wondered how it works with shipping. Keep us updated. Positive vibes +++

The Silverado deal is off. It just didn't work out, it seems nobody wants to bring a truck from Jersey to Oregon so I cancelled everything and pulled the money out of escrow. It cost me a bit but that's the way it goes. I'll never find out if that was a good deal or not. I have some other things going on right now in my life too and really didn't need any more stress so it might have been a blessing. I guess eventually I'll find something to spend part of that $43k on that I got out of my totalled bagger but it won't be that truck.
