The grill vents are active for heating, cooling, and mpg. People that know will trip when they see the 2nd gen front end with that 6.2L badge. Clean that filter, paint it grey
1:50 To answer Chris, yes, someone already did it and they sell a kit for it with custom made fenders to fit better, the company that does it is called Fiberwerx, but it's expensive, i kinda like more the DIY version of B is for Build! 😂
After watching this video, you guy inspired me to throw my oil pan and a few other car parts in my oven. My wife just loved it. She cried with joy. Keep show other ideas for the washing machine....
Chris, long time fan here, I know it's a lot of work but i'd love to see that truck painted grey! I'd happily let it run over a few extra episodes to get it done.
1) Repaint the truck, the gray is awesome! 2) Replace and probably relocate the airfilter, it's filthy and with the new hood it could probably do with a relocation. 3) Fully service the truck, new filters ect. Thanks for a great show guys!
I love how you guys approach these things, its like the best form of engineering, start working and solve the most prominent problems and resolve everything else around it. I love it as a software engineer I can really appreciate your problem solving skills as much as any of the fabrication skills. Y'all are great!!
Great work guys! I like the change if pace when you do the boat stuff, but god i love it when you guys get back to this kinda stuff. This is my favourite channel without doubt. 😀😄😜Peace👍🏻
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but the "lies" and "not true" spam on the screen is exactly why I watch this channel. Thank you for having my humor I love you
"I can't have any risk of unreliability on this thing" I think that ship sailed when you bought a Ford Raptor to use as a work truck. ;) Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Raptors and it is what brought me to your channel, but one thing a Raptor will never be is a reliable workhorse. ;)
Chris reply to me on Instagram when I asked the same question about the single seater because the boats out of the water is extremely expensive to keep the boat out of the water so they’re jumping on getting the boat sorted and then back on with a single seater hope this helps :-) we have some car builds on our channel if you want to check that out
If I had to hack those pieces to shreds I wouldn’t put them on your truck!! When you drive down the street everything going to move around. You are lucky to have such a good friend Oscar to help you. Dam he does good work!
Oscar is a beast, I would love to see Chris do something major. Im sure he probably already does behind the scenes but im sure all the fans would like to see something cool. Something that isn't a project for him to do.
Oscar has great skills It's amazing to watch his thought process. Did he come from a family of fabricators? Its clear that he sees the end result when he starts.
This is on my to do list. I want to update the front end of my Excursion to a 2018 style front end. Right after I finish the Cummins swap! Great Vid!!!
@@AMLagonda for the same reason when a car is done getting painted and they let it bake in the oven or sun they don’t use a house oven.thought booth not a oven cooker.
This Raptor is going to be sick! I am super excited for it to be completed. It’s my second favorite build, my first favorite is the Burntacan! That lambo is sexy AF, I am just in love with how it looks.
I absolutely recommend upgrading to the Morimoto XB headlights if you can make the wiring work. I installed them in my 2018 F150 and simultaneously got more than double the light output and half the amount of people flashing me because the beam pattern is waaayyy better. I work nights and now I can actually see where I'm going.
Thinking aloud- when making your own pigtail, instead of epoxying a "permanent" plug, could you 3D print a plug, wrap it in a gasket material so it's removable like an OEM pigtail? Dunno - just problem solving someone else's projects...lol
The worlds most complicated headlight system, made even more complicated by B is for Build. Seriously the 2017 OEM headlight and grille assembly is so complicated (you basically have to disassemble half the grille to change a bulb) I’m impressed you managed to make it all work.
Love the Chanel an all the content, lol but we all know when he says “did some quick measurements an it looks like it will fit” that it’s not. Hey but love your Chanel an everything you do
I would absolutely love to spend time and work and learn from Oscar and gain some skill and knowledge from him as much as possible. Great work B is for build team!
Man I work at a Ford dealer and I would definitely send you some oem pigtails so you don’t have to epoxy bare pins to your quite expensive headlight lol
that gray would look so good as the new color 👀
And would actually be cheaper than blue paint 👀
YES, this 👆
Lead Foot. I have an 18 Raptor, same color
Yes gray would be a much better colour 👍 come Chris do it 😬
You beat me to it, definitely a more modern colour, why face lift it but not face lift the colour 👍🏻
Oscar is such an amazing fabricator, he makes it seem like anything can be build by hand.
That's one nasty air filter under the hood. You should replace that to help the supercharger.
Came here to post this
Yes, please! for the love of all that is breathing, replacing that nasty-ass air filter!
next on the list should be a cement driveway to the shop and a car port. why work on dirt and leafs.
I think they should make the whole truck that grey colour it’s really nice
YESSSSSS, with the blue racing stripes
*he
Lead foot grey right?
@@Captaindan7141 Correct sir, it's definitely pretty in person.
I agree
The grill vents are active for heating, cooling, and mpg. People that know will trip when they see the 2nd gen front end with that 6.2L badge. Clean that filter, paint it grey
More than the badge. The exterior door handles are very different on gen 2
Yep a satin grey
“What’s it like being a car guy?”
“Well my headlight didn’t work well so I replaced the whole front end of my truck with a newer front end” 😂❤️
And the headlights still not working😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When something breaks we just see it as a chance to upgrade!
I love the gray! Repaint the rest of the truck
I agree.. paint the truck gray!
RAPTOR it gray!

lots of people do it, for rangers too.
Who needs a kit when you got an Oscar.
Makes an ugly truck more ugly
May as well just buy a similar mile gen 2 raptor.
DYI....Do Yourself It......mkay
When are we getting the "Oscar did a great job" shirt
You win the internet today... Here is your trophy... an Oscar!
There's an MVP Oscar shirt
I’d buy that
Ill order the one that says. Im fucked without oscar. Hhaa

Maybe buy a pin extractor kit so you can use the original connectors and re-pin them
He doesn’t have the original male connector
Jesus Christ man...B is for buy a new air filter lol or at least clean it..
Should paint the back to match the front dude
They probably already got blue paint
Should paint the front to match the back dude
I’d love to see another color entirely, something more custom
@@chrisdionne11 Yea Pink lol
@@Oscar_SMT ok lets settle on all 1 color perriwinkle
Have you thought about painting the truck the same color as the front end ? It will give it nice fresh and more modern look.
1) Repaint the truck, the gray is awesome! 2) Replace and probably relocate the airfilter, it's filthy and with the new hood it could probably do with a relocation. 3) Fully service the truck, new filters ect.

That grey looks so good!
The things Oscar can do with just some sheet metal it’s honestly mesmerizing an he is so consistent in every video with his metal work
Great work guys!

That grey looks so nice. Gives the truck a sleek look.
On lord, clean that k&n filter lol
This is the type of content I love on this channel. Attainable vehicles with cool documentation on how the mods and fixes are done.
Paint the rest of it grey like the front
I agree the gray is a super cool color, if anyone knows the paint code for the gray that would be great.
I believe thats battleship gray
I was about to say the same thing. That grey is awesome
we've got enough grayscale cars on the road already
Mannuel Baidya i think thats a "lead foot grey"
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but the "lies" and "not true" spam on the screen is exactly why I watch this channel. Thank you for having my humor I love you
Paint the rest of the truck the same dope grey color! 👍🏻

and it has roush SC to boot!
Please tell me you are painting the rest of the truck "Lead Foot"
Oscar is a master craftsmen! What skills! He makes it look easy, but it’s got to be incredibly complex.
Is it driving anybody else crazy that Chris didn't wash that exposed front end before the install?!
Paint the truck to match the new parts. Love the cement grey color.
Chris paint the entire truck grey!!! will totally look like a new ride!!!
paint it all gray
this truck is everything that the 2017 raptor should’ve been
Should have been v8 and supercharger
V6 just sounds as vacuum cleaner
@@manganvbg90 I actually quite like the sound of the V6. As long as it has the right exhaust & turbo setup.
@@shona5512 all to their own. But ofc a tt v6 is better than an electric raptor 😂
Props to you for actually doing it right and making it look good. Most conversions look like earl next door did it.
“ Don’t, don’t look at the junk pile!! It’s for a “Special” project “ .....😎
Maybe a junk race car 🤔
Great Job can’t wait for the paint, a lot of people are going to be confused after seeing it, but that’s B is for build. Great Video ✌🏽
“Don’t look at this junk pile” why? Because you just casually have a Murcielago wheel chilling in that “pile of junk”? Haha
Love how you guys jump into anything and make it work. Raptor looks great👍👍
That air filter though!
I love the fact that you and the team will attack these projects. Truly raises our confidence level
What about the single seater 😐
i think he said he was sidelining it a few videos back because sema was cancelled.
@@SirSmilie oh that makes sense. Still, just for the channel, it would be entertaining at least imho
Why would he stop building it though? I was looking forward to that build.

Paint the whole truck gray!! Give it full love!
Came for the boat... stayed for the cars. 🤘🏻
What a project! My hat's off to the owner/builder.
air cleaner needed to be cleaned or replaced.Not doing so puts more strain on bearings and bushings.
Top 2 fav channel.
Watching you get more and more comfortable in front of the camera has been awesome. It’s nice to see a ‘real’ youtuber 😀

Thanks for the upload man i needed the serotonin and distraction 🙏
Waited midnight for this episode. Lol addictive content 🥳
Even me bro
The electrical work on this episode makes everyone cry. Yes, even babies.
Ive been waiting for this, for so long. I remember the episode where you talked about facelifting the truck after buying 2.gen style lights
Oscar is a beast, I would love to see Chris do something major. Im sure he probably already does behind the scenes but im sure all the fans would like to see something cool. Something that isn't a project for him to do.
Chris: "I want safe and reliable vehicle"
Also Chris: *cuts half of the hood structure*
I like that you always make things work even if you have to go the extra 10 yards

It's amazing to watch his thought process.
Did he come from a family of fabricators?
Its clear that he sees the end result when he starts.
Thanks. My dad was a machinist for over 20 years, Iv been a fabricator/ iron worker for over 12.

Every time you start something like this, I have my doubts it's going to work, and I'm so happy to be proven wrong again. Looks great!
God that sentence “so we will solve that solution” was brilliant
Love this channel I was a body man for macco paint and body shop and had to fabricate every thing
Couldn't you have 3d printed the conectors for the headlights?
The files are not open source. This would take a lot of guess and check to make it work. It’s not worth it.
B IS DOING IT!!! I’ve been looking forward to this video since you said, “maybe we’ll facelift it...”
Thinking aloud- when making your own pigtail, instead of epoxying a "permanent" plug, could you 3D print a plug, wrap it in a gasket material so it's removable like an OEM pigtail? Dunno - just problem solving someone else's projects...lol
Great upgrade Chris, Oscar is everywhere even modeling, great to see more of Kyle on the team!
Ya! Change Your Air Filter!!!!
You guys are True Masters of body work.
I’ve just been waiting for rebuilding my import Supra
I think its stored somewhere due to covid but once he gets it the build should start pretty soon after I think dont quote me

Go with the Grey!
I like the way he said the supercharger is made by a company called Eaton as if they are some obscure brand
E is for early
I am so happy I found this channel.. you guys are awesome
what's the potential for doing a rear end conversion as well? (bed, tailgate, bumper, lights, etc.)
I think it'd be easier just to take a 2nd gen Raptor and engine swap it😂
@@ramses_jose6303 indeed
@@ramses_jose6303 Or just buy a 5.0 truck and throw a blower and body panels on it lol
@@ramses_jose6303 swap it with a LS and make a real truck out of it

All the colours are awesome, the gen 1 body is way cooler than the second body style. Good luck,, have fun Offroad
Repaint the blue to the grey colour?
Yes i was thinking the primer gray looks great on it.
I used to work for an aerospace company and we used the same trick on some bearings. We would dip them in liquid nitrogen, then tap them into place
It looks pretty slick man always loved clean facelifts
Also im wondering what they'll do if the engine gives out keep it or nah?
love it! coudv atleast let us hear the charger sound after the rebuild 😅
I was debating or thinking if I could do this to my first GEN Toyota tundra
Nothing will make that truck look better tho :(
@@Manuel-xy7un facts
to a 3rd GEN 2014+?
or 2007-13 2 gen?
I've seen plenty of 2nd to 3rd gen conversions
New BMW M4 too xD
A Raptor front end on a Tundra would probably look a little off :p
You should think about marketing a set of brackets for this conversion. Great video.
Make the whole truck Nardo Grey
Looks great I'm glad the parts worked out for you
i dont think that was paint, looked like a mosquito from where im sitting.
