Dirt Diggler when you have to scream and assert authority it becomes a nice natural fake voice and attitude if you understand what I’m saying (and to the immature kids who are mentally blind who will reply trash just sit down and grow up)
Lizzo? She is sorry if people get offended but she is the black person that shows of her body but she is fat and does not care even though my opinion is unpleasant to look at
You get that frame rail fixed add a rear gusset kit to the front. I’m guessing the crush zone on the very front of the rail needs to be replaced also. I think you can actually buy the front frame section to put in new.
@@cas3661 he said your the guy that does diesel conversions he swapped a f350 with a cummins and he is swapping a mustang and he didnt recognize him till he said he was from kansas the diese bros are from Utah
Plus not to mention all the work it would take to fit all the computers and make mounts that the engine and trans need to sit plus i think the motor wont even sit where it needs to
Outstanding video Westen! I think this will be a fun rebuild to follow. Those rims are not stock. That's a more expensive Raptor with the sunroof & graphics. Probably has the high end stereo too (and obviously the cover). Put a catch can on it!
It is (or was) a beautiful truck, but I wouldn’t have touched that mangled thing with a 10-foot pole. Then again, I don’t have the money or connections you have, so you’ve definitely got a better chance at fixing it that I would. Good luck, and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next. 🔥
Somebody went YeeHaw with it and landed wrong. I've got a 2010 Raptor SVT and I'm the 3rd owner. I use mine down on the farm. It gets plenty of mud but I do take care of it. These trucks are bad trucks but nothing is indestructible with the right dummy behind the wheel. I hate to see this beauty in that shape but I'm glad that you got it and are going to restore it and treat it right. Congrats and I am showing the love as a new subscriber.❤
If the motor and everything checks out just re frame it , the Hutterites I use to custom feed hogs for buy bent and dent pickups and semi's all the time. They got a mountain of GMC/Chev 3/4 ton, and semi frames in their junk pile. It don't take a couple of them long to do a truck and some of them aren't the brightest bulbs in the pack L.O.L . Thanks for the video, looking forward to more on this one. Take care guys.
3:42 ...as someone that continually goes thru border checkpoints in the beautiful country if Texas, I have to stay, I absolutely love the border agents I've met over the years, great guys and ladies, and always have a stand up attitude!!!
Westin, I think you’re turning into a ford guy. I joined because of the fummins build and have stayed for 2 mustangs, one classic Cummins, and now a raptor?? Love this truck! Keep up the good work man!
I don't know if anyone has said this ..but look inside the center console under one of the cupholders. There's a spot for a key under there. On some F150s (I'm not sure which year) there's also a spot to hide a key in the center console wemhere there is a little retractable small door (where the 2 USB connections are). Check those spots. You never know. There might be a key there. 😁😁 Good luck. I can't wait to see the build.
From what i understand the Raptor frame is just a stock F150 frame with slightly different shock mounts. The bent frame should not be a big deal, just swap it out.
The ford frames comes in sections, front, middle and back. I have Seen many of the front frame sections changed. Need a good frame Mach e and a good welder
Weston, Raptors are nice trucks, just not with EcoBoost V-6 engines. The new Raptors are the reason that the 6.2 liter V-8 powered trucks bring so much money.
@@DemsRdisguisedredcoats+ I'll give it to you that the Raptor with the V-6 twin turbo makes horse power and torque, but at what cost? EPA estimate for the Raptor is 15/18mpg. Not very stellar is it? Since you brought up torque, the Ram 1500 with the Cummins Eco diesel is rated @ 22/32 mpg and has an 1100 lb higher tow capacity. The Ram with the diesel runs less than $55k while the Raptor is over $80k. I personally like the styling Raptor. I just don't like the V-6 Eco Boost engine. If you watch the FordTechMakuloco channel and EcoBoost problems.
@@gungadinn No. 1 nobody buys the Raptor for the fuel mileage. No.2 the V6 is better than the V8 in every aspect. No.3 the gen 2 V6 has addressed all the problems of the gen 1 engine. No. 4 you, like everyone else, disses the EcoBoost just because it's a V6..small minds hate change. You were the one lamenting the V8 to V6 change with no explanation. The V8 sounds better? Electric motors is on the horizon..all the 'sound' guys will freak smooth out.
Written off/ scrap vehicles are never allowed to be re-registered up in this part of the frozen tundra, we do not let them ever back on the road. Parts is all the value they will ever get.
Does the term " Duck and cover" seem appropriate to anyone else watching this video? Seriously, if anyone can get this monster back in top shape I have faith that Weston is the man.
I saw Raptor, immediately clicked and subbed to your channel. So glad I found this. I might be a player when it comes time for you to sell, IF you sell.....
Westin: buys a wreck Fans: "alright..." Westin: "they like it. We need more!" Fans: "literally just last week...you know what, nevermind. It's content, and it's entertaining...the only one it's hurting is his wallet." 3 weeks later... Westin "look what I bought!" Fans "bruh..."
That border patrol agent was doing his best impression of Sylvester stallone 😂
Lol
Never mind he’s voice he said he was big follower and couldn’t remember he’s name 🤣
LOL
@@R_RPerformance everyones a big follower when they meet a youtuber in reality theyve prob watched a handful of videos
Hahaha yeah
the agent looked like he was trying so hard to make his voice deep
Tried real hard
He was.
I was about to say the same thing, hahahaha
post practice of Rona.....times have changed, deeper voice kinda means more control in agency eyes right
I don’t really think so
That Border Agent should be doing voice overs.
THAT WAS AN AUDIO DUB
Way better career than being a federal stooge, and likely pays better too
@@gertraba4484 LMAO no it wasn't.
@@joey6704 like fer shure,he should be in a HANNA BARBARA cartoon
cool voice sound
At 4:00 minutes the officer’s voice I thought that was a voice over lol 😂🤣
Howdy partner
Ruben Braekman I’m a cowboy on a steel horse i RISE I’m wanted dead or alive
Pretty sure he was playing around
3:33 cowboy hat and a manly voice
By the way I mean no disrespect to those who “serve and protect” ! If your wondering
Dirt Diggler he seemed like a pretty cool guy
Operator Benji yea he was cool

East DallasKick's yes I do understand the need to maintain authority
Dirt Diggler yes.
I like your optimism. "It's only a bent frame, how hard could it be?" 😉
ASK THE GUY WHO BOUGHT GAS MONKEY C10 , HE'S STILL ON IT!!!!!!!!
For sure man. Doesn't even look fazed about that. That's a great attitude. I'd be ready to jump. Lol
“This truck here is thicker than Lizzo”
Gregory Roy thats a thick truck
I think lizzo is wider than the truck is ..
Just the way i like em
Thankfully the raptor looks and performs better. 😂
Bro died when he said that.
“This truck here is thicker than lizzo.”
Nah I don’t think so
Lizzo? She is sorry if people get offended but she is the black person that shows of her body but she is fat and does not care even though my opinion is unpleasant to look at
Damn 😂
“If I cover this eye, it looks good...and if I cover this eye, it looks even better!” 🤣😂
Gerald: quote him right " cover- close".
imaslowlerner 😂🤣👍
I thank you have a 2017/ or 2018 Ford Raptor. Because of the blue Fox shocks They change the fox shocks in 2019 . To Orange one.
With the skills you have, I have every confidence that you will successfully rebuild it! Looking forward to the videos in this series
You get that frame rail fixed add a rear gusset kit to the front. I’m guessing the crush zone on the very front of the rail needs to be replaced also. I think you can actually buy the front frame section to put in new.
I've adopted the "expertly cataloged" phrase every time my wife tells me to put something back where it belongs
Would totally fuck up the whole balance design of the raptor
First time watcher. This guy is awesome. Just hilarious. I am subscribing. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽
That was awesome that the border patrol knew you
DirtBikeGuy04 he actually thought he was one of the diesel brothers but westen didn't care lol🤣🤣😂
@@cas3661 he said your the guy that does diesel conversions he swapped a f350 with a cummins and he is swapping a mustang and he didnt recognize him till he said he was from kansas the diese bros are from Utah
Cody Atkins but he said " you're one of those bearded guys that does diesel conversions right"
I love this channel. You always manage to make me smile. Keep it up!
Westin: Frames bent, hmmmm 2019 FORD RAPTOR MOTOR SWAP THE SQUARE BODY!
Thats a damn insult to the square body!
Plus not to mention all the work it would take to fit all the computers and make mounts that the engine and trans need to sit plus i think the motor wont even sit where it needs to
Yes do 1 gen 6.7l or v8 in mmmm i can.
It's a 2017 he lied about the year in the title probably to get more views I found the auction listing.
MrSilverado1982 might be an insult, but it would be the fastest Chevy on earth for sure...
He’s attitude is gold it makes the whole blog
I want one of those so bad Weston . Still saving my coins I’ll have one one day very cool buddy
save more then you need, I had one and it costs a lot when you break something. :)
I have a 2013 f150 single cab I kinda want to do a raptor build with.
Was that customs agent being serious with his voice?? He sounds like he should be a radio DJ that’s on at 2am!
I was thinking the same thing🤣🤣
Norman Alvarez... definitely for like a soft rock station that likes to play Matchbox 20
Eric Davis dude it said border patrol everywhere how did you still manage to say customs
Ryan Reyes sorry man... so I guess you must be the guy in the video then!
That a impressive suspension if it's stronger then the frame
Darin Fitz Those El Destructo drill pipe rear bumpers can turn a frame into a map of Tennessee with a light tap on one corner
Westen “Infinite Money” Champlin 😂😍
Cant wait for this build. Love the Raptors
I've never seen someone expertly catalog so many parts... how very professional of ya!!!
Sweet trailer Westen! Red with the aluminum wheels really makes it look sharp.
Westin is a man of the people with this build!!
It looks like this is going to be a great project. Can't wait for the next episode.
Outstanding video Westen! I think this will be a fun rebuild to follow. Those rims are not stock. That's a more expensive Raptor with the sunroof & graphics. Probably has the high end stereo too (and obviously the cover). Put a catch can on it!
Raptors are frickin SWEET!
hope everything goes well fixing it up, looking forward to the next video
I am sad we missed all the travel banter! LOL On another subjec great buy! Looking forward to watching the rebuild!
She's gonna be a handful... I am genuinely excited to see this get slapped together!
It is (or was) a beautiful truck, but I wouldn’t have touched that mangled thing with a 10-foot pole. Then again, I don’t have the money or connections you have, so you’ve definitely got a better chance at fixing it that I would. Good luck, and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next. 🔥
He said it was only eight hundred miles with a smile on his face and then all expression went the other way when he said 12 hours
Call here Craptor....lol 😬💪🏻
I’m inspired by your channel! I wish I had the funds to do one of these rebuilds. Keep it up man!
Between this new build and the Cummins swapped mustang, this channel gets an instant click when I get a video notification!
I’m stationed at fort bliss in Texas! Good to have you pass through!

Dont forget the Peterbilt
Dont forget the 2018 f250 gasser truck as well
@@mileaftermile7797 I just did a huge facepalm (one might say an 18-wheeler sized facepalm). Can't wait to see what else I completely forgot!
Can't wait to see you repair the rapid. Wish good luck with the project.
First video I’ve ever watched and I though he was luke combs 😂, gained a subscriber
me too 😂
Same here 😂😂❤️
Best looking raptor i have ever seen!
I'm from El paso! Love your channel!
Sebastian Lerma me too
Would someone give this man his own tv show already damn it!!!.....We're all waiting for it!!!
Nice! '19's have the live shocks so this is
What a great video to watch on my birthday !!
4:05"cool as a cat!" New quote of the year...

Nah nah 7:48 better lol

Omg, I am so excited for this project!
Man I’m in El Paso big fan of all the videos would have been badass to meet you good luck with the raptor
“Westen Champlin, nice to meet you” -Yes SIr 🤣
This is one of the best Automotive Channels on CZcams! Keep the vids coming; I can't wait to see how the Raptor turns out.
When it’s bent behind the wheel like that is really tough to pull you may want to replace the frame on it
No point in pulling. Just cut and replace.
You all came through my home in New Mexico, Ruidoso Downs area. Next time check with me and I'll buy lunch.
Westen posted a video, sure I’ll watch it!
From what i understand the Raptor frame is just a stock F150 frame with slightly different shock mounts. The bent frame should not be a big deal, just swap it out.
Westen: “I don’t think it is”
Siri: “Oh hell yes it is”
me LOL
Had to come from facebook to visit your channel, and I dont know nothing about cars but ur a funny and cool guy man
"sits down": "expertly cataloged"
Can you do a tour of your collection and a update on the ford TW30 by the way great video and congrats on the truck
I'm excited to see this build
The ford frames comes in sections, front, middle and back.
I have Seen many of the front frame sections changed.
Need a good frame Mach e and a good welder
That border man went through puberty at age 10,then again at 12,and once more at 14
got this video recommended..laughed in the first 2 minutes..subscribed..now time to binge watch em during lockdown!
I wish I had your attitude on life. You're so happy man! Lol
Been waiting for u to nab a ford raptor... about damn time
I love your vids I always click instantly
Been though that inspection station plenty of times
Love the videos! Looks like somebody already had *waaay* too much fun with that raptor 🤣
This build is going to be nutz! Looking forward to it!
“This truck here is thicker than Lizzo” 💀🤣
Looking forward to this project and finishing the Cummings 12v Mustang. What a great channel. Kudos.
6:50 wouldn't see my arm in there lol
I have the same truck in blue. Looking forward to watching you fix it up!

This is going to be a dope rebuild
Aye Elpaso, Texas my beautiful hometown
Missed opportunity for a 12 hour vid of Westen making silly jokes while driving.
"Who Knew Jacking It, Was So Hard" LMAO
I’m so excited for this one this is like one of the few videos I’ve commented on
Who knew Jackin it was so hard🤣🤣🤣
Damn fork lift, they actualy do more damages with the fork lift than the collision. I’m pissed off each and every time.
HOW FREAKING FAMOUS IS WESTIN!!!!
That’s gonna be Westons New Ride!!!! Hey fix the frame put on some sheet metal and Rock and Roll!!!!
Man that's awesome that y'all came down to El Paso, would've liked to meet you guys
You in El Paso? Am in the eastside El Paso vista del sol
You know you’re from Alabama when you appreciate how nice another mans trailer is.
This thing looks like something thats gonna be fun to expertly catalogue with the boys!
Always look forward to your vids man..
If Westin hadn’t bought this, Matt Carriker would have.
Or Bobby
Or Buck Strickland
OR VEHCOR???
Facts lol demolitia
They should do a collab

In all seriousness though, keep at it.
Can't wait to see what you do to it. Hope it's not tore up too bad! Looks pretty rough! Never mind. That frame damage is scary stuff.
