  • You can see one of two fuel tanks in back of the rear axle. This one is from a ’93 Yukon. In front of the rear axle is a ’93 Suburban fuel tank to give a 72-gallon range. Both tanks have factory pumps and senders that work perfectly with the gauge on the dash. The rear Dana 70 HD axle is packed with a Detroit Locker and 7.17 gears while a WFO disc brake setup helped the axle shed some unneeded pounds.

In both the front and rear, WFO Concepts cut, bent, and welded 1/4-inch steel plate until custom bumpers were formed.
Sixteen-inch-stroke King coilovers are mounted at each corner to suspend the truck. Shock hoops were made using 1.75-inch tubing. There are 3/4-inch rod ends just on the sway bar, proving that WFO built this truck with overkill in mind. They used Bushwacker fender flares over some careful sheetmetal trimming to fit the 44-inch Boggers on 16-inch TrailReady bead locks. We were witness to this truck fully flexing out and not hitting any sheetmetal with the tires. WFO built rock sliders for the truck in case the big Boggers don’t give enough clearance to keep it out of the rocks. Holding the rear axle are 2-inch OD links with 1.25-inch rod ends. The lower links sit almost parallel with the framerails while an upper triangle pivots between a WFO-made frame crossmember and a custom-made axle cradle. Like the front, King 16-inch-stroke 2.5 coilovers with triple-rate coils were used to suspend the rear of the truck. A subframe built by WFO Concepts replaces the rear crossmember and tire holder while giving a platform for coilover mounts and fuel tank anchoring.

The rear Dana 70 HD axle is packed with a Detroit Locker and 7.17 gears while a WFO disc brake setup helped the axle shed some unneeded pounds. On each side of the WFO skidplate, you can see the square tube angled and run down each framerail after the factory boxing (of the frame) stopped. This gives a foundation to build a subframe off of, which would hold the 2-inch (0.250 wall) suspension links that control the front Dana 60 axle. The axle is packed with 7.17 gears around an ARB locker spinning 35-spline axleshafts. Rotational power comes down the drivetrain from Tom Wood’s driveshafts that supply power from an Offroad Design NP203/NP205 double transfer case package. In front of the doubler setup is an NV4500 five-speed transmission that was swapped in place of the weaker stock NV3550. In both the front and rear, WFO Concepts cut, bent, and welded 1/4-inch steel plate until custom bumpers were formed.
