Barry Bond's Bronco Raptor - Ultimate Overland Bronco!

[@t.o.f.t.s.]

Barry seems to be a very down to earth guy. So cool he's into overlanding and you get to hang out with him. 👍

[@archstanton3636]

Totally agree, I saw him on the 395jnky episode and get the same impression. This just solidifies it.

[@JK47.23]

After only seeing Barry on tv for baseball related things and always seeing his attitude and the tone of voice he’d use with the sports media…..this is not only the most I’ve EVER seen him speak but I also never knew he could smile and he did that in this video as well 💯😂

[@MRice-kh6se]

I’m impressed by how you took the time to research & plan the design of your Bronco inside & out. It’s impressive! Thank you for sharing.

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks for watching!

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

Mendocino wilderness great place to go I take that route you drove into every couple weeks I go deep in the back country all kinds of back country camping areas, and watching this video I bought the same exact bronco raptor today same color everything, Gave up jeep for the bronco raptor because the comfort there is no driver fatigue driving one. 👍👍👍

[@flyfisher530]

Hey Jon congratulations on getting your new Bronco! Based on riding with Barry in his rig I can definitely say you have a nice ride and very capable offroad vehicle! I have to get back up to the Mendocino forest area soon. I skirted through the area on my Lost Coast adventure and reminded me how beautiful it is. Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

@@flyfisher530 Mendocino is a great spot to get in the back country especially after the first rains it becomes very pleasant there’s so many places to explore and you can head north all the way to the Yolo bolly Wilderness, We are spoiled in California so many places to go👍👍👍😆

[@deandesrosiers6857]

Damn, thanks Barry for sharing your build. I had lost my mojo with my Wildtrak and seeing thinking and upgrades has given me inspiration. “I’m a novice at this thing” is the voice of a humble genius!

[@jebo4jc]

Wow. This is really cool. I'm not a big fan of Barry as a baseball player, but as a fellow Bronco owner, I respect his passion and dedication. Sweet setup, Barry!

[@1942JADR]

Awesome video..... Mr. BONDS as always a very down to earth person. Awesome to see he him getting into this lifestyle. Hope to see you all on the dirt.

[@pmurphy12667]

Very nice indeed! Good to see Barry still overlanding and evolving his build. Met him at the 395 JNKY event and he is just down to earth.

[@395jnky]

Great walk around Mike. Barry did a great job putting that Bronco together. Happy trails buddy!

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Daniel! We need to hit the trails soon together!

[@hopeulikenudes]

Hi Daniel hope we see some new videos soon...

[@siuthen7213]

new bronco with trips camping always perfect

[@marcpjoyner]

Awesome rig Barry! Glad to see you enjoying life and nature.

[@JoelRodriguezNunez]

BARRY LAMAR BONDS! THE GOAT! the guy does everything!

[@jameschilton20]

I saw you on another video with a group camp. Cool to find your actual channel and to see a unique rig. Bonds was one of my absolute favorite players growing up. Cool that he's into overlanding. Great build.

[@nevilleguard3558]

You need to subscribe to the channel lets take Flyfisher to 10k

[@gainesj1]

Phenomenal rig/build... it's almost like... "if someone could hit a ball... as well as they vision a rig build... they MIGHT be pretty good!" Great job with the filming... great job encouraging your guest to share their story!

[@DMAX-ed7pq]

Impressive rig. Nicely executed. Thanks for walkaround

[@EFRT]

What a great walk around!. Barry thought of everything on this rig. Love it! Thanks for posting this video Mike, we love your channel.

[@flyfisher530]

So nice of you guys from the EFRT family to say that, hope we can meet on the trails someday!

[@JK47.23]

The San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates watched this video like 😳😳 “he can speak and LAUGH!!!!” 😂😂

[@montebeerbower7796]

Barry is just gold!! Great person!! Love to have that raptor

[@OverlandingOurWay]

Always great to see Barry out adventuring. I grew up in a town near him(Foster City) and i would catch his high school baseball games out in central park in San Mateo when he played for Serra high school. He hit one out of that park and it crossed El camino Real and broke a 4th story window on that building. He has always been such an incredible athlete and even nicer person once you meet him. Hope you guys are gonna be back at overland expo pnw later in beginning of July as i will be coming up from Sacramento area to attend my first expo. Tried to make Flagstaff expo but timing was just off. Next year for sure. Thanks forthe video, Mike.

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks for the nice words, appreciate it. Look for me at PNW!

[@eleanorgirard116]

As a Bronco Raptor owner this is so helpful - great interview and walkaround.

[@texasbradley]

Really cool to see Barry bonds an off-road fan. Everybody needs the outdoors and adventure, it's a requirement for humans.

[@NeilSpurge0n]

As a life long Giants fan it's so cool to sea THE GOAT in this. I never would have expected this.

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@GhostRiderAZ]

Cool rig and nice job! Gave me lots of ideas for my Badlands! Would be awesome to see you out on the trail some time.

[@durtyflyadventures]

That is a sweet rig!! Good advise on ordering ahead of time

[@MrJgrub002]

Dang Barry did a great setup to meet his needs!

[@pnw.bronco]

You mentioned a friends raptor in the comments on another video. Then you start this with a casual “My Friend”. 😂😂😂 Great build, fun video. Looking at those Rock Slide engineering spare tire fuel carrier for mine too.

[@flyfisher530]

I have to give you credit for paying attention to my video comments! 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@lunamaria1048]

Finally a Bronco Raptor overland build! I have a new Eruption Green Bronco Wiltrak, but want a Bronco Raptor. I purchased it from my boss who recently paid cash for it, put it on 37 inch GY Wranglers, put on beautiful aluminum offroad bumpers and an ARB winch, then decided he has no time to actually use it. The only mod I need are rock sliders I can use as a step to get in, because I am short lol, and they are already ordered! My plan is to trade it for the Bronco Raptor, sooner than later. Great video!

[@jeeperguy4290]

Sweet rig🤙🏻how cool that Barry’s into wheeling. Never would have known. I’d love to tag along😎

[@Infinitiwpb]

Cool Braptor, LiteBrite took theirs rock calling against their built JL and these things are solid from the factory. Great build!

[@btw985]

Gotta say. This might have converted me into a Barry Bonds fan. Broncos > Baseball. Great build!

[@jorgeclavel1177]

Those locks/mounts for the axe and shovel what were they called again? 14:25

[@flyfisher530]

Rhino Rack Stow It mounts with Quick Fist rubber clamps. Thanks for watching!

[@aliemahadika2490]

😊😊

[@TheAaronPerry]

Great video! He seems pretty down to earth and hope he has a ton of off road adventures in that beast! Just be warned Barry, off roading is an addiction, once you get the bug, you never stop modding hahahaha!

[@adamwebber9547]

Good video. Nice to see Barry taking all the steps, watching all the videos and getting input to build an incredible overlanding/camping rig. Waiting on my TRMR rack through Rhino Adventure Gear (Joost & Cody) here in San Marcos, CA. Next is the iKamper 3.0 mini. Prob do the Goose Gear rear seat delete as well since my Badlands is a 2dr and I don't need 3 passengers :) . Funny - I had 13 things in my house waiting for my Bronco delivery (15 months! LOL) and spent a week or so mounting everything. Thanks for posting. BTW - been watching 395jnky and love to get some Barry Bonds special spice mix - hint, hint.

[@flyfisher530]

Those iKamper's are nice! Thanks for watching!

[@ModernSamuraiProject]

That’s a great hoodie!!!!!

[@AMBRubicon2007]

Perfect built !

[@TrailNewbie]

Mike!! Love it!! This was so fun to watch!! 👊🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Greg! It was a fun video to make with Barry!

[@bullitt4930]

Loved the video. I'm a Bronco owner myself here in Colorado. Let me know when you make it out to Colorado...I, along with others would love to hit the trails with you.

[@jamiegregory6981]

this is a great video! I was a Pirates fanatic when I was a kid. My dad and I caught Barry in the parking lot of the Astrodome after a game one night and got his autograph. How cool is it to find out he's into Broncos and overloading?!

[@DocWrangler]

What a great rig! Nice video, thanks for showing it!

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Ian!

[@thabarberian13]

Hey mike and barry! rough country makes a hidden winch mount that hides it behind the skid plate not sure if it will work with the raptor but it only states it doesnt work for the 2.7L hope this helps!

[@samfankuchen]

Love the build! If the Raptor bumper is the same as the regular Bronco modular steel bumper, will the Warn winch from the Ford Performance catalog not fit in the center opening?

[@chitowncheese9639]

The GOAT has a GOAT Braptor!

[@JeepinBailey]

Nicely built bronco! It would have been interesting to hear his review and impressions of how the bronco drives!

[@flyfisher530]

I am sure we will be doing a follow-up, thanks for watching!

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

Barry has got a beautiful BRaptor.

[@hoss6048]

The only Bronco Raptor I’ve seen anywhere..

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks for watching!

[@OVRLNDX]

Love it! Great guy!

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Marco! 👍

[@Sevencastle]

I like the little bronco emblem showing in the back uncovered.

[@flyfisher530]

Yes that's a cool emblem! Thanks for watching!

[@bluwasabi7635]

I love the shovel and ax mount solution! What is that other rubber strap thing that was used to secure the handles of the shovel/ax? Did you have to drill holes in the pak rax to mount the Rhino Stow It and the rubber strap thing?

[@flyfisher530]

Those mounts for the shovel\axe are called Quick Fist Clamps. I have them also and they work great. I don't think it was necessary to drill holes in the rack but if so it would not be too difficult. Thanks for watching!

[@bluwasabi7635]

@@flyfisher530 Thank you soo much!

[@AubreyOutside]

Sad to see the defender go but the Braptor is a sweet rig too. Nicely done!

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks! 👍

[@nevilleguard3558]

Great video Mike

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Neville! 👍

[@davidlockebreaux8064]

First off, as a san mateo native, Barry is an absolute LEGEND and will ALWAYS be the best who ever played in my eyes, so this video that combined two of my favorite topics (Barry & Broncos) was EPIC! Do you know what brackets he used to be able to install the shovel on the upper part of his PackRax system? Is that the Modular 90 bracket? i love that placement of the shovel and want to do the same thing on my bronco. :) thanks!!

[@flyfisher530]

Rhino Rack “Stow It” mount with Quick Fist clamps. Thanks for watching and love your comments! 👍

[@davidlockebreaux8064]

@@flyfisher530 Thanks much!!!

[@DrXtoph]

You’re the best! 1st!! This is my obligatory comment to enhance your KZbin algorithm performance. Do tell us, PLEASE, what is the total weight now? 😂❤😂❤

[@sgtmac21]

Great looking practical Bronco! Nice rig Barry and I think it's much better than the Defender.

[@crboyles22]

Just a thought. When he is airing back up could he just open the two rear doors and run the hose that way? Instead of running the hose under the vehicle? That way if it is muddy or something he wouldn't have to deal with that too much. Cool Bronco for sure

[@flyfisher530]

Yes I was thinking that too as an option, thanks for watching!

[@lindo12ful]

Great video ! Maybe a video on the bronco raptor performance off road ?

[@flyfisher530]

Yes we will likely do a follow-up review, thanks for watching!

[@OverlandOverloaded]

Wow! I never ran into Barry Bonds, but we both attended the Malibu Gran Fondo in October of 2011. It was awesome to hear that such a famous person was there! Awesome video, I'm watching this with Subtitles on at work (down time). I'm going to have to continue this when I get back home! Great video so far, and looking forward to seeing more. Wish you continued success with the channel! @jondz_adventuring

[@step22gear]

Great job guys!!

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Adam! Step22 looks great in the Raptor!

[@extspence]

Which shovel and axe mounts are being used? Prefer the way they are. mounted vs the Trailrax version.

[@flyfisher530]

Rhino Rack Stow It mounts with Quick Fist rubber clamps

[@extspence]

Perfect thank you! Have them ordered now.

[@DallasCajun]

Calling himself a Novice is pretty damn modest...I'm an Overlanding Novice as I know that I don't know much (but want to learn more). BB may not be 'advanced' but he's certainly well past Beginner. Good on him for owning his project and investing the time and research as opposed to paying someone else for a turnkey project.

[@TheGreekbull]

Any chance we could get a rig update with Barry’s Raptor? Did he outfit a new bumper etc?

[@flyfisher530]

I will try to do one soon! Not too much to report on the front bumper! Thanks for watching!

[@TheGreekbull]

@@flyfisher530 great thanks. Love the content. Working on plans for a Bronco Raptor overland build myself and was wondering what direction he went if any. At this point I’m planning on the Maxlider Bronco Raptor winch bumper as it seems to be the most streamlined and tucked away solution.

[@richardg8712]

Barry. I have a 2023 bronco raptor. I just installed a hidden winch. If your interested reach out I can tell you how I did it. Happy to share

[@johnweishaar5639]

Never thought Barry Bonds and my wife would have something in common but they both pronounce winch as "Wench"

[@norcalraptorruns]

Great video and walkaround! Have Barry join NorCal Raptor Runs if he’s interested in taking his Bronco Raptor offroad in a group setting. We’re a group of likeminded offroad enthusiasts who do family friendly multi-day offroad events all over the southwest. His Bronco Raptor would certainly be able to keep pace. Check out our KZbin videos for more info!

[@DesertRox]

I really like the bronco but man they are wide and the raptor even more. Offroading with something so wide just doesn't make sense from my perspective but then again I have what amounts to a CJ.

[@flyfisher530]

I totally get it, love the CJ!

[@Sonofagreatdad]

nice to see a black dude overlanding

[@texasgrillchef8581]

Tell Barry bonds to use co2 tanks. They allow you to run air tools that a compressor doesn’t.

[@mikekennedy9174]

Pretty nice but I’ll keep my 66’

[@slickwillie97]

Looks like a Bronco on steroids!

[@TheOGMattBurns]

Not gonna lie. I've hated Barry Bonds for as long as I can remember. Can't say that I do anymore.

[@ManMan-sj7py]

thats bronco raptor yet you just put too much trash at your back... perhaps you should treat it with respect thats an expensive one!

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks for watching!

[@rodhester]

Thanks for sharing, see u on the trail, maybe go to trailhero, kevin and Brittany are great people to reach out too. I helped Kevin put those tires on his raptor, great choice
