🔥 CORE VOTING — FINAL MATCHUP OF ROUND 1! 🔥
Closing out Round 1: Tod Debolt vs. Dwight Fratzke!
Tod’s ’88 Wrangler is packing a 5.3 LS, 4L60E, Dana 60 front and 14-bolt rear with 5.38 gears, linked suspension, 42-inch Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires and beadlocks. Add in a stretched wheelbase, modified cage, custom interior, MotoBilt armor, fuel cell and front and rear AntiRock sway bars, and this YJ is clearly built to travel and wheel hard. Tod has been off-roading since 1986 and has wheeled everywhere from the Badlands and Windrock to Moab and Ouray. After experiencing CORE as a co-driver last year, he’s ready to come back behind the wheel of his own rig.
VS.
And yes—your reading this next one right. A Lincoln Aviator. Dwight transformed this luxury SUV into a legitimate trail rig with a Super Duty Dana 60, Sterling 10.5, 5.38 gears, 41.5-inch Pit Bull Rockers, FOA coilovers, hydro-assist steering, custom bumpers, sliders and an exo-cage. He’s been wheeling for 12–13 years and says the camaraderie, variety of builds, different driving styles and chance to meet more off-road enthusiasts are exactly what draw him to CORE.
