I would like to think that the reason his videos take so long is because his editor is taking the time to count all of them and add it up and that's really the accurate number.
I feel like we won't see that happen, at least on this channel. Maybe if he had a behind the scenes channel where he can be more relaxed and like you said raw/less edited then it would be great.

youtube gives you a very clear picture of what content gets watched. there are alot of people who can sit through 40 min of raw footage but the majority will start skipping and opt out and that is a huge red flag for youtube algorithm. if you want views and money. you keep the audiece at the edge of their seat for 11 mins instead of 40 mins of raw that gets watched 100% by like 5% of viewers.
If anyone is wondering about the Tank Chassis, M3 Stuarts and M113 APC's where commonly used for the chassis and also easy to get ahold of. The M3 Stuart chassis was easy to build with very little metal and you could get at the time M113 APC's with bad engines or decommissioned ones really cheap as well after the war ended.
the m22 locust used the same suspension set up and that's what threw me off. seeing the whole height of it does screw m3 Stuart. thanks for clearing that up!
WOW! i remember this M4 Tank with an 86 Ford Ranger body racing Bigfoot, also there was William Townes Virginia Beach Beast and im sure there was one called Orange Blossom Special locomotive.
As a bloke who owns an M3 Stuart tank. I can tell you that what you have i'snt a stuart, no matter what anyone says. Long long ago in the before times, that was an M4 hi-speed tractor from ww2 and looks like a barrel of laughs...good stuff!
Oh wow! This thing's an '80s monster truck scene icon! Love how it has the original logo/paint still... I've seen tons of videos of it on youtube facing off againts BigFoot, Virginia Beach Beast and the likes! Very friggin cool to see it still around....subscribed becuase of this , Lol!! Hell yeah!!
You know how some guys just burst onto the scene on TH-cam and you can tell right away they are going to do good? This guy Westen, he's one of them! Great video and tank Ranger Westen!
You know that it’s not going to be cheap. It’s not likely that you are going to find one that you will be able to just buy one of these. You will most likely have to pay someone to build you one from the ground up. You can always build one of them yourself, if you have the skills required to do so. Either way, it’s going to cost you a lot of money to get one. Having one built for you seems like the best option in my opinion. I wouldn’t want to buy anything that someone else has already beat on. Plus,if you build it yourself, or pay to have it built, then you will be able to have it built exactly how you want it!
Weston is hands down one of the most entertaining content creator ever.... With that being said and after watching the tank video I'm now wondering are we about to witness the birth of the "SmokeTank" or the "GodZillaTank"... Bc with that large of an engine bay you could shove a huge motor in there... My vote is either a big cam Cummins or 6nz cat from a semi.... Either would be killer.... Keep up the awesome work Weston... Redneck Science 4 Life.....
Westen, what those zooming need are three sided box, with two caps at the front and rear of them. This means that there'll be one at the top of them, two at either side of those tubes, plus one at front and rear of them. All you need to do is to weld them at each corner of that five paneled box. The sid that doesn't have a panel will slide onto those zoomies. By the way, zoomies is another word for headers. No water will be able to slide inside of them after they're put on.
I have an 88 ford ranger I'm in the process of 5.3 chevy vortec swap. And I have a Baja body kit on order for it as well. I can't wait for it to be done
WES This was built by my uncle's out of West Palm Beach FL. Have many memories and tons of videos of the original driver Butch Lowe winning contest with it. Even beating Big Foot in car crush event. Was BB ford Powered with NOS in the beginning
I don’t understand how someone can post so little but have so many subs and then I remember who this is lol. This guy needs to post more because it makes my day
Oh man that's awesome. Child hood memories right there. I remember seeing car killer and the no problem bronco monster truck lots of times in the late 80s early 90s!
I was raised being A GM lover Mainly Chevy's but anything general motor but I have a soft spot for Ford Rangers. I learned how to drive a stick shift in a late eighties Ford Ranger and was only 7 years old funny part was. I was helping pull Out our family tractor it was stuck next to the creek bed I managed to pull the tractor out and I only stalled the engine one time would call that a success
Sorry I was watching at work on lunch…my Uncle knows everything about the ranger tank truck because he built it! I’m going to send this to him to watch.
NNNOOO WAAAYYY YOU BOUGHT THIS Dude I'm pretty sure I have original video of this tank truck on VHS!!!! I swear this things a legend, nice to see its still in good shape like 30 years later 😅
Hello I'm a big fan of the channel. Ive always been a do it myself guy. A few years ago an under insured lady totaled my truck which started a serious of terrible events that drove me into a dark place. I've spent every day since then trying to repair my life. I know your also a working man and wanted to give this a shot because you may be in a position to help so it's a hail Mary for me. I also love fords and had 6 rangers over my life. But I wanted to ask if you guys had any old rangers around that you would be willing to donate so I can start to get my business back off the ground. I know it's not a small ask and you guys can't read every comment. So I don't expect to hear anything. But it's worth a shot. So anyways love your channel keep up the great episodes! Love you guys!

I grew up watching the car killer on TV. I always thought it was so cool. Glad to see it’s still around and brought back to life
A piece of monster truck history! Thankful to see it’s still around, even if it’ll be short lived on this channel
Yes! This truck, the Virginia Beach Beast, and Bigfoot Fastraxx to name a few.
Car Killer and Virginia Beach Beast racing and sled pulling in Blood, Sweat, and Gears was awesome.
ok
Yes! I was curious if anyone else recognized this machine. The old monster truck tank days were fun times.
My Uncle Butch Lowe Built that rig in WEST PALM BEACH FL.
Well damn… two Westen videos in under a month. We must be blessed lol
thats what i was thinkin
He is about as authentic as one can get! Love this guy
Videos are definitely getting highly processed and short leaving me wanting more. I'd love to see a build series or something that's more raw footage.

I thought that was the locust too, but I knew the Stuart had the same stuff
according to a quick search, google says its an m4 personnel carrier ww2 era.
No it's not. It's an Allis Chalmers M4 High Speed Tractor chassis
Define 'cheap'
WOW! i remember this M4 Tank with an 86 Ford Ranger body racing Bigfoot, also there was William Townes Virginia Beach Beast and im sure there was one called Orange Blossom Special locomotive.
The OBS Locomotive tank is in the hands of Freedom Racing Monster Trucks out in California. Terry Woodcock, the guy who owns FRMT, is restoring it.
I remember seeing the loco tank in Australia years ago. Paula Harbeck driving it..?
You’re just livin the dream aren’t y’a? 😂 whenever you upload I know it’s some batshit crazy content, there’s nobody like Westen
As a ranger guy, how has he not raced in Cleetus's Danger Ranger 9000 yet?

Or just slap some tractor flaps on there, farmers solved this problem a long time ago
Dude, I’ve seen that truck like three times in the early 90s at monster truck events. What a blast from the past!
I love the shear enjoyment and excitement on your face as steamroll everything in your path!

Whenever Westen uploads my day is instantly a whole lot better. Love the videos man, much love
Everytime I watch a westen video I gain a little more respect for rednecks.
I remember seeing that on the very first monster truck shows on tv back in the 80s. Nice find.
It’s always a good day when Westin posts a video
its always a good day when weston posts
Real Deboss Garage vibes. Y’all need to do a tank truck battle. See who has the better tank truck. Lol
love the 2 stroke detroit
I saw this truck when I was 13 in 1987! Please make more videos of it!
This is wild! My Uncle built that truck tank back in the 80's! He use to go to monster truck events and truck pull events!
Well, Westen, now you and Deboss Garage can have a tank battle
Deboss would drag this thing clear back to Canada. They could maybe race, but Rich has like a million gears so who knows.
Yeah, plus Deboss runs a C15 in his Sherminator
We need a video on the Dodge charger
*spends 4 days building truck* "Once this thing cool off we can rip it for another 30 seconds!!" gotta love car guys

you should put an old school 2 stroke Detroit diesel in it they make em up to 16 cylinders
Man that thing brings back great childhood memory's.
Seems like the most practical vehicle I've seen in a minute.
Love it! You need a tall deck bbc… it will handle the load better and still rip. Also probably need a beefy mechanical fan to keep her cool.
