I put tracks on my ford raptor truck to get it ready for a trip up a mountain. Follow us on Instagram: / westengw Facebook: / westengw Track system www.americantra...
Great too see the fun side of it but I taught he would have shown more of the installation side of it also. Probably not much to fitting it but when you see it you think I can t wait to see how these are fitted. I'd say the cops just see weston and think what's he got now.
I'm 67 years young and I "bust a gut" laughing at you having fun. Thank you Westin. I told you when you started your channel you were going to be successful, and I wish you continued success and happiness.
I’m 58 feeling old, seeing these kids do fun stuff has me itching to go buy a set and put them on my new Ranger Tremor, I’d actually use them, I’d also buy Mattracks Brand.
@@Lq32332 really? dude thats cool I never knew that I thought you had to have tires That means you can buy and use an apc on the street if it has rubber tracks
If you own a ww2 US half track (big truck, but rear wheel is replaced by tracks), you can drive it on any street because those tracks were OEM rubber whilst German made were all steel If you actually read all the DOT regs, you can find alot of loop holes
The police to the chief Police, “uhhh we have a problem” Chief, “ at least it is not Westen” Police, “uhhh yea that’s the problem” Chief, “ what the hell did he do this time”
Police: well sir he has Raptor Tank. Chief: a Raptor Tank!? Police: Yes sir. Chief: Officer you go and you buy that man a Beer. *hangs up phone Chief: ......man I wish I had a Raptor tank.
Other youtubers: "while I do splurge occasionally I have a smart, well diversified portfolio to ensure fiscal freedom in my future" Westen: "haha raptor tank go vrrrrrr"
Those are some well engineered tracks. Something tells me they were not designed for anything close to those speeds, despite the weight being fine for those four units. So awesome across the mud.
....its a bolt on track system. That means someone had to design, research and manufacture them. The dude who actually designed these is the absolute legend
Congrats on the 1 million! Also I drove an M1A1 in the Army and it is bad ass to say the least!! 68 tons going 45 MPH is something else let me tell you!!
I’m probably the opposite of the target or jus typical demographics for this channel but bein into cars and growin up in the hood this is jus a real cool diff type of perspective.. his personality combined w the content and how he seems to put together is great. Also major benefit that it’s good, interesting content worthwhile watching but it’s clean w no bad language so I can comfortably watch it around my son ..
Nice northstar hot pressure washer, I work for northern tool as the service tech, I fix them things, when your done using it, turn the burner off and run the water till it runs cool out of the gun, helps prolong the life of the machine, any questions feel free to ask
Just ask them for a lube job on 'em. Years ago the dealerships loved for the railroad high-rollers to come in. Since they were "nonstandard" items they were charged prevailing service book fee. Since there was no standard for them it meant whatever the dealership decided to charge them. Naturally it was cheap. Better get a 55 gallon barrel of grease and convert a power washer to your super-duper grease gun! Westen, you are Kansas' version of Tim "The Toolman" Taylor. 😀
That is a epic upgrade. I been on since under 20k and love your realistic builds. And your camera personality is over the top. Keep up the incredible work
Lol, you think he can get insurance on a totaled Raptor with tracks, when the state DMV see’s this video he’d be lucky to still have it registered for the streets.
When Weston turns 75, he's putting treads on his electric old people mover. I can say old people mover because age-wise I'm old. but my mind is still young at heart.
That’s what i need to drive in winter up here in Canada, tired to get stuck with my stupid car everywhere i go. Way to go, don’t stop writing songs eh’! Cheers from Canada ✌🏼
@@wildbill8517 WD is always saying about 'hey I got a million dollars and you don't have shit'. Guy have pretty big mouth. Westen on the other hand is cool dude .
Now I have seen it all and what a credit to you and now I suggest that you place a water tank in the rear of your Raptor with built in wheel arch pressure washers.
Elon Musk: Cybertruck can tow a Ford F-150. Westen: Ford Raptor drives like a tank with tracks! Elon Musk: Write that down...next to the “shattered glass” thing.
I sold the first UNI-TAKS, made by Harry Firstenberg, in 1973. They were a good idea then for PGE etc. but led to 'track-overs' in heavy snow. Also they won't go through water or mud deeper than a couple of feet. But good luck.
You just totally got a new subscriber because you deliver the good content rather than just a bunch of stupid fancy production/editing. So rare these days, keep up the good work man!
He says sorry to the car wash guy so polite. They don’t seem to be very heavy duty maybe for only snow I’ve seen other models that are way beefier but would weigh way more.
“hey you wann race?”
“YEA”
guy in the back of the ambulance: 👁👄👁
😂😂😂 this was too good.
"Finally broke down and bought a pressure washer " aka we got asked very nicely not to return to any car wash in a 20 mile radius. Lol
The owner of the car wash probably gave it to him so long as he never comes back :D
@Fwuffie Sketti is it sad that I understand that
LMFAO
😊
Imagine being the dude that wrecked this raptor looking at it now lol. Congrats on the sick build Westen!
No doubt, he's out there somewhere. He should yell out and tell us a story .

1:58 "I want to put it on my lawnmower" best words I've ever heard😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And his face when he said that😂😂
It was so serious
His happiness is infectious and I can’t help but smile throughout the entire video.
Me too. I felt like I was having just as much fun as he was. Good stuff
I could not help it ether
Great too see the fun side of it but I taught he would have shown more of the installation side of it also. Probably not much to fitting it but when you see it you think I can t wait to see how these are fitted. I'd say the cops just see weston and think what's he got now.

He seems like a genuine fella.
He is very funny!!!

That cops probably like: I feel like there is something illegal about this, but I cant put my finger on it"
Fun thing is that because they are rubber tracks, they are 100% legal on the road!
lol I can Immediately; you need Dot tires to be on any street or highway.
The cop was being nice.
@@Lq32332 really? dude thats cool I never knew that I thought you had to have tires
That means you can buy and use an apc on the street if it has rubber tracks
@@sixpest lol dude you can buy a tank and put rubber tracks on and drive it one the road.

*Mostest epic video ever on TH-cam right HERE!!!*
Epicest*
Really funny video!
You're onto it Randy
U don’t get out much do you
I mean I guess, but I'd consider ken blocks raptor barrelling through snow on tracks way more epic.
Put wheels spacers on the 12 Valve Mustang and put the tracks on it
Never
Yes I can see the burn out know lmao
Yeah just have whistlindiesel build the spacers😂😂
I love westins energy, he’s so funny and such a genuine guy
Those are some well engineered tracks. Something tells me they were not designed for anything close to those speeds, despite the weight being fine for those four units.
So awesome across the mud.
Westen is the dude with impeccable imagination! Nobody can top him..
....its a bolt on track system.
That means someone had to design, research and manufacture them.
The dude who actually designed these is the absolute legend
Ken block and Vaughn gittin had done this already. Still cool tho
It hits different when you leave about 10 minutes from him.
I don't always grin like a fool, but when I do, I'm watching Westen.
Certainly put a big smile on my face: completely pointless, but great fun!! 👌👍
amen brother
His laugh is the best laugh in the world
KSI am i joke to you?
I would like to introduce you to Ryan Sickler. Check out the Honey Dew podcast.
I'm not even that much of a car/truck guy but I love watching this dude. His happiness and joy is infectious
That UPS driver was the best delivery guy ever since he said “Badass”. Hell yeah brother!!!
Congrats on the 1 million!
Also I drove an M1A1 in the Army and it is bad ass to say the least!!
68 tons going 45 MPH is something else let me tell you!!
Westens just such a good dude its hard not to love his goofy ass
Westen: We aren't gonna disturb bigfoot.
Also Westen: *NYOOOOOOM*

Ford raptor? Naw...ford tracktor
I know what I did
I was thinking the same thing.. Traktor!!!
LMAO
One could make some serious do re mi with a plow blade up front.
Or velocitraktor?
You stole my comment 😂
Hell yeah finally hit the 1 mill. That’s awesome one of my favorite channels
Now that there is a smart car wash owner. Keeps ya talking till yer quarters run out so’s he can sell ya some more.
Nice northstar hot pressure washer, I work for northern tool as the service tech, I fix them things, when your done using it, turn the burner off and run the water till it runs cool out of the gun, helps prolong the life of the machine, any questions feel free to ask
I have never been disappointed in any video you have done. You like a big kid in a toy box.
Time to take the raptor to the Ford dealer for a "tire rotation" lol. Between this and the smokestang the Ford dealers are gonna love you.
I think the Porsche dealer has trespassed him and taken out a restraining order. Ford will be next to follow suit. lmao
Lmao this needs to happen

Weston: I've put tracks on my raptor.
everyone: why?
Weston: why not?
Because tracks don’t like speed
I like His thinking!
Again, why?
@@bamahama707 why not? You got the money to do it, might as well do it.
Astronauts in space: I’ve seen it all
People in the US: once you’ve seen what Westen can do, then you’ve seen it all
Just saw an article on this rig on autoevolutuon
Westen, man you're channel gets better every day
the joy in this kids face is amazing !
“I’m the first person to drive a ford raptor with tracks...” ken blo- “down main street” ah. I’ll give you that
That is a epic upgrade. I been on since under 20k and love your realistic builds. And your camera personality is over the top. Keep up the incredible work
Those tracks look badass.....but l question the durability of them, they look a little flimsy...Keep Full coverage insurance on this rig for sure...
I looked at them as a skeptic. It depends on what their tension system is. Springs or grease/hydraulic?
They do look a bit on the low budget end

Just a good ole boy never doing no harm, just enjoying the farm
Congrats on getting over million subs. Every village needs a Westen.
I'm glad he reached his goal of a million subscribers before the end of the year.
Can't wait to see that thing in the snow 🤘
Youre videos and positivity is amazing
“We got 22 psi in the back left track we gotta check that out” 😂😂😂
I’ve been here since day 1 and enjoyed every minute of it.
*unpackages the tracks*
Westen: I wanna put these on my lawn mower
I remember seeing a couple of photos from your TikTok in Instagram with the tracks this is ridiculously amazing!!!!
*You know this cop was thinking...what can I write this guy up for?...he was having a HUGE brainfart!* 5:50
Congrats on 1 million! YOU DESERVE ITTTTT!
Sick, where’s the snow
Exactly the first thing I thought!
We don’t get much snow here lmao
In the sky lol
In all seriousness idk
@Brock Main3 same here we still don't have snow and I live in Minnesota.
@Brock Main3 I'm guessing it's global warming
“You know you’re awesome when the cops start filming you” 🤣
The cops filmed my house once and it wasn't cool
HEEEEYYYY!! GRATZ ON THE 1M SUBS WESTIN!!! been with ya since bob the skid steer and getting auction trucks cheap! You earned the 1m subs! Go for 2m!!
idk if this was just me but he said "like on an M1 Abrams battle tank!" then proceeds to show a Leclerc *a French tank*
Most awesome thing that UPS driver has ever delivered!!!!!!!
*lives in Kansas, "ohh hey cool a local TH-camr, maybe I could meet him.

For the love of god please. Take this to a Ford dealer to see their reactions and record it😂
Take it to the porche dealer.

Think they'd react a little more strongly towards the Smokestang. Lol
They would make him a offer no doubt.
No matter how bad a day your having , just watch a Westin video . Bad day turns awesome.

Way to go, don’t stop writing songs eh’!
Cheers from Canada ✌🏼
*gestures to giant tank tracks*
"I wanna put these on my lawnmower!"
God I love this channel
This is so freaking awesome. I would love to see a reaction from Ford. I bet some engineer was like yup that was the original design.
you’re beard and smile makes me happy regardless of the content, sound weird but it’s a contagious smile!
Just keeps getting better.....need to see that thing in some snow! 👍
I love it when he talks about the M1 Abrams and he shows footage of the French Leclerc
@3:11 "i am so hard right now!"
Westen - Circa 2020
Love how they keep saying Abrams when they are actually showing a Leclerc french MBT. Just uh putting that out there lol
I’ve never watched this guys videos but I started watching it and I love this guy he’s damn nice 🤣 unlike wistlin diesel
Whistlin diesel guy is a fanny. His mouth is too big
@@wildbill8517 WD is always saying about 'hey I got a million dollars and you don't have shit'. Guy have pretty big mouth. Westen on the other hand is cool dude .

Proud of you and a million Westin!

Looks like Weston had some performance issues at the end of the video 😂🤣
106 is not divisible by 4 😂 Stick to building crazy contraptions 🤘🏻😅🤘🏻

The ups man was so genuine!
This is the most quality content ive ever seen on the youtube
Am the only one who thought, "Alright, when's he going to throw a track?"
No i thought the same
I was thinking they would try to spin around and hit the body
with westen being westen I thought FOR SURE he was going to slip a tread drifting it
Westen 1 pressure washer zero. You always pull something out of your... um, shop and never disappoint.
Also a fellow Kansan. If ya ever get tired of the tracks let me know. I got a pasture truck for fence building they would work perfect on👍
I’m expecting a “we broke the raptor” video soon 😂
Yeah I'm wondering how hard those tracks are on the difs and stuff, compared to tires.. Especially at high speeds and on pavement..

And even to this day, Westen still has “500,000 subscribers”
Notice how Westin never wears a mask.... perks of living in rural Kansas 🤟
That’s awesome! My question now is...
Can it do a burnout on tracks?
he is like a kid opening a Christmas present
he is always excited about every that he does to his toys
I like how when Westen got tracks for his Ford Raptor and he uses them for off-road
