We keep uncovering more damage with our wrecked ford Raptor. SUBSCRIBE FOR DAILY VLOGS! ► bit.ly/subscrib... Previous: vlog ► • Video ADD ME ON Instagram: / westengw Facebook: / westengw
Really enjoy watching you and your brother working together. Your brother is a wealth of knowledge. You both are unstoppable when together. Really impressed that O'Reilly came over to help out. You guys arent afraid of stuff you eventually find wrong. You see a problem you attack it. You guys are a great joy to watch while the rest of us, the country, is locked down. Keep on plodding along. It's great you are able to do all that you do. Looking forward to more of your videos. Stay safe, stay healthy. Until then my "brothers". Thanks!
I can not believe Westen made a video about rebuild the front end, installing front and rear suspension, dropping the motor and dropping the cab all in 1 video! That should've been at least 7 videos!!
Did you check lash and pinion bearing preload on that diff? It is more involved than simple swap.. I destroyed my rear diff because I slightly over torqued pinion nut when I changes seal. Took 1/2 year before it failed..
Ford is still working and selling parts and servicing vehicles. I am a ford tech. Thanks for telling people we aren’t working or building parts. I’d appreciate you telling people the opposite, we need work to keep our families fed. Don’t comment on what you don’t know. You have a big following and it’s not a joke.
To have cracked that differential like that, the truck must've be traveling at a very high rate of speed. I'm kinda surprised you were able to find another differential housing so quickly for the truck. Nice video Weston......
All Raptors come stock with 4.10 gears, front and rear. The gen1 and gen2 front differentials are the same also. So you can literally grab any raptor front diff and it would work. Only option is the Torsen front diff, which is nice but not completely necessary.
It was more enteraining watching this video than any others... You know when your sitting in your somewhat new raptor, you are going to be sitting on top of the world... 🌎 your show is the best vehicle assembly show! How many people are excited about seeing Wes in his Raptor?
Surprised you got some stuff done in this video, thumbs up my man. Don't go back to commentary filled videos like you have been, I was drawn into your videos because each time you got something done.
Westen, all positive from me, no hate , no criticism, no downgrading in any way..... just love, your very entertaining and I look forward to more from your raptor build. Like you say "do it too it" 👍
This guy is awesome! My wife and I have been watching this Raptor project and we love the enthusiasm and the exp that goes into these videos! Nice work, keep it up!!
If he didn't he's going to be replacing it all hope he did cause I was thinking the same thing I was going to replace mine until I seen all the tools I would need to do it right
Was the gear pattern even checked on the front diff. You have to set the pinion preload/carrier preload and adjust with shims. Probably will chop out the gear set rather quickly.
Luke Sanders glad i wasn't the only person who noticed that .... Honestly i would had stripped the differential down and welded the case ! I am fully capable of welding most metals but i have a friend / co-worker who is a VERY tallented welder . The damage on the pumpkin is a walk in the park for him .
How you pull of these miracles is beyond me, Westen! Maybe it's that bright, positive attitude of yours. Then again, it may be you natural fear of big-ass cracks!! Either way, well done, sir. Well-done!!!!
Wayne Heckman if they would have cleaned all the parts going back on the new frame, chances are they might have found anything else that needs attention. It kills me just to throw dirty parts on a new frame. Tells me that didn’t plan on doing a thorough inspection of all the old parts. It’s like throwing lipstick on a pig.
Nice to you guys working hard all along. Too many are taking advantage in seeing this as a way to be lazy or an extra long vacation. KUDOS to you and those still working hard!!!
Me my closest buds change things all the time, building hot rods 4x4s and custom bikes. Thus the 1st time I watched your video, really cool it reminded me of all the fun we had and there was never a dull moment 😎 I subscribed to your channel, my compliments sir
Tech tip. When you have a choice as to which way to put a nut and bolt together such as a shock bolt, try and put them in so that if they need to come out at a later stage, its easier to do. In other words, make it so it can be tapped thru with a pin punch rather that pulled using a vice grip.
I loves the way Westen so excited rebuild and restore those things and the engine on the new frame of Raptor. I like it and hes so funny 😂 . It's good to see what their doing tho
Man I wish you guys would do something about the video zipping in and out and across and and and and. I love watching your channel but this is hard on the eyes.
Dom really is just Bobby Hill all grown up.
Damn it Bobby
@@rubber_duckie1536 read that in his voice
@@King_Springmeyer lol
His shirt said relax dip enjoy 😂😂
Keep up the good work brother!!
Man yall put in some major work in this video! Thank you for excellent content!!
Hey Randy, no refills here. Hopefully when you have the workshop built at AARHeadquarters you too can start rebuilding again.....
I spit my lunch out when You asked Dom if he used the crane to put his girlfriend to bed! 🤣
same haha
And his next sentence was “ I just pulled on that forever”
“We’re short on lawn chairs to watch the tornado”
As a midwestern dude I feel that one.
We NEED more Westen vlogs, atleast guaranteed once a week maybe 2?! Pleaseeeee
Do that please
I 3 rd that
4 👍🏼🤣
5th that @westin

Thanks!
"allz we gotta do is rebuild literally everything. AYYY whats the O'rielys part number for an entire raptor?"
We know it will be expertly cataloged
I'm willing to bet when it's all said and done he has only about 1/2 the blue book value invested. A pretty good profit margin if he sells it.
What a deal. You get the O'Reilly's guy help you build your ride.
@@DaveJohnsonad5nm No, not really.

LOL there are many big ass cracks in this video
Lol
Ya i saw one at 15:40 that should be fixed...hahaha
saw another at 10:20
@@johnnydngrs
Never knew cracks were worthy of a time stamp. ;)
Heads-up: Hoonigan is putting a diesel in a Camaro. You have competition.
There is already a Miramax in a camera its basass
I feel like Hoonigan caters to a different demographic then you will find here.
Ol cleeter done had it...and roadkill
@@stuartpickles6907 I'll watch that. This guy jumps around way too much
Hoonigans just a copy cat! Westin is a pioneer!
Westen deserves more views, taking trucks apart and putting them back together piece by piece is just something else.
Nice work, wish I had a shop that huge. Enjoy the videos guys, keep up the good work. No drama, no cursing, no tantrums..
Now that’s a true “frame off” restoration
Super bad ass, but usually the parts are cleaned on a frame off...
night stalker yep that drove me a little crazy too!
Maybe we are just OCD LOL, I would have had everything cleaned and painted and sealed esp since I am in the salt loving North East.
Wow incredible job Westen. Looks like the project was more than you expected but you guys are powering through it.
Did you check lash and pinion bearing preload on that diff? It is more involved than simple swap.. I destroyed my rear diff because I slightly over torqued pinion nut when I changes seal. Took 1/2 year before it failed..
nope, he didnt. diff is probably gonna blow.
Let alone did he also check to see if the ring and pinion teeth were meshing properly and adding the correct spacers on either side of the carrier.
In case nobody noticed Westen and dom are trained professionals and they are boob tube mechanics which make them again professional!
Have you not watched this channel? Dude literally can rebuild anything that has an engine. The chances of you knowing more than him are slim to none.

Finally another video quarantine has got me needing content 😂😂
Glad when its all finished and running, keep it up Western.
FOR REAL Everytime I watch Westen I am always in a better mode my the end!!! Thanks man I needed that today....
Love your channel and all the energy you guys have! Keep killin it!!
Western saved me from boredom today from being in quarantine 🔥💪.

This is a great project. Real men rebuild differentials like its nbd. Impressed by your unpretentious skills as always!
This has been a long 5 days man I wish westen would upload everyday or every other day like if u agree
You guys never cease to amaze me. Love these videos! Stay safe
Hello, Western, you are always optimistic, always confront your challenges. I like these characteristics of yours.
It was more enteraining watching this video than any others... You know when your sitting in your somewhat new raptor, you are going to be sitting on top of the world... 🌎 your show is the best vehicle assembly show! How many people are excited about seeing Wes in his Raptor?
547K subs Weston! I remember when you were surprised to have just over 35K Congrats and keep it up bro!
This episode has more crack than the streets of Chicago.
These videos are the only thing getting me through this quarantine.
Another milestone! You never fail to entertain me with your work and personality.
Great people,friends helping you....wish everything works 100% perfect...my respect.....from Puerto Rico...
Y’all gotta race Hoonigans diesel Camaro when the diesel Mustang is done
To hell with that dude. They're like 2000 miles apart.
Roadtrip!!
Cleetus galaxie
“This part here is expensive” and immediately Throws it on the bench lol I love these guys
my dad and I love watching your videos, keep it cataloged!
Almost 5 grand views in 6 mins congrats WESTON!!!!!
@robbie G dude I'm happy for Weston, he's the person I look up too and to see him succeed after alot of hard work is amazing
Surprised you got some stuff done in this video, thumbs up my man. Don't go back to commentary filled videos like you have been, I was drawn into your videos because each time you got something done.
Well done Westen, Dom and others that's a hell of a Job.
Watching them rebuild vehicles could never get old, they make it fun and worth watching...
Im. So glad queen B got back with you I've been worried. Havent heard from her in a while.
I laughed more than I should have when you Hank Hill'd "GD Bobby!"
Westen, all positive from me, no hate , no criticism, no downgrading in any way..... just love, your very entertaining and I look forward to more from your raptor build. Like you say "do it too it" 👍
This guy is awesome! My wife and I have been watching this Raptor project and we love the enthusiasm and the exp that goes into these videos! Nice work, keep it up!!
She fed her husband to her tigers lol!
#TigerKing
“Straighten” (rip in half), the old frame out with your bulldozer and tractor!
Duca, because it would make a good fun video
put a real frame under it
How about instead, chain the old frame to a giant tree and try ripping it in half with the dozer
Westen, you seem like a great guy to hang out with. I really enjoy your videos and builds! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video.... that was fun watching the Raptor come together, she feeling more better for sure.... Stay safe Wes and family...
Westen can we please get a Cummins first GEN update
yes this!^^^
He sold it to me person man
Yes, update the 1st gen, it kinda just disappeared.
This
Missed opportunity: When installing the drive shaft, lube the splines. Then you could have said "Always grease your shaft." 😁
Glad to see raptor is progressing
No big step for a high stepper, glad to see your still at it.
"Dom knows all about big ass cracks" 😂
14:22 "we'll just roll the frame fordward" that makes sense to me, wouldn't want to roll this truck dodgeward or chevyward.
You're alive!
Just the right amount of DIY project, humor and butt crack.
Again a very nice video Westen and crew !! Looks again like a nice Truck !!!! Cant wait until the whole project is ready !
7:19 cracked me up good 😂
I didn't see you set the bearing lash on the new diff.
Haha...really think they did that?
Hopefully someone did LOL
If he didn't he's going to be replacing it all hope he did cause I was thinking the same thing I was going to replace mine until I seen all the tools I would need to do it right
Subscribed to see this series pan out, so awesome to see you guys already slapping the new parts on the frame, and getting ready to reattach the cab!
Coming along great job pouring with love from Missouri ❤
Hunter Smith where you at? Stockton, MO here! 🙋♂️

Yeah, didn't see a dial gauge or gear marking compound on that work bench.

Thank you sweet baby Jesus for entertainment... well, thank you Westin and crew really, BUT SERIOUSLY lol

A budget breakdown would be nice. Always enjoy watching .
Finally I was so excited when I saw this video
“My name is John Wayne”- Dom 2020
I'm hoping you just skipped the gear set up steps in the video ... Nice work boys looking forward to see this beast rolling down the avenue
You tackled a big job, proud of you.
I hope you set up those gears right and didn't just shove the old gears into to the new diff.
I was thinking the same thing, I have never just dropped a R&P in an axle.
Amd ford diffs can sometimes be difficult from experience
"Carole Baskin..THAT Bii" lol
Westen other than the cracked diff I'm surprised there wasn't other cracked or busted parts like mounts things like that

I'm not seeing Waylon, I hope he's ok?
Jon Blondell Covid + morbid obesity = no bueno
Westen, you have competition. The guys at Hoonigan are also building a diesel muscle car.
Cleetus Mcfarland has a cummins in an old Ford sedan and there is a very serious Nova with a Duramax running high 8s in the quarter mile.
John Parrish yeah but I was thinking that they’re both modern muscle cars with diesels
Me my closest buds change things all the time, building hot rods 4x4s and custom bikes. Thus the 1st time I watched your video, really cool it reminded me of all the fun we had and there was never a dull moment 😎 I subscribed to your channel, my compliments sir

You really need to go spend about 5 grand on some Milwaukee power tools.
When are you going to take the Fummins into the Ford dealership for an oil change?
I can't imagine anymore big ass cracks showing up in a westin video! !!! Gr8 progress.
That was a huge Moment!!!! You just installed her ❤️😃
I keep waiting on goonzsquad's dad to make a random appearance
9:00 Carol Baskin lmao
Easy day at work, left on time without having to stay over and a Westin video, what more could anyone ask for...
This is by far one of the greatest channels I have subscribed to. Keep up the great work.
If you don’t like it anymore I’ll be happy to take it off your hands 😃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The irritation of a former axle Assembly tech from Dana
I loves the way Westen so excited rebuild and restore those things and the engine on the new frame of Raptor. I like it and hes so funny 😂 . It's good to see what their doing tho
I like it when Westen the frame was bent and he had to get a new one for the Ford Raptor
Dom looks like he’s being held there against his will
"Essential personnel"
Can’t wait for the mustang to be dun
Yea I've been waiting for that one too!
I can't wait to see it
Cumstain*
He’s one of the genuinely funny people
Good freakin work Westen cant wait to see this monster back together and tearing up the road.
Damn it Weston I smashed the like button now talk my screen down at work....it's got a big ass crack in it thank Weston lmao
Dam Wes, shes getting close. Soon you will be known as WESTON THE RAPTURE MAN!
Wow that's awesome looking good so far can't wait to hear it fire up and see you drive it
You guys are fun to watch. You remind me of me and my buddy 50 plus years ago. Keep on keepin on.
$5 says that engine or transmission has a hairline crack in it that they won’t find out until later.
I think they are also going to find out that the axle shafts and axle tubes are bent as well...
Many more misses and Weston will be doing something else. Very expensive stuff to find after you start rebuilding. Hard to do in a rented garage.
Man I wish you guys would do something about the video zipping in and out and across and and and and. I love watching your channel but this is hard on the eyes.
It's called the Jello Effect. It's common on many CMOS sensor cameras when panning quickly.
11:14 westen was so fed up with this shit the created clones to get it done faster
When you see parts everywhere, we call that 'yard sale' lol, keep up the great work guys.
Hey may I ask you something is that car a 1968-69 Coronet super bee or a roadrunner GTX satellite
@@AlejandroP1980s its a 318 1968 satellite sport, soon to have a gen 3 hemi, just have to put it in lol
