Great video, and great job on the rebuild!!!!I keep hearing "experts" say not to rebuild wrecked cars, but you do em right,it's worth it with these results!!!!!
You know what... This is the 5th video I’ve watched of yours (besides your 7.3 video however long ago), I love your energy and you sir have earned my subscription.
Man, I'm SO stoked to see y'all bust this beast out. I love that y'all put this monster back together. Would be cool to see this thing on person one day. 😏
@Westin, I've got those Morimoto lights on my Raptor. Don't forget to remove all the ballast boxes on the back of the lights the boxes are for Halogen conversions. Raptors all come with LEDs and If you leave them in line they will eventually cause you all kinds of weird lighting issues and codes. Been there.
Yeah, but putting gears in and putting them in right are two different things. I didn't see any gear marker on the teeth of the ring and pinion, so I sure hope that the gear mesh is good and the pinion lash is set. We'll find out when he drives it.
576K. My, oh my, you have come a long way. Glad to hear it was only strep throat though. Those headlights are amazing. Can't wait for the finish of your Raptor. It is a beauty. Love ya lots. Till the next time!!
Looking good! At this point, here in my part of Texas, we would put on a Ranch Hand front bumper replacement with grill guard because of all the deer on our roads. They are heavy duty for sure. I know you set out to return it to stock condition. Living the progress!
The Raptor is such a cool, mean looking truck. Makes you wonder why GM or RAM have never built a competitor (though I guess a Ram 1500 TRX is in the works). These trucks hold their value really well to, and good luck buying a new one at sticker price apparently; they usually sell above sticker by a tidy margin.
I love your channel you have a great sense of humor and handle problems very well you guys do beautiful work restoring wrecked trucks and being a mechanic myself I know the struggle you go through keep the videos coming westen you guys are getting me through this covid 19 shut down
I love your videos they’re so awesome, I like that you have a really good craftsmanship and what you do all joking matter aside you produce very good quality videos and very well awesome builds .
Got the Raptor looking like a truck again. Can't wait to see it finished. Have you thought of doing some custom Heavy Duty bumper for the front? Might help her get over her PTreeSD.
Glad to see a vid. Thought maybe you gave up. Sorry to hear you been sick. Hopefully you feel better. After seeing those headlights you do. Truck has came along way. I no it ended up being more than you thought it was going to be in the beginning. But you have done it.
Looking good that Raptor. I'm 67 years young, am I too old for a new pet raptor? I know it's too tall for this old guy to get up into. I bet that the seats are nice and comfy and the ride is it soft and cozy like the 95 Buick Roadmaster I once owned. I don't think that the misses would go for a new truck rather than a newer home, moving out of the suburbs and back into the country. Wait a minute, in the country, you can hunt raptors there. Maybe I can still get one.
Westen, I'm turning my bell notification off! It's no use to me! It just takes too darn long to let me know. I've watched your last three videos within 15 minutes of them being uploaded by finding thems myself. Love your videos keep up the great work!
Hey western when you shoot some paint on the raptor gloss black the fenders and rear tub fenders would make it look as tough as having two sets of nuts ,,, oh by the way you guys are a blast to watch fixing cars y'all do a great job ... As for a bumper bar should wrap the rig in an aluminium bull bar from Australia ..
The only thing in El Paso is mesquite bushes and cactus. If they hit a tree probably down in the valley along the Rio Grande. You can try going up near Santa Fe.
"the hood is the same color as the truck so we wont even ave to repaint it" you mean you are letting a vehicle that you laid your hands on be another color than red???
Great build Westen, not sure in what direction you want to take the channel but I think having the price paid, plus parts, and hours of labor would be cool. I know I am curious.
Weston ol son is the man. RUclips needs more Call on this channel. And I know you was sick. Glad you are feeling better and back at it again. Please try and give us more daily upload content and I promise you that it will pay off. Great job everyone it's looking great and y'all do awesome stuff.
Westen you are one crazy dude man! I wanted to hear that Raptor running? When you get it back from the painter do a drive video! Great job man that was a ton of work!
Amoxicillin messed up my gut microbiome. I read it could take over a year for the bacteria to return to normal. Didn't have strep nor the flu, so not sure if it helped me lol. I hate the strep test though...
When you go to get the windshield replaced, make sure they go off the vin or look at the middle bottom of The windshield for something like DW2xxx for the correct part so you don’t get time wasted from wrong parts.
Great video, by the way you can use an hydraulic jack with a block of wood to jack that fender out and save it. Those lights are Killer great choice. Can’t wait for the next video, Stay Safe and Feel Better✌🏽
Westen !! I’d love to see the finale . Great videos.. I’m glad you didn’t get Corona .. that’s awesome.. you got a Mexican fan here from Mexico City.. any time if you wanna come over I’ll take yo to eat the greatest tacos on earth..
Any recommendations for a bumper? the old one probably won't fit very well..lol
A hand built steel one ;)
the Ford Wrecktor don't need no doggone bumper
Maybe Fusion. Not sure if they make one for the Raptor
Get one u can put a winch in. Road Armor bumber
I'd recommend getting a bumper from red goat fabrication
I’d love to see a parts total when all is said and done
Yup, It hasn't been cheap...
same. i know it was totaled out but im curious how much the trick was from auciton
Where does the money come from to buy the parts and the truck? Does Westin have a day job?
Would have been cheaper to just buy a new truck
It would be cheaper to buy a non wrecked Raptor 😂
Someone give this man his own show on Discovery channel I love all your episodes keep it up 💪
Then the show would end here...
Jimmy Tretow-Loof but my man would be eatin 😿
Please Lord, No. Everything gets ruined when "tv" gets involved.
Outstanding work Weston!!! That ride has come so far, we are proud to see you guys progress!!!! That is gonna make a Fine Ride!!!!!!
Bend the fender back ,by hand.
You can touch up a bunch of bodywork to fit right this way,it's effective.
I'll be praying🙏 for you Westen I hope you get better😊
Line of the day: "I'm going to be able to blind God if I go up a steep enough hill" - Weston 😂😂
Great video, and great job on the rebuild!!!!I keep hearing "experts" say not to rebuild wrecked cars, but you do em right,it's worth it with these results!!!!!
Yo Weston should restore something like a old f500 those trucks were legendary
Seen a 79'f500 towtruck other day.. They are a great lookin truck. It would be neat to do one up as a 5 ton pick up or flat bed
You know what... This is the 5th video I’ve watched of yours (besides your 7.3 video however long ago), I love your energy and you sir have earned my subscription.
Hey Western glad your feeling better and back at uploading some video content for us. Any plans for another semi build by chance
Man, I'm SO stoked to see y'all bust this beast out. I love that y'all put this monster back together. Would be cool to see this thing on person one day. 😏
DONT FEEL BAD. I had strep throat this last week as well. I have to take the whole week off as well, and I got tested for the “you know what”
@Westin, I've got those Morimoto lights on my Raptor. Don't forget to remove all the ballast boxes on the back of the lights the boxes are for Halogen conversions.

Great job. The driver’s door sure sounded solid when you closed it.
Thanks for helping to pass the time Weston , the Raptor is looking great. I love my twin turbo ford .
Great job by team Westen! Not everybody could put that differential back together let alone the rest of the nightmare....
Yeah, but putting gears in and putting them in right are two different things. I didn't see any gear marker on the teeth of the ring and pinion, so I sure hope that the gear mesh is good and the pinion lash is set. We'll find out when he drives it.
@TheRoadhammer379, He already has taken the truck for a test drive
Glad you are feeling better Westen! We missed you!
He says he is joking about zip ties as he reaches for the bailing wire.😆
Westen beware diabetes is looking for you. I have type 2 and it is easy to avoid before you trapped.
576K. My, oh my, you have come a long way. Glad to hear it was only strep throat though. Those headlights are amazing. Can't wait for the finish of your Raptor. It is a beauty. Love ya lots. Till the next time!!
For the past two months, I get hyped for a new upload. This is my favorite channel
That plastic banding comes loose by hand. Flip it to get to the inside of the plastic where it is joined. Peel back the inside strip from the end.
Don't let the tornados expertly catalog your adult toys!
That looks bad assed I cant wait to see the finished truck. WOW

Stay far from any trees you made it this far into the project 😂
ya stay far away from a forest or the truck will break down from ptsd lol
I love your channel you have a great sense of humor and handle problems very well you guys do beautiful work restoring wrecked trucks and being a mechanic myself I know the struggle you go through keep the videos coming westen you guys are getting me through this covid 19 shut down
I am in my third week but it appears my body is fighting it and I am coming out the other side I hope
Prayers for you Jeffrey! Hope you're well soon.
Keep improving & taking care!
Keep fighting!!
Prayers
The Raptor is looking great. I love how you rebuild wrecked vehicles. Keen it up Western.
I love your videos they’re so awesome, I like that you have a really good craftsmanship and what you do all joking matter aside you produce very good quality videos and very well awesome builds .
Awesome video.... those headlights are awesome !!! Put a grill guard or something to protect those lights and your motor... keep the videos coming.
What happen to wayland I think that’s his name haven’t seen him in a while
He probably didn't want to be embarrassed by being seen with that pile of junk ford...
He made Westin look fat. Dom keeps things in balance.
Please get a long travel Baja race kit for the suspension and a cage or tube chassis and make it a full street legal prerunner
Well I’ll be dipped

Where’s Waylon
Regal105 He’s been MIA for a while now.
He's got like 5 kids or something so
Probably back to work
@@megaroll9560 fr? lmao how do uk

I totally understand your frustration on body panels on back order! My 19 f250 is finally in the shop for a bedside after 5 months of waiting lol
Hey, where's Wayland?
Glad to see a vid. Thought maybe you gave up. Sorry to hear you been sick. Hopefully you feel better. After seeing those headlights you do. Truck has came along way. I no it ended up being more than you thought it was going to be in the beginning. But you have done it.
Y'all need to do the Cummins swap in that squarebody Chevy, I've been waiting since last year, it would be so cool👍😂

Good thing u didn’t have corona
But other people he's around will think he does.
Wouldn't have been any worse!
you re right because he's going everywhere
@@JohnDoe-nz6bk stop with that nonsense, I know two people who have died, both healthy and under 40. .Just shut up, I hate people like you.
Tyson McLane it’s all bout your immunity. I think how come none of the NBA people new they had it or didn’t die
This is a perfect type of videos for people that love to get dirty working on their cars/trucks absolutely love it ! Keep Up WESTEN !
"You wanna know something astonishing?"
"Do you even know what that word means?"
LMAO you guys are hilarious 😂
ST dead 😂
He clowned his ass hahaaha
im happy to see westin supporting America.
"PTreeSD" No wooded trail drives for you.
If you heat up the left fender and try to mold it back with your hands you could get it looking good but it won’t be perfect
Westen, I'm turning my bell notification off! It's no use to me!
It just takes too darn long to let me know. I've watched your last three videos within 15 minutes of them being uploaded by finding thems myself.
Love your videos keep up the great work!
Quality over quantity boyyyy
Westin you and your crew are a riot. I always enjoy your videos.
I remember when I subscribed... Such a rush.
Me too, been chasing that dragon ever since
Anyone who has the audacity to dislike your videos honestly are scum of the Earth. You bring nothing but joy to RUclips!
0:55 Westin does it work to make me feel better if i had to unsubscribe and resubscribe? 🤔
Well take care of yourself Westen, and hopefully no tornados too.
Ya Ford takes all my money to you need to get on car-part they have a national registry of all used parts yards
Hey western when you shoot some paint on the raptor gloss black the fenders and rear tub fenders would make it look as tough as having two sets of nuts ,,, oh by the way you guys are a blast to watch fixing cars y'all do a great job ... As for a bumper bar should wrap the rig in an aluminium bull bar from Australia ..
I’m guessing there has been a falling out with Waylon?
I hope not. He was a likeable guy that I enjoyed watching
Well at least mullet boy is not filling the void!
The only thing in El Paso is mesquite bushes and cactus. If they hit a tree probably down in the valley along the Rio Grande. You can try going up near Santa Fe.
Will somebody please give Dom a new tee shirt!
Damn hot truck... and those light are sweet... Cant wait till next video...
"the hood is the same color as the truck so we wont even ave to repaint it" you mean you are letting a vehicle that you laid your hands on be another color than red???
Looks awesome! It will be all worth it when its 100% back together. I would of waited to install those pretty lights after the paint job..
Hey man you guys want to sell me that peterbilt
Let's bid for it. 😎✌️
Ptsd from trees! 😂Greets from the Netherlands Europe. Keep going.
Great build Westen, not sure in what direction you want to take the channel but I think having the price paid, plus parts, and hours of labor would be cool. I know I am curious.
Think Utah for the off road adventuring, lots of fun here, and not too many trees for the Raptor to have PTSD flashbacks over!
Glad your feelin better.....your videos keep the night entertainin.....see ya in the next one
HR guys are the real deal. Only people I use for my LED needs for my Fords.
Weston ol son is the man. RUclips needs more Call on this channel. And I know you was sick. Glad you are feeling better and back at it again. Please try and give us more daily upload content and I promise you that it will pay off. Great job everyone it's looking great and y'all do awesome stuff.

Definitely put a move bumper on that it would look sick!!
finally the headlights on and the truck looks amazing !!!!! Nice piece off work Westen and Team !!!!
Damnit Westen! You need longer videos!
Glad to hear you 19 free . Great job on the Raptor
Coming together beautifully!!!
Get well westen happy your ok was getting worried
Westen you are one crazy dude man! I wanted to hear that Raptor running? When you get it back from the painter do a drive video! Great job man that was a ton of work!
happy that your okay... would have missed your kontent like crazy... your a positive moodbomb for my day...
Damn dude! That is just amazing how it’s coming out. Good to hear you don’t have the rona. Take care my friend!
Everyone should enjoy life as much as you. Love your videos.
Come on out to AZ. We have some beautiful trails
Westen the red bearded wonder and his sidekick Dom continues to amaze us with his KA wisdom. What to roll. Great job
Cant wait to see the finished product and I'm also ready to see the mustang Cummins swap finished!!
I’ve had strep throat 3 times in my 38 years, and it’s very painful. Amoxicillin always knocked it out for me, the next day I’d start feeling better
Amoxicillin messed up my gut microbiome. I read it could take over a year for the bacteria to return to normal. Didn't have strep nor the flu, so not sure if it helped me lol. I hate the strep test though...
You expertly cataloged that truck across the whole danm shop good hob guys
When you go to get the windshield replaced, make sure they go off the vin or look at the middle bottom of
The windshield for something like DW2xxx for the correct part so you don’t get time wasted from wrong parts.
Look forward to seeing the finished product.
Want to see the next part of it ,raptor being in its final condition. All clean and ready.
12:25 I’m going to be able to blind GOD going up a steep enough hill. That’s awesome Westin
Must be nice to have box bolts that you get from top of box..
Not so for old Dodge trucks..lol
Great job Westen!!
Looking Great!!!!
That truck came out sweet great nice build.
Glad u are doing well... Truck definitely came along way... Nice
Those are Morimoto headlights. The best you can get! Glad you did not have Covid-19 Westen!
Great video, by the way you can use an hydraulic jack with a block of wood to jack that fender out and save it. Those lights are Killer great choice. Can’t wait for the next video, Stay Safe and Feel Better✌🏽
Take care of yourself, Westen! I need your videos!

Looks good! I'm working on restoring my family's 96 f150 farm truck
13:20 Don't worry about the trees. Just make sure the horn works and use it if you are about to hit a tree.
Glad you're feeling better bud. Happy to here you didn't have the beverage bug.
Never been flashed so much in one video!
Looks great good job.
