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

[Rocket Man]

I was out of pocket for a month missed the whole build but Damn good. Worth the read. Told the wife this was important she had to wait tonight.

Yesterday I replaced the front swaybar bushings with the new greaseable Energy Suspension poly ones. Not sure why the DJM one split in half- it was a poly bushing too. I also pressure washed the front wheelwells and suspension after these pics but forgot to get a shot until after the wheels were installed.

Looks great can you get a close up pic on how you routed the SS lines? think you mentioned you used the old brackets somehow

Maybe the djm one was a little thicker and tightening the bracket put too much pressure squishing it causing it to split?

Here's some from when I did the install. I just used the one bracket you can see and still needed a zip tie.

But the bushings came with the DJM swaybar so they were the correct size. Maybe it was just throwing this thing into hard corners like I do.

Today I cleaned the engine bay a bit more and sprayed it down with Chemical Guys Silk Shine. Then I decided to install the 150 A fuse on the 0 gauge cable I installed from battery positive to alternator when I did my Big 3. Just in case.

Agreed. You are building a legendary thread here, buddy.
