You could make a career out this. I liked the fit of the interior in my '08 FX4 better than my '14 Raptor and have thought of buying another '07-'08 F-150 for converting. Clamshell front end might be easier.
Awesome man, I bet if it was black it would hide a lot of the gaps in the panels a lot better. Thinking about doing this to my 07... seems like a fun project and the results look amazing! Good job
@@theslenderman4427 I filmed this over a ear ago and lost the footage for the headlights. If you have any questions about the install I’d be happy to help.
Is this the kit with the 4.5" buldge or the 7" buldge? I was looking on their website and it doesn't look like the 7" buldge is available to the 6.5 beds on the supercab.
I'm converting my Gen1 Raptor to a Gen2 Raptor front clip from McNeil -- Do you have any advice / walk-throughts on wiring 2015-2017 led headlights + tailights? Or just any direction at all? Any help would be appreciated!
Can you make a video showing how you installed the bumper itself? The part you had installed previous to the start of the video? I'd really like to put the same bumper on my F150. Thanks!
Did the hood and front bumper come with it ? I what kit did you get from fiberwerx, the 2004-2014 FORD F-150 TO GEN 1 RAPTOR CONVERSION KIT or the gen 2?
I’m buying another f150 to do this with. Love the video, can you possibly make a video of how you wired in the headlights or give me an explanation of how you did it? Much appreciated and can’t wait to do this to mine.
I had to slice the new plugs into the old wires. I just took a voltage tester to figure out which wire was which and spliced them to the corresponding wire.
@@Ben.Builds. o I thought you did a part 2 with headlights. I haven't got a chance to watch yet. I also bought a conversion from fiberwerx years ago. But I'm about to buy the raptor kit. Is the deberti kit? Looks wider then regular raptor.
What was your technique for lining up the headlights when you mounted them? I’m converting a 2014 to gen 2 and trying to decide the best way to mount the headlights and have it all line up
I first lined up the hood and the grill. Without those two lined up it’s impossible to line up the headlights. Then I started the headlights. It was probably the most difficult part of the whole installation.
Do you remember the conversation kit you used on this build, i looked at the website and didn't find exactly which one you used. Id love to do this on my 06 f150
I know you probably won’t answer to this but I have a 04 F-150 that I wanted to convert the same as yours but I don’t know what products to get off the fiberwerx website I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what products you purchased to do this. Truck looks amazing btw!
They have their products separated by what year your F-150 is. They call it “2004-2014 FORD F-150 TO GEN 2 RAPTOR CONVERSION KIT” for the front end and “2004-2014 FORD F-150 TO 17+ RAPTOR OEM STYLE CONVERSION BEDSIDES” for the bedsides.
I’m about to start this same conversion on my 2010. I was really hoping you had the video of the headlights. What did you cut and how did you secure the grill, headlights, and headlight extensions?
The hardest, most important part of the video (HEADLIGHTS)... Skips right over to, "I'm done"... LOL Must have been that bad. "I will never share the struggle and allow everyone who does buy this kit endure the same fate I had" Is this just a daytime running truck? lol No light display? on off blinkers etc?
Hey Ben! I know that you said on here that you lost the headlight install video, but do you know if you had to use an aftermarket harness to wire the headlights? I finally got my fiberwerx order so I'm installing soon
Thanks for the video! I am going to do the same for 2010 f150 , but question what did you do for the front and back wheelwells? and any links to the parts?
The front wheel wells just had the liner and it screwed right on to the new fender. However the back wheel wells were a bigger pain. You could do it a few different ways... you could create a new wheel well and cut the old one off. Or bend the old wheel well up so you can bolt it to the new fender. Might be a good idea to get some liners for the rear wheel wells after install. I haven’t done that yet.
I have one question. Is the fenders and hood and anything else replaced in this conversion aluminum. I would like to know in case I do this. I don’t want aluminum
I don’t have that part recorded, however it was pretty simple, just two bolts secured to the frame of the truck. You will see where the previous bumper was attached.
I bought my kit from Fiberwerx, and all the other parts are listed in the description of this video. There are other fiberglass kits on the market too.
I did the front first and it looked a little weird. If you only did the front I would find a different kit that wasn’t so wide. Or maybe it would look okay with some rear fender flares.
The front end I purchased is the 2004-2014 Ford F-150 To Gen 2 Raptor Conversion Kit. The bedsides were 2004-2014 Ford F-150 To 17+ Raptor OEM Style Conversion Bedsides.
Thanks so much! This looks awesome. I plan on doing the same to my 2010 F150. Last question. Do you mind providing the fornt bumper you used? I'm having a difficult time locating it. It looks very similar to the Rubicon bumpers on the Jeep Wrangler. As always, your help is greatly appreciated!
@@cmyrick6776 I used square steel tubing to create a frame for the grill and headlights to mount onto. The headlights were the biggest headache. You will have to fiddle with the adjustments on the headlights to get them to point at the correct height.

Thanks!
nice build... I was wondering doe the kits came with the piece between the headlight n grill?
Does anyone know if you could put on a newer tailgate? For example would a 2017 tailgate fit on an 07 truck with this kit?
I have wondered that before. I think it would look a lot better with the newer tailgates or even a raptor tailgate.

That's the 4.5 kit.
I’m actually doing the exact same project in a few days on my 08 f150, you have any videos of you changing the core support for the new headlights?
Sorry, I don’t have that video.

That's so dope I want one but there to much money I much rather do this 🙌
Thanks! It was a lot of fun. I wish I had the money for the real thing.

Unfortunately I don’t have the video and I have sold the truck.
@@Ben.Builds. oh ok, was wiring the headlights relatively east or did you have to splice in any new connections?
I had to slice the new plugs into the old wires. I just took a voltage tester to figure out which wire was which and spliced them to the corresponding wire.
Looks good. Whats the wheel offset to make them sit flush with the fenders ?
Hello. Reviving this post with a question. How did you get the hood struts to work finally?
I don’t have anymore video of this and I sold the truck.
Not needing a video but if you can explain how ya got the hinges to work? I also have an 08 and it’s a no go?? Thanx
Will the 15+ tailgate fit on an 08 box? Really want to do this just want to make sure it works but cant find any info out there.
I am not sure about that. I would contact the manufacturer of the kit you are using. I used the tell gate that came with my truck, which is a 2008.
Do you have a link to the front bumper?
I found it on eBay. Just type in “2009-2014 ford f150 raptor front bumper”
You should of done that build on a regular cab!
I really should have
Hey Ben, I'm going to be doing the same build once the parts come in from fiberwerx. What did you use to paint the trim/vent areas?
I used a matte black paint. I’m not sure which brand since it’s been so long.
@@Ben.Builds. No problem, thanks!
Gonna be doing this same kit soon. Any suprises?
The headlights. They are difficult to line up and to wire, but it’s definitely doable. I wish I had video of that part to help everyone out.

Hi Ben, What's the Cost Estimation to get this done. Will like to budget for it.
I did it myself so the only cost I had was materials (about $3000). It would cost a lot more if you higher someone to do i for you.

Nope. Everything is fiberglass.
@@Ben.Builds. nice thanks def will consider this
