The Toyota Tundra is a large pickup truck. People use it for carrying gear and towing, and it’s also used for road trips and camping because it has a lot of space in the back.
Concept
teaching responsibility as a vehicle owner
They’re saying the point of giving a kid a vehicle isn’t just to have fun—it’s to learn how to drive safely and take care of the responsibility that comes with owning a car.
Magnaflow makes aftermarket exhaust parts. In plain terms, they’re helping with an exhaust upgrade, usually to change the sound and how the exhaust system works.
“Trade it in” means you turn in your current car to the dealer to help pay for the next one. It usually lowers the amount you have to pay.
Concept
upgrade to the Raptor
Here, “upgrade to the Raptor” means switching to the higher-end Bronco model. It’s not just a small add-on—it’s a bigger purchase that changes the truck’s off-road capability.
The F-150 is a Ford pickup truck model. The podcast is talking about upgrading it to a more performance-focused version, and whether that extra cost is worth it.
Company
place performance off road
This sounds like a local off-road shop that Cody owns. Places like that usually help with upgrades for off-road driving.
Eibach is a company that makes suspension parts. “Leveling” means adjusting the suspension so the truck sits more evenly (not nose-down or nose-up), which can also help with ground clearance.
“Raptor killer” is enthusiast slang for a vehicle build intended to outperform the Ford Raptor/Raptor-family trucks in performance and/or off-road capability. It’s not a specific part—it’s a goal or bragging phrase used in modification culture.
The Bronco is an SUV made for off-road driving. The podcast is pointing out a specific Bronco that looks very dark and is described as a high-performance version.
In this context, a dealer is a retail car seller (often a franchise) that can buy, sell, and arrange financing or vehicle swaps. The host mentions the person owns multiple dealerships, implying they have flexibility to structure deals and move inventory.
The Ford Bronco Raptor is a tougher, off-road-ready version of the Bronco. It’s the kind of Bronco you’d buy if you want it to handle rough trails, not just regular roads.
A trade-in is when you give your current car to the dealer and use it to lower the price of the car you’re buying. The dealer decides what they’ll credit you for your old car.
PPF is a clear protective film that you put on a car’s paint. It helps protect the paint from scratches and rock chips, especially if you drive off-road or on rough roads.
In the context of PPF, “stealth” usually refers to a matte or satin-finish film that changes the look of the paint. Instead of glossy paint, the surface appears more muted and “flat,” which can also help reduce visible glare and minor surface imperfections.
The Ram TRX is a very powerful pickup truck known for big performance and off-road ability. They’re comparing it to the Bronco Raptor experience and saying it impressed them.
A satin wrap is a vinyl film applied over a vehicle’s paint to change the surface finish from glossy to a lower-sheen “satin” look. It’s often used to refresh the appearance, protect the original paint, or achieve a specific color/texture without repainting.
NIL means athletes can get paid for using their name and image to promote companies. Here, they’re saying the truck arrangement is tied to that kind of sponsorship deal.
The stereo system is the car’s audio setup—things like speakers and the main audio unit. They’re saying they removed/gave away the stereo, which affected the deal.
Fender flares are the extra “wings” around the wheel wells. They help cover wider tires and reduce how much mud and rocks get kicked up toward the truck.
“Raptor suspension” means the Bronco Raptor’s off-road suspension setup. It’s designed to soak up rough terrain so the tires can keep traction instead of bouncing around.
Mounting points are the spots on the truck where parts like the suspension attach. The hosts are saying the Raptor has stronger/changed attachment locations, not just extra parts added on top.
“Gauge” here refers to the thickness of steel used in structural components. Increasing steel gauge (thicker material) improves strength and stiffness, which is important when you’re upgrading an off-road truck to handle higher loads.
“Bolt on” means you can install a part with bolts and brackets, without cutting and welding the truck. They’re saying the Raptor needs more than just bolt-on upgrades.
A twin-turbo V6 is a V6 engine that uses two turbochargers to make more power. The turbos help the engine feel stronger when you accelerate, which is useful both on-road and off-road.
Ground clearance is how much space there is between the ground and the bottom of the vehicle. More clearance helps the truck avoid scraping its underside on bumps and rough trails.
“Fso 125” is a vehicle model being discussed for its performance and safety. The podcast mentions it sits a bit higher than some others and gives a number around 12.5 seconds, which is likely a timing result related to how fast it can do something.
Upper control arms are parts that help hold the front wheels in the right position. If you upgrade them, the truck can handle bumps and rough roads more confidently.
Suspension components are the parts that connect the wheels to the truck and help it absorb bumps. Changing them can make the truck handle rough trails better.
Here, “geometry” means the suspension’s angles and setup. If you change it, the tires can sit and move differently, which changes how the truck drives off-road.
The Ford F-150 is mentioned as the first truck that kicked off the Raptor idea. The hosts are using it as a reference point for how the Raptor lineup developed.
A “rock crawler” setup is meant for slow, technical trails where you need the wheels to move and grip over rocks. It’s different from setups tuned for faster desert driving.
“Baja racer type of suspension” means suspension tuned for desert racing—going fast over rough ground. It focuses on staying stable when you hit bumps at speed.
The Ford Ranger Raptor is also an off-road truck, but it’s tuned for going fast over rough ground. Think “race-style” suspension for open desert driving, not just slow rock crawling.
A four inch lift means the truck is raised higher off the ground. People do it so the tires fit better and the vehicle can handle rough terrain more easily.
“40s” is shorthand for 40-inch off-road tires. Bigger tires help with obstacle clearance and traction in mud/sand, but they also affect steering feel, gearing, and ride quality.
Bigger tires are larger than stock tires. They can help off-road, but they can also make the truck feel different on pavement—like steering and braking.
An off-roader is a vehicle built for rough, unpaved roads. They’re wondering if the Bronco Raptor is only meant for trails, or if it still makes sense for everyday driving.
Off-road events are organized driving experiences where owners are taken through controlled trails and obstacles. They often include instruction from engineers or instructors, plus demonstrations of how the vehicle behaves in different off-road conditions.
“Goat modes” is a nickname for different settings that change how the truck drives off-road. You pick the mode that matches the terrain so the truck grips and responds the way you need.
A rock-climbing section is a part of the off-road course where the route goes over rocks and steep, uneven ground. It’s meant to show how the vehicle handles traction and control at low speeds.
An off-road driving school is a class where you learn how to drive on dirt and rough terrain. They often provide a truck already set up for it, so you can practice without damaging your own car.
“Prepped” means the vehicles are prepared in advance for the event. In this case, they’re ready for off-road driving, so you don’t have to beat up your own truck.
The Dodge Challenger is a sports car designed for fast driving. In the podcast, it’s mentioned to show that it’s a different kind of vehicle than a rugged off-road truck.
Topic
Bronco Afrodio
“Bronco Afrodio” sounds like a Ford Bronco event or driving experience. They’re comparing different versions/locations of it and how long each one takes.
Monterey Car Week is a big yearly car event in California. Here, it’s mentioned as the place where they met Ford executives before doing another driving trip.
Concept
high speed Raptor version
They’re talking about driving the off-road truck faster than usual. The “Raptor version” means the truck is set up to stay stable and controlled when the road gets bumpy and you’re going quicker.
A twin turbocharger setup uses two turbochargers to increase engine airflow and help produce more power. In practice, it can improve responsiveness across different engine speeds compared with a single turbo, but it also means more complex parts and shop time when components are replaced or installed.
“Rat rod” is a style where a car looks intentionally rough and worn, like it has character. People do it on purpose to create a gritty, custom look rather than making it look brand new.
Patina refers to the natural aging and surface changes a vehicle gets over time—like discoloration, oxidation, and wear. In custom builds, patina can also be intentionally created to give a “lived-in” look.
Term
hiding the pipe
“Hiding the pipe” means they routed a modified tube so it’s not sticking out where it could get hit. They’re also trying to make it look cleaner and fit better in the garage.
Term
held pressure
“Held pressure” means the setup didn’t leak. They’re basically confirming the install is sealed well before using it more.
They’re talking about garage space—how tall it is and where things can be routed. The modification has to fit without hitting the ceiling or walls.
Term
lever rack
A “lever rack” here appears to be a garage storage/organization setup (likely a rack system) that the speaker can see in the background. While not a specific car part, it’s part of the described garage environment where the modification work is being done.

When I found out I was gonna be a parent,
I immediately felt a lot of anxiety and worry.
So I went on to BetterHelp to try to look for a therapist
to help me with that.
My relationship with my family and with my boyfriend

I really needed help.
I was ruminating a lot,
really getting those thoughts out to a therapist

How are you doing?
What's new?
Hell of a weekend, man.
Mother's Day.
Yeah.
You saw it was Gage's birthday.
Yeah.
And, you know, since I spoke to you
and I went to that signing down in South Texas,
I've been trying to make this thing happen
to surprise Gage, right?
Yeah.
And it's just been, I mean, it's been a whirlwind.
It's been a lot of fun, but man, it's a taxing.
So I apologize.
I have not all with it right now
because I've been scrambling.
Yeah.
And to the end of the day,
we got a great freaking vehicle for Gage,
I believe, and he's ecstatic,
and now I can kind of read the site release.
Was Gage in town this weekend or?
Yeah.
He was.
Okay.
So he came in for his birthday and for Mother's Day,
and you've been working on surprising him.
He had a Bronco, right?
You got a Bronco a few years ago,
and we talked about it.
There was a few mods on it.
You kept the power the same.
It was kind of a first car,
and you had a few mods and stuff on it,
but you were looking to upgrade that.
Now, at one point you were thinking TRX, but...
Well, I'll tell you the whole story.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I wanted to be at the great dad,
Gage's first car, first Bronco reimagined, right?
So the 2021, 22, I can't remember.
So we got him a Sasquatch version, whatever.
Yeah, that's cool.
I didn't care about the power or the lack thereof
because it's his first vehicle.
Yeah.
I don't want him to be able to blow the tires
off the damn thing.
It's more about teaching responsibility
as a vehicle owner.
I was just about to say.
Yeah, you have.
As cool as he wants it to be,
it's all about safety in the beginning, no matter what.
So we hooked him up with that Bronco.
Absolutely loved it.
Throughout the years, we've done a number of things,
whether it's Richard Weydus and Magnaflow
hooking us up with the exhaust or the wheels and tires
from Nitto, you know, kicker jumped on board.
See, that's where I kind of screwed up.
Let me finish the story.
So Gage has been in Colorado for three years,
the local Ford dealership, you know, you know,
car guys, right?
So they always try, hey, see your Bronco there.
You know, we'll give me a great deal if you trade it in
and we'll hook you up with NIL.
Well, they're all full of shit.
And they don't realize quite obviously,
it's been a, it's been a fun journey,
but it's been a struggle as you can see on me.
So Gage had the Bronco, they're tempting him with an NIL deal
and, you know, we'll fill in the blanks and you pay us X amount
to upgrade to the, to the Raptor.
Well, you know how I am about wasting money, right?
If you can do it yourself, then in, especially in the car world,
I'm going to do it.
So the plan was for him to come home.
I was going to ship out my TRX, the 21,
the black one that I drive every day,
and he was going to ship his Bronco to me.
And a buddy of mine, a kid named Cody,
owns a place performance off road here in town.
He's got a flippin' Raptor on 40s.
And I mean, it's the, it's got the, the Eibach, you know, leveling.
I mean, the thing is completely over the top, but it's awesome, right?
And so he's kind of hooking us up with ideas and this and that along the way.
And so I brought his out here, fully playing into this hiding the Bronco
from Gage thing.
I brought him, I had him bring it by on Saturday to show Gage
because the plan was for me to ship the TRX, for me to get his 21 or 22
and build that sum bitch up to a Raptor killer, right?
Like a Raptor on juice, man.
So, and I thought that was a great idea and it would be fun and be great to content.
You know, we could build him something even better than what the Raptor is.
Yeah.
Do I really want to give him a seven hunt or no, a 900 horsepower TRX in the
meantime?
Yeah.
Do I want to take it upon myself to try to reinvent the wheel and make something
better than what's already being made by, by rap by Ford.
Yeah, with the Raptor.
So, so I flew down to South Texas and I did a signing at the Acura dealership.
And when I land, there's a fricking black on black Raptor Bronco right there at the
Acura dealership.
And ironically, I was speaking to my very good friend, Bill Bird, who owns Bird
Imports here in town, and he owns Mark Motors, which Mark Motors has.
You've mentioned them before.
Unbelievable lineup of super cars and it changes like monthly because we were in
there the other day.
So long story short, I'm talking to him on the flight down about trying to work some
kind of a deal because he's a dealer.
He owns four or five dealerships.
I know that things can be done.
So I talked to him about marketing and trading out this and that.
So it was ironic that when we landed, there's one Bronco there, a Raptor, exactly like
what I wanted, whether it's serendipitous or planned.
It was like a trade in or something at the Acura dealers.
So OK.
4,000 miles on it.
OK.
Brand new.
It was new.
So we do the signing.
They prep the Raptor.
We drive the Raptor back to the airport.
Right.
And I'm in love with it.
And my mind's just going.
So Bill, I don't want to show my cards, right?
Nor does he.
And we came back and four or five days later, I asked him to think about it.
And then I picked up the phone and called him and, you know, broke character there.
You know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I showed it in my hand and he's a great dude.
Absolutely fabulous human being.
And he says, you know, this is all great.
And I had a great idea of how we could, how we could do this.
But we sold the Raptor.
Yeah, I'm working on trying to get you another one.
Gage's birthday is not till the 10th of June.
And I said, you really misunderstood me because it's the 10th of May.
And that was three days away.
Yeah.
And this was last Wednesday when I talked to him.
So it was four days away.
And he got on the phone and he did his thing.
And to make a very long story short, he found a white on white at,
at wholesale auction up in Houston.
Okay.
Picked up the vehicle, picked up the phone, called me.
And they got it delivered on Saturday.
So Gage was, Gage was here.
So they got it delivered on Friday.
And Gage goes up to, to Austin during the week,
two hour drive from here, leaves every morning trains,
gets back at two o'clock in the afternoon.
So I had a great window to go get it and hide it over here.
Although I was trying to think of so many different ways to present this to him.
I was going to put it down at the, at the range.
We were going to be at his high school, you know, where he trained,
where he runs daily.
So we know when he's going to be there.
So we're going to put it in a parking lot.
I mean, do you hide it in that?
I don't know.
I didn't know what to do.
I mean, you have 200 acres on the property.
You could hide it pretty much anywhere.
But Mark motors, three hours detailing it.
So I don't want to leave it outside.
I don't want the long horns to rub up against it.
I mean, you know, there's, there's a lot of options,
but at the end of the day, there's only so many I can really pick.
Sure.
Oh, um, so, uh, the window on Friday that I had,
the tag didn't come in.
The tag wasn't in yet.
Okay.
I would have had to take it with dealer plates and I, I didn't want to,
I don't, I don't want to do that to bill.
And, um,
so I'd missed my opportunity that day to go pick it up.
Cause I needed to ride down.
I needed to bring it back.
I need to be able to hide it without him seeing me.
So Saturday morning comes along and he doesn't go to Austin
because it's weekend, right?
Yeah.
He's fiddle farting around the house at the pool doing this.
I'm just stressed now because I got 24 hours, right?
Um, to do whatever I'm going to do.
So to culminate the story, um,
we went the dealer plate route and when he left here to go downtown
to his high school to run, Wanda and I hauled ass to the dealership.
And we picked it up and came back here and I put it in the wash bay.
And I covered it with two car covers just to completely cover the white
because if he saw a car cover in there on that was hiding,
and that didn't show, if he saw a vehicle that was completely
covered, he would think it was my TRX, right?
But the TRX was parked outside.
He didn't take note of it.
So anyway, uh, it's the cars here.
It's Saturday night, Clint comes over, we're working out and I,
I'm flipped out, man.
I want to tell this kid so bad.
I even asked Wanda if we could give it to him on Saturday.
And she's like, absolutely not.
We're not doing it.
I'm like, well, it gives him another day to drive the vehicle.
And she wouldn't fall for it.
So we're upstairs working out and I can't stand it anymore.
And so Bill sent me a picture of the Bronco.
Did I send it to you?
No, no, you didn't send me the picture of the Bronco,
but I saw your post.
That's how I knew this was happening.
But Bill sent me a picture of the Bronco and we're up working out.
And I'm like, well, you know what?
Do me a favor.
Show me a picture of, if you could get a raptor tomorrow,
show me a picture.
It was exactly the same truck.
Exactly.
White, white top, white fenders, you don't paint it to match the body.
And, uh,
That's what Gage was thinking about.
Like,
He showed me the picture.
And then I said, Cody's got, Cody's got a white one.
How about this one?
And I showed him a picture of his truck.
And, and he goes, yeah, man, that's cool.
And I'm like, oh, thank God.
So we finished working out.
He goes to the house.
I wait till he goes to bed.
I come up here one 30 in the morning.
I put it in the middle of the garage.
I put the red, white, and blue flag hero cover over it and completely,
you know,
made it disappear.
And then we get up in the morning.
Wanda had given up the fact that Mother's Day,
we celebrated that on Saturday and we were going to celebrate Gage's
birthday on Sunday.
So right when we got up,
we pulled this kid out of bed.
And we all got on the four wheelers because the flowers that I got Wanda
were too big for me to be able to carry to the flipping house.
So I put them here at the garage.
So that was the excuse to get Gage up there.
We wanted to get Mom her flowers.
Yeah.
Get out of bed.
Let's go get Mom flowers.
I opened up the garage door and I had placed, I had planned it.
I put the Patriot cruise shirts,
like a stack of the new shirts that he got in on the ground,
like two steps away from the door to put his eyes on the ground.
Yeah.
And on top of that, I put the key fob and on top of the key fob was
the little tag that said 2026 white raptor.
And he looks at it and he goes, what?
It takes a couple of steps in and he looks up and he sees,
you know, the car cover and he, he flipped out, man.
It was, it was.
Wait, was Wanda still in the house waiting for your flowers?
No, she was here.
We.
Um,
because I know she wanted to see it, but if the, if the,
if the ruse was, let's go get flowers for Mom. How does.
They were right there.
They were right there, right?
We walked in and she flowers,
but we didn't have time to divert his attention.
It was solely on that, that vehicle. So, um, yeah, he was,
he was over the moon, man.
I mean, he's not a kid that, that overly is excited about anything.
So I mean, he kind of, you know, did the cool thing, but, uh,
he, he loves it, man. And quite obviously you saw the video.
It's been nonstop since we got it or since he got it.
I let him drive it once and then boom yesterday, we took it down to,
we took it down to, uh, uh,
expel and dropped it off for three, for, for two weeks to get, uh,
PPF gets stealth on it. So it's going to be flat white.
Okay. Cause I saw you put it up there.
Here we go. Let's see what we got here. I don't think you'll get the audio,
but we're going to take a quick look at, uh, Goldberg's garage, Instagram.
They went to bat for you that accurate dealer, huh?
Dude, they were fabulous.
Not only was the signing absolutely unreal.
They just ran it like clockwork and it's something they've never done.
Uh, they were just so gracious.
It was just the nicest people. And usually when you do a signing,
you have to kind of coach the people along, you know, that are doing it.
And these people just, they, they, they just cared about,
they just cared about putting smiles on people's faces, man. And, uh,
it was an awesome deal. It really was.
And for them to do what they did,
they pulled all the strings to make this happen.
So this is, they found the truck for you, but it was,
so it has some miles on it. It's technically.
Yeah. Yeah. It's technically, it's used, but it's got 700 miles on it.
Um, okay. So we can see it in the background. It looks great, by the way.
So it's white with the white fenders, but,
but the vent on the hood's still black. So it's not like it's totally white out.
No, thank God. Yeah. That's good. Which, by the way, I, I,
I, I, it's one point you're probably kind of biting your tongue,
but right in your lip because black is your thing and gauges like now I'm all white,
which I get, I like white too, but I, I like black and I don't know.
It's like, it's a little, it's a little out of the Goldberg character,
but a little bit.
It's cool.
It's funny you say that because, uh, I was driving down to expel yesterday
and I drove the Raptor and, um, I, on the way back,
you know, Clint followed me in my TRX and on the way back, I'm like,
you know what, man, I gotta be honest, that was a great truck.
I really like it.
It's a definite upgrade from what Gage had, but I ain't a white guy.
I mean, I can't drive this.
I feel like I'm glowing when I'm driving down the road.
So, I mean, it's shooter preference.
Everybody's got their own thing.
I got 15 freaking black cars, but yeah, I couldn't do the white.
No way.
Yeah.
Uh, so, so expel, they're going to, they're going to do the,
a satin wrap on it to give it kind of a satin white finish.
I maybe tint the windows and stuff.
I don't know if that's been done on it yet.
Uh, just to kind of cosmetically get it dialed in.
Um, but so did you trade his Bronco for this?
Where's his, his Bronco traded in it?
Oh yeah, his bro, so we traded his Bronco.
I told them all the stuff that had been done to it, you know, the wheels,
the tires, the bumpers, the lights, you know, uh, Jesus rigid.
I mean, there's five grand worth of lighting on that thing.
And then kicker came in and put a $5,000 or $4,500 stereo system in it.
Yeah.
And I mean, it's got the rat, the, uh, wrap from expel.
I mean, the thing's in really good condition and it's Gages.
And it's got my name on the fricking title, right?
So I mean, it's not like you can't charge maybe two or three more bucks for it.
And I'll fly, I'd fly down to the dealership and hand the keys to the new owner.
Um, that's the type of relationship I have with these people because they really
went to bat for me.
Um, now granted, I have a great relationship with the owner of the dealership,
but they don't have to do that.
They, they really do.
And, and I saw that they actually treated everybody that way.
Um, the short time that I, the five hours that I was there, I mean,
there was just a wonderful atmosphere.
It's, it's how car dealerships used to be, you know, um, and I,
I, I can't be more thankful.
And then you, you look at the video, um, my mind just started going.
I'm like, okay, what can we do to this thing?
What can I, cause it's going to be here for a month.
Um, yeah, but is there things on gauges Bronco that you,
you want to take off and put on the new Bronco?
There's, there isn't anything.
No, because for me, it was, uh, you know how sponsors are, right?
Realistically, I'm giving them another opportunity to advertise their product on
a much nicer vehicle, right?
So like Ben Pag did with me when I moved out from, from California,
I asked them about coming and picking up the lifts and they said,
just leave them.
We'll get you new ones.
Yeah.
It's a, it's another opportunity for them to advertise their product.
But as, as a very, uh, gracious recipient of all of this cool stuff,
I mean, I feel guilty as hell.
When I did the deal with gauges Bronco, I could have kicked myself
because he just got that $4,500 deal from kicker and that's an NIL deal.
Yeah.
And I screwed it up for him cause I gave his stereo system away,
but I'm not going to tell my buddy, yeah, let me be yank the stereo system
out of the whole thing and then I'll give you the truck.
So I got on the horn immediately and got a hold of kicker and told them
what the situation was because, you know, Hey, we did this NIL with this kid.
We gave him a bad ass stereo system and the dumb ass traded it in on a, you know,
and he didn't even think of us.
I didn't want them to think that was the case.
Cause it, it was me.
And, uh, within five minutes, man, they're like, okay, what's he need?
We're going to do the same thing to his Bronco or to his Raptor.
Um, so it just shows what kind of company there.
Yeah.
Well, and gauges figuring out, which, you know, you, you've taught them this
over the years is what he does for his end of the bargain.
How does he support kicker and everybody else, right?
And he's, he's been great with that too, by the way, on his social media and
what he's been doing and whatever support he has to do locally.
And that's, that's the part of it, but you're right.
Like the thing that people don't realize is, you know, at SEMA shows and all
these events and all these builds and things that I've built and you've built
over the years, there's kind of a commitment and a life cycle to some of
these builds and then you move on to another build.
And, you know, the, the expectancy from a lot of those companies is roughly
like a year of, of, of stuff.
Like let's talk about it.
Let's take it to events.
Let's do what we need to do with the vehicle and you for that year.
I like to stretch it out a little longer than that.
Roughly 18 months kind of is for me in my head.
I always want to do more.
Um, and in some cases, if you keep the vehicle, it's, it's years, but
vehicles get changed out, you know, new projects, you know, it's time to move
on to a new project, you know, things like that.
So it's, um, it's, uh, it's common, right?
And these, a lot of the sponsors think about that kind of stuff and go, you
know, we had fun together.
What's next?
Yeah.
I get it.
A thousand percent.
And, but still I've got that Jewish guilt thing, right?
And I don't like taking advantage of any opportunity, no matter how big or small
that it is.
And I just want them to understand, you know, and that one was a little quick
because the kicker thing was fairly new and, and this just kind of worked out.
But look, you did the right thing.
You called him up and you said, this is on me brother.
Like he doesn't even know this is happening.
You know, I, I, I traded, I took his truck and I traded it in.
He still doesn't know, you know, what, what, what can I do?
What can I do there?
Yeah.
I think it was an, I mean, an easily understandable situation.
Yeah.
All right.
So we're looking at the photo of it.
It's, it's cool.
It's a badass truck.
I drove the Bronco Raptor and it's, it's fun.
It really is fun to drive.
Now that you've gotten a little seat time in it and compared to the regular Bronco,
yeah, you get the Raptor suspension and the fender flares and stuff.
But when I got to talk to some of the engineers on this, the things that they did,
because you were saying, Hey, can we take a Bronco and beef it up to Raptor spec in theory?
But there are lots of things on just like frame and mounting points and increased a gauge
of steel, like a thicker steel components and stuff, things that you can bolt on all
sorts of suspension pieces and kind of beef things up.
But the, but the base structure where the frame is and stuff, there's some, there's
some modifications done to the truck that you don't, you wouldn't be able to really do
on the Bronco.
So starting now with the Raptor as the benchmark is, is a better place to start.
So I think it was worth it.
Oh yeah.
And it saved me a shitload of time.
You know, I mean, I think it was definitely the right thing to do.
And there's no question that Gage will get his hands on it much sooner than he would
if I was to build it.
And then I don't have to worry about him driving a 800, 900 horsepower TRX all the time.
And, you know, I'll reference the new power plant.
I guess it's a twin turbo V six in the Raptor with 415 horsepower.
And, you know, you always wonder when you get behind the wheel of something that, you
know, if it's going to be safe and you take it to its edge and see if it's right hand over
to your 20 year old son.
And yeah, see, I mean, he, he, he, he does whatever he needs to do with kicker and all
of his sponsors.
It's a really cool deal.
But I drove it and drove about 50 miles and it's not overpowered by any stretch of
imagination.
Right.
It's right where it needs to be for him.
It's got a little bit of get up and go to where he can get from point A to point B.
And if he gets in the situation, he can, he can get out of it.
What, what I like the best about it is not only is it on, you know, 37s, but I guess it's
eight inches wider than the original.
Yeah.
It's as wide as an F 150 Raptor shorter.
It makes a huge difference.
It makes it look kind of goofy a tiny bit, but it also accentuates it and makes it kind
of cool in a way.
But functionally, it's so much more of a better track than, than gauges.
It's, it's no comparison.
It's safety wise.
It's much, but even though it's, it's up in the air a little bit more, it's got 12.5s
on it or 12.50s on it.
And I put 13.5, oh, whatever, you know, from the net.
Oh, yeah.
So let's talk about, you're going to do a few models.
You talked about doing the wrap on it.
That was just great because if you're going to go any sort of off-roading,
let alone just on the street, because he's going to take it back to Colorado,
right?
Once it's done.
What else are you guys going to do?
What are you thinking?
We're talking to, to Richard, you know, he's obviously going to push the
Canberg stuff.
So we got upper control red up front, upper control arms.
We know immediately that they have for that vehicle.
Magnet flows to get an exhaust for it.
I'm going to be putting that on.
And I reached out to, to Mitto and, you know, they're going to hook us up with
37, 13.5, 17s.
And we're working on the wheels right now.
Okay.
And kickers going to do their thing.
And what else we got going?
So Cam, Camberg, the suspension company was purchased by Magnaflow a
little while ago.
Jerry, who is the Camber guy, is a Camber guy.
He's fantastic.
And Richard, Wade is at Magnaflow.
They also are doing their podcasts together.
I went down and I was a guest on their podcast.
And they've had some great guests and they had a really, they have a really
fun show there.
And Jerry's great.
So taking the suspension components from Camberg, which is under the
Magnaflow umbrella, along with the Magnaflow exhaust.
I think the control arms that you're talking about does kind of change the
geometry a little bit.
It's got a little bit more travel allows for, you know, the larger tires that
you're talking about.
I mean, I guess you're still going to run the 37s, but it should be a nice,
a nice little addition to it, especially when you're, when you're going off road.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't think there's any question.
I think it's going to be a great upgrade.
The, you know, when you think of sort of the Raptor lineup, the F-150, which
kind of started it all, and then the Bronco Raptor was kind of designed as
like you're saying, it's not going to win any real drag races out there, but
it was meant to be more of the rock crawler type of thing.
Whereas the Ranger Raptor was that suspension tuned to be more of like,
like a, like sort of a wide open, like Baja racer type of suspension,
different than the Bronco.
And I've driven them both.
So it's, you know, a little different, but, but very, very cool.
Oh yeah.
So the picture I just sent you is Cody's from Performance Off-Road and
that's got the Eibach leveling or the, the Eibach, I think it's a four inch lift
and it's riding on 40s.
Look at that.
And yes, if that was, if this white Raptor was mine, that's more of what
mine would look like.
Right.
I can see that for sure.
I kind of dig the camo on it.
You know, there's that cool kind of like white camo.
I'm not saying you have to do that, but the white camo is kind of a cool look as well.
It's kind of the white with like shades of light gray.
Yeah.
It's called Arctic.
Yeah.
I've seen it.
It'd be cool.
I just, I'd be super stating the X-Vel wrap.
Yeah.
Right.
This looks good with the kind of the bronze wheels on it too.
Yeah.
It gives it a pop of color.
Just gives it, just.
It does.
I think the thing is, but it's pretty immaculate.
It's really sweet.
Yeah.
It sits well.
That thing.
It sits great.
Yeah.
It sits great on 40s.
I'm curious though, like with the lift and the bigger tires, does it, does it really
just change the on-road dynamics of it?
Is this strictly an off-roader?
You know, like.
Oh, that's his daily.
Yeah.
You know, I'm now, he doesn't have far to travel to and from, but I mean, I, I'm going
to tell you the answer because I want to ride in it.
I'll get a ride in it this week because I just want more ideas, you know, for gauge.
I'm using gauge as a conduit to building a Raptor from.
Yeah.
Pretty funny.
I got another thought too.
Let's just take a quick break.
We'll be right back.

Hey campers, it's Jan from Toyota.
This summer we're headed to Camp Toyota and the fun starts now.
We're kicking things off by kicking up mud.
Jump in campers.
We're going off-roading in a forerunner.
Next, we're heading to the hot springs in a RAV4.
And finally, park your Tundras and Tacomas around the campfire because we're roasting
marshmallows.
Your summer start here.
Dealer in between may vary, so you're participating Toyota Dealer for details at Ben and Street
first.
Toyota, let's go places.
Okay, so the other thing on the Bronco Raptor, I don't know if you guys have done this yet
but or how it's going to work with the one you bought, but Ford has those Bronco off-road
events.
There's Utah, I think Texas.
I went to one in Tennessee and Nevada and when you buy the Raptor or any Bronco, you
get an invitation for one person and you can pay a little bit and get two people to go.
I don't know because it's technically used and it's got 700 miles.
Does that invitation transfer like if the original owner didn't use it, do you guys
get it?
If not, you can pay to go to it, but cool events, you get to, it's almost like going
to the Radford School of Racing, but it's the off-road version, right?
You speak to some of the engineers, they walk you through the vehicles, they explain the
different goat modes of it and then they kind of take you off-road.
There's lunch and catering and all this really nice stuff.
They make a nice day out of it and then you go off-road and they show you, they're like,
hey, we're going to get to this section and we're going to show you, we're going to do
some rock climbing in this section.
Get in your Bronco and let's do this and then we're going to do a high-speed section.
We're going to do whatever.
It's a cool program.
You can imagine, it's really just going to the racing school version, but for trucks.
However, Nevada, just outside of Vegas, not like out by Red Rock, that's the only one
where they have the Bronco Raptor, and that particular school, which I did, also has,
because they do the Raptors, part of the program is a little like high-speed, like
ultra-four off-road, like you go downhill and you hit the turn and it kind of banks
up in the dirt and you start, you know, it's a cool program and I think that you guys
together, you engage, so the program would be, you don't have to bring your own Raptor.
If you bought a Bronco or a Bronco Raptor, you get the invitation or you can just pay
to go to it and the vehicles are there, they're prepped, so you use their vehicles.
You don't have to thrash on your own vehicle.
There might be a way to bring your own vehicle, but why?
Right? You thrashed on their vehicle, for sure.
Yeah, it'd be like taking your Challenger and a Raptor.
Right, right, like why do that?
They got Challenger's there.
Those things are getting beat on.
So you pay a little extra.
I don't know what the school costs normally, but if you get the invitation
because you bought it, adding a second person's like $795 and then you do the program
together and you get to ride, you share a vehicle.
So you go, we're going to do some off-roading and then you can switch drivers.
And that way, like two vehicles or you get more drive time if you do two vehicles,
but also like you're just sitting in your truck alone for hours.
You know, like it's more fun to talk about it and have a good time
and make it an experience together.
So I went and did it when they first opened the Nevada one.
I was invited out there and I did it.
We did sort of a, for the media, we did sort of a condensed version.
You're out there for a few hours.
We literally just fly out there.
When did we fly out there?
We'd get up in the morning, we'd drive out to the desert,
I'd meet at the Bronco Afrodio, do the whole thing and then fly home.
So we got sort of a mini version.
So the one that you guys do is a little bit longer.
So I went and did it.
And then I think eight months later or something, we went to Monterey Car Week
and we were talking with Ford CEO Jim Farley and he was like,
after Monterey, I'm grabbing my son and we're doing like a road trip.
And and he went there too.
So he went, did it.
He's like, dude, we just did the Bronco Afrodio, but we did the Vegas one
first so we can do the high speed Raptor version of it.
And it's kind of it's fun.
So I'm just trying to think of like if you guys.
It's a time constraint.
Don't think too hard.
He can't do anything.
He's a division one football player.
Those kids.
Yeah, that that's a tough one before school starts, even for God's sake,
just to train.
So it's just tough to get away for him.
That's the problem.
If it's not the 21st of May, it's it's almost impossible.
Yeah, but it I what I was saying is you should check to see if if gauge
qualifies with when you guys bought the vehicle, do you qualify for that program?
Is is one person at least comped in it and then you get like two years to do it
under that, you know, and have it be comped.
And then, you know, it's it's a weekend trip at some point.
You know, but it's it's it's fine.
Look, it's it's another thing to go.
Hey, listen, I would love to go to the Radford School, bring my kid, you know,
like I'm sure you guys would love to do that and will at some point.
If you haven't already, I don't think he just gone to Radford, right?
No. Good.
Start the dirt first before you before you hit the paint of it to go
through the high speed stuff.
So how is how is Wanda with all of this?
You know, oh, she's ecstatic.
She's she's just happier than a pig in shit.
I mean, it's for us to be able to do this for our boy.
It's it's just awesome.
And I couldn't get it done without all the people who who help out, you know,
all the sponsors, Bill Burton, the dealership down in Rio Grande Valley.
And it was a it's humbling to to see all these people jump in.
And, you know, I got two texts this morning.
Hey, you need wheels.
Hey, you need this.
I mean, OK, I got some great sponsors and there's some great people out there.
So we all very happy.
Yeah, that's good.
It's good to have friends like that that want to come in and jump on board
and support the whole thing.
And Gage is, you know, Gage is a good kid.
He deserves it.
But he was he went back home already.
Oh, no, here until the 21st.
Oh, so he's there for the 21st.
So when does he take the truck back?
We don't know.
I mean, it's all completely dependent upon when these parts come in and everything.
I planned it properly.
I gave it to Expell immediately.
That's where it's going to take the longest.
It's not like you can send a vehicle there for a full, you know,
PPF and say, you know, can you get it done in two days?
They've got I was sitting in their office yesterday listening to people come in
and try to schedule appointments and it ain't that easy.
Right. And so what I've been able to do is they took in the twin turbo charger
a week ago and they kicked that one out of the space and put Gage's Bronco in.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, because there's no rush on the twin turbo charger, not like this.
Absolutely not. No rush whatsoever.
And there's no real rush, you know, for Gages,
but it would be neat to be able to get it out there as soon sooner than later.
So Expell that our headquarters is is local to you.
So drop the truck off there while other stuff is being shipped out.
Like, you know, Richard Wayes can get an exhaust and suspension parts
in the mail pretty quickly and Harry can send the tires and the tires out.
And by the time all of that stuff's arrived, you know, I'll have the stuff
that we're going to mount by the time the truck gets back from Expell.
And then the the period of time between then and when we ship it is dependent
upon what I have access to and ultimately what he wants.
Because if he wants it immediately, then I can, you know,
postpone the other stuff till later.
Kicker, obviously, is going to be done out in Boulder.
OK. He doesn't have to deal with the local local guy there.
Yeah, because they're in Oklahoma.
Kicker, they're still in Oklahoma.
Yeah, believable.
An hour and a half from where I grew up and I was speaking to them
and they sent me an invite to come out and Gage actually plays in Stillwater.
They play Oklahoma State during the year.
So I may take that opportunity to in person thank them.
You know, I mean, that's about 10 or the stereo stuff that they did for publicity.
So Aaron Hagar has had a long, wonderful relationship with Kicker.
And I've been with him at SEMA and stuff where he's, you know,
been nice enough to introduce me to everyone on the team over there.
And what a fantastic group.
So if you get out to Stillwater, I think like in their lobby,
they have they have like his rat rod Red Voodoo.
It's kind of a hodgepodge of things, very, very interesting.
You'll look at it and go, not my style, but you'll appreciate
what Aaron has done just as an artist, just like welding and and and making it
look sort of rat rod style kind of thing, but with Kicker's involvement.
So it's a cool, I'm pretty sure Red Voodoo is still there.
Red Voodoo, when Aaron put it together, you know, it was an art piece.
Like like he did this thing with a wax.
He was like melting a wax and and putting it on for the cover,
like the patina areas, like it's because that's what Aaron is.
Aaron is just a phenomenal artist.
And he was in like entertainment, like set building and stuff as well.
So now he just does these amazing paintings and and drawings.
So Pete Shaporas, when he was around doing the podcast with us,
he went and got Red Voodoo and I don't know, he got it or he like drove it
or something, and then he went over to Aaron.
He's like, you're never driving that thing again.
He's like, I can't.
It could kind of just let you be in that thing.
He's like, you need to bring it to my shop right away.
Like if you're going to actually drive this thing anywhere, you you need to bring it here.
So I think Pete had started and did some things on it.
And then Aaron needed it back for a show.
And then when Pete passed away,
Pete Junior, PC three is it's going to go back
to to SoCal and get it finished up.
But all to to Pete's plan, Pete knew what he wanted to do.
He's like, we need to change the things here.
He's like, I love to put one of my frames underneath it so it stops
so it drives so it turns and it's a cool piece.
But I don't even know if it has rear brakes on it.
It's one of those funky things.
But I think it'd be great to to go out and visit
kicker if you make a back out to to.
Oh, I love I absolutely love to.
I got to put it on the list.
Yeah.
So, you know, other than gauge playing Oklahoma State,
why would go back to Oklahoma?
But, you know, there you go.
Yeah, right.
And I want to switch gears.
Yeah.
Remember, I was putting my air compressor lines in.
Yeah.
You got it done.
You got it done.
Finished last night about two in the morning.
Yeah.
Two in the morning.
Yeah, up on the scissor lift at about 130
I was yawning to the point where I thought I was going to wake up on that
scissor lift.
Well, last Wednesday, when we were doing the podcast,
we wrapped it because the mechanics for coming to fix the scissor lift.
So you don't get trapped up there again.
Yes.
And they were.
I can't even remember the name of the company, but man,
they were absolutely fabulous.
Switched the batteries out, switched the power, the power switch.
It had a short and a power switch.
Yeah.
Thank God we fixed that.
And so when they left, it was absolutely good to go.
And I was like a kid in the candy store.
I was up and down on that damn thing, you know, for hours.
And then I had a couple of responsibilities.
Went to the car show with Richard Rollins.
And yeah, and we did that.
And then yesterday, I'm literally waiting at the door for the UPS guide
to get the union.
I was missing one union, right?
I had every single pipe up cut cut to size.
Everything I thought was tightened down and secured in.
Obviously, once you turn that thing on, you need to do it with very low pressure.
So if it has a leak, it doesn't blow something out.
Like Clint Voight's eardrums.
One of the one of the manifolds wasn't secured in in the youth.
The the the fitting wasn't fully seated.
OK, this thing just we raised the pressure and it just shot.
It sounded like it blew up, but it just, you know, released.
And then his ears were ringing the rest of the night.
But that that was the only, I don't know, brush with death that we had.
All the connections and all the amount of piping and stuff
that you you put out through that garage.
If there was only one leak and it was an easy fix, that sounds like a good day.
That also speaks to the system.
There ended up to be three leaks.
Ultimately, that's what took us so long to finish it.
But we addressed all of them.
And I'm telling you, man, that that system is I'm not going to say idiot proof,
but I did it and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
What you can't do without that scissor lift, depending upon the height.
Right, because you got a tall garage. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Yeah, it was it was like shooting ducks in a barrel.
It made it so easy.
The connections were easy.
It's the company I went with is pre-votes.
And, you know, Clint came up with a great idea about hiding the pipe.
And it's really clean, I got to say.
I'm really impressed with it.
It held held pressure all night.
And it's it's as of right now, man.
I'm extremely happy with it.
And I've saved the labor because we did it ourselves.
Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome.
It's a cool system. So I'm glad it worked out.
You're right, because of the the garage and you kind of want to hide it a bit
and get it high up into the air.
But but, you know, normal garages, you can do it.
You know, you can do it eight foot high.
You can do it even along the along the walls.
Here we go. Yeah.
Let's go for a little walk.
You guys are watching on YouTube.
Why not, man?
We're going for a little walk.
Let's take a little take a look.
By the way, the garage is looking good.
I can see you got your lever rack back there.
We're getting there, man. We're getting there.
Yeah. Let's see if stack of tires every shop has a stack of tires.
A six or five years of storage, the compressor was pulled out
and finally plugged in. Yeah, looks new.
It's brand new.
And thank you very much, Ben Pack.
And, you know, so we started here quite obviously.
Yeah, we tried to hide everything as much as humanly possible.
So what we did.
So that blue piping back there, that sky blue, that light blue,
that's what we're talking about.
That's a hard line and those black
couplers are on it or the pieces that attach to it.
So you cut that thing to length and
hard wire it basically all over the shop.
So that's where it started.
And if you see, we went behind the bad ass workbench.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. OK.
So here you can't see any of it.
It's it's completely invisible.
So it was a slant idea and it was fricking fabulous.
It is some attached to the walls and some are
like, see, it's going up the wall there.
That's the blue piping going up the wall there.
See how we came back there.
Yeah. So how do you what do you guys do to attach it to the wall?
Is there there's there's mounts?
I come with it. See the little black mounts right there.
Oh, yeah, I see them there. Yeah.
But it's not attached to the wall.
It's not back here.
It's not attached to the wall.
It's attached to the to the workbench.
Yeah, that's cool.
It's just floating back there.
I'm using some of those Gator Gator hangers right there like that.
I have. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
The magnet. Yeah.
So the Gator magnets, those are awesome.
Yeah, it's literally sitting on top of the Gator magnets right behind the bench
and it's not hooked in to anything.
It's leaning up on that brass pipe.
Yeah. OK.
And then you have a couple of mounts right there.
Yeah.
Then you come down to the manifold.
Right. Yeah.
There's your your holes real.
Yeah, some cool stuff.
So if you guys, I it's probably not as exciting on the podcast,
but if you watch the YouTube version, you can see some of this stuff going out there.
So I appreciate you guys sticking with us.
Yeah, it looks good.
So I mean, I was able to accomplish anything and everything that I needed.
And that's where we end.
And it's that clean.
I mean, it's pretty amazing how it just blends in.
And it was it wasn't it wasn't bad, man.
It really wasn't.
So, you know, thumbs up to pre-votes for at least their their their products.
You know, I had didn't have a problem with any of them.
The instructions were pretty damn straightforward.
You know, and you got to be extremely clean.
And first and foremost, it holds air.
You know, so we'll pat on the back.
It was fun. Yeah, good job.
Yeah, thanks to Clint as well.
Thanks to, yeah, Clint was the only one that would help me.
So twice as long when Clint helped me because we bitch at each other and rag on each other.
So I got a lot of it done when he when I was by myself, because you can concentrate
and you don't have any distractions.
Yeah, but but it was it was a fun process.
You know, it really was.
I learned a little bit throughout that I, you know, things that I wish
I would have known prior that would have made it a lot easier.
But I didn't screw up cutting any pipes.
I wasn't short of any pipes whatsoever.
Going the route of having the 18 foot
pipes shipped, you know, for 600 bucks turned out to be the right way to go.
It was. Yeah. OK. Truly.
So we really got I know I know your plate is full.
But at some point, we really got to do a video walkthrough of of the garage now
that somebody things are kind of found its home in the garage.
Just to walk through the workbench and the lever acts.
And even just now when you're walking around, I can see where outlets are
or installed some of the ceiling, walls.
And and those are all things you really have to give thought to during that build
process, right, going, you know, if I if I'm going to install lift here,
do I do I need air? Do I need power?
Do I need to 40? Do I need, you know, like, well, if you remember,
we literally built the garage around the two custom bend pack lifts.
Yeah. You know, as far as the the exact placement of the lift,
I got all the blueprints beforehand.
And so we designed every garage door around those lifts or not every,
but the two on each side of the back of the garage.
Yeah, for the three wide in the big garage doors.
And yeah. And, you know, now I'm finding out that, you know,
you can't pre-plan for everything because I'm having an entire
kitchen installed on the deck upstairs for these events
that I'm doing for the military. Yeah, yeah.
I wish I would have done a couple of things differently, but it is what it is,
man, you adapt and overcome.
But for the most part, our pre-planning worked out pretty good here. Yeah.
All right. It's awesome, man.
I appreciate the look, the little peek into the garage over there.
And congrats on pulling this whole thing together with the Bronco Raptor.
I'm sure that was super exciting.
I know it was exciting for you and for Gage, and I'm sure Wanda as well.
She was happy to see.
It was over the moon, man.
I mean, true.
It was an exhausting experience, but it was well worth it.
And now you can take advantage of having Gage home and at your mercy.
We need to do some stuff around the house.
You need to help your mom.
He doesn't do any of that shit.
We're just letting him chill, man.
I mean, he has no time to really do anything with me in school.
So yeah.
All right, we're going to wrap things up.
But yeah, thanks for the update.
And we'll see you guys next week.
And until then, keep the air and the spare and the bag and the wheel.
Hey, campers, it's Jan from Toyota.
This summer, we're headed to Camp Toyota and the fun starts now.
We're kicking things off by kicking up mud.
Jump in campers.
We're going off roading in a forerunner.
Next, we're heading to the hot springs in a RAV4.
And finally, park your tundras and Tacomas around the campfire
because we're roasting marshmallows.
Your summer starts here.
About this episode
Gage Goldberg lands a Ford Bronco Raptor, and the CarCast crew walks through how it all came together—dealer pressure, quick sourcing, and the logistics of getting it home with dealer plates while the tag wasn’t ready. The discussion shifts to Bill’s modification plans: PPF/stealth finish, satin wrap, and parts like Eibach leveling, upper control arms, and an exhaust. They also compare Bronco Raptor capability to the regular Bronco and talk about how sponsored builds often follow an event-driven timeline.
