Von Miller, Super Bowl 50 MVP of the Denver Broncos, looked to build a truck to auction off for charity, to support Von's Vision Foundation (the Foundation established by Von to help provide low-income children with the eye care and corrective eyewear they need to be best in their classroom and in life). Five R Trucks turned Magnum Truck Gear’s 2013 Ford SVT Raptor into “Von’s Vision” Charity Raptor on the Lifted Life TV show on Velocity.
When talking with Von about what he envisioned; he said, “I really wanted a truck that was true to me and my Texas roots - tactical but sleek.”
Once learning about the need for a truck, Magnum Truck Gear donated their 2013 Marketing Ford Raptor; hearing about the charity build, owner Bob Wolf of Magnum Truck Gear/Innovative Creations Inc. did not hesitate to donate the Raptor. He believes in giving back and the strong family ties which Five R shows, a value Magnum and ICI share with family members working at every level of the company.
Lifted Life long time companies such as Rigid Industries, Weatherboots, Nitto Tires, Memphis Audio, Magnaflow exhaust, Undercover, Seymour Paints, KEG Media, R1 Concepts, Roadwire, Impacted Graphics and Recon Lights were called on for aftermarket accessories. Joining these great manufactures were Magnum Truck Gear, ROUSH Performance and King Shocks. The Lifted Life aired the build on Oct. 5th to great reception. After air, the truck was published in an article in DUB Magazine Winter – Nov Issue 100.
