Yukon Do It!

- MIKE SELF

TWO-DOOR SUVS OF ALL TYPES ARE PRETTY MUCH UNIVERSALLY COOL: 4RUNNERS, PATHFINDERS AND EXPLORERS WERE ALL ONCE AVAILABLE AS TWO-DOORS AND ARE NOW HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, BUT IT’S THE ’92-’99 K5 BLAZER/TAHOE/YUKON THAT HAS CAPTURED THE MOST HEARTS OVER THE YEARS. There’s just something about the OBS shorty SUV that looks perfect in all iterations, whether lifted or lowered, but admittedly we’re a little partial to the slammed variety.

Yovany Diaz’s ’96 checks all of our boxes, and it’s even an ultra-rare GMC Yukon as opposed to the more common Tahoe two-door. It took a lot of work to get the GMC to where it is today, with Yovany logging more than two years into the build, and there are lot of subtle tricks that a lot of folks might not even notice unless they’re diehard OBS fans. Things like the sectioned and tucked-in bumpers, front bumper filler delete, smooth wiper cowl and shaved roof rack (all done by Danny Macias at Dogghouse Kustoms) might not be obvious to most, but they were instrumental in cleaning up the Yukon’s lines.
