Just found this video you tube had unscribed me. So I've now subscribed again lots of vids to catch up on by the looks of it. Shame the new transit ain't a smiley!! Great video.
Only just got round to watching this but great video. Didn't bump into you at the show but had a great day. Hope you enjoyed it, some very nice gear around.
I love riding round lincolnshire with you, takes me back when i raced bikes at cadwell park in the 70's it was a long hard slog in a ford thames van from oswestry shropshire, around 4 hours, and a night on the beer in louth if it was a 2 day meeting , ive done a few track days there to a few years agp on my TZR3XVSP 250 and my R7OWO2,.750.used to deliver to grantham a bit to,.lovely county is lincolnshire, nice oldy worldy folk in some parts to,. cheers ,.
Buddy don't do it don't sell him . I got rid of ours when I got specky four eyes and how I regretted it . Just think asset . There all assets to the firm ,more assets more firms worth bigger the value . Keep Ronnie.. Em and I was due to go but inquest on this week so we can't . Hope it's a good one and you make many contacts and see many fans . Maybe see you at next one , all the best bud
Hi mate been watching your videos for awhile I am only based in Kings Lynn I have a fleet of transits including a :-) spec lift we should exchange numbers at some point👍👍
Can't break up the brothers until they had they time together at least imo, but Im not paying for them all 🤣 looks like you got a good man on the job 👍 be good to know the V8 will stay in it when giving it the beans 😂. Charlie done good. As for the seal, cheap, rude but does the job sounds like my add when I was self employed 🤣
Keep Ronnie and 1 of the spec lifts! Might as well have the flexibility.Only thing worth selling both for is a tilt and slide and i think you said in another vid theyre mad expensive 😮
Lovely little spec that mate but take it from me keep both your trucks. I ran just a 3.5 ton for years but was always struggling with axel weights and all that etc. So I've now got a 7.5tonner aswell and tbh running both trucks yeah it's Abit dear but seriously you don't hafe to turn away hardly any work with haveing both so my advise to you would be keep them both mate. Or sale your bigger truck and invest into a tilt and slide but still keep charlie. Cheers mate love the content keep up the good work and stay safe out there
Hi Ben Another great vid. Don't get rid of Ronnie. He's part of the family. English Charlie is doing an amazing job. I watched his vid and I was really impressed. Btw who cuts your hair? Really good cut 😂❤😮
That's a odd looking spec (suppose it saves on weight) buuut it might be worth investigating in side lockers and having it as a roadside assistance truck aswell, that way you could profit from roadside repair/ diagnostic and then offer recovery. (Kinda my dream set up instead of my stupid RDT)
Yeah I do have a lockbox to put on the back, hoping to get it sprayed this week. You're right though it saves on weight so keeps the back axle weight down. Does look a bit weird though 😂
I'm not dissing it all btw the specs we have are all over the top and way to big. At least with that you could fit into multistorey/ underground carparks and recover straight away. Getting a set of dolleys are a game changer aswell opens you up to EVs and 4x4s
Charlie doing well. As you using Charlie a lot then get the decent review place to replace the seal, it might be worth the extra cost for a decent service.
Regarding the ram seal replacement......does the rude man do good work? If he does, you only have to suffer him for a short time. Otherwise, if you don't pay for quality, you end up paying twice.
I don't understand why is the transit spec not got more boxes on the bed for and the dolly for picking up the rear end of the cars that's usually on spec frame recovery trucks
Hi there, really luv watching your videos can't wait to see the transit rr spec lift on the road I used to be a recovery operator for many years so I understand all you do keep on with the videos one question what breed are the sun glasses😢
Good idea mate, I gotta be honest I didn't buy them! They were bought for the channel by a subscriber. They're really good tho, I'll try and find the make and let you know
Ahh yeah totally I know mate, but my thought process was I could get a 6T spec and solely use that. But I've decided to just keep these 2 boys for now 👍
Ben Im not telling you how to suck eggs, I do a weekly recovery podcast... they are screaming at me. The straps i sent you are central wheel holders, you use the eye to on the to feed over the wheel & ratchet down to the side of the spec lift, not over the tyre. Just saying
Hi mate, yeah maybe I should have explained in one of my videos, its a bit of a calculated risk maybe, or maybe I've gone rogue. But its a concious decision as I've never liked the lateral force it applies and effectively pulls the wheel outwards when you use "Y" straps or use them in that way. Especially with the amount of vehicles I saw last week with sheared hub bolts. I might do a few experiments with them at the weekend and have a play about. I've always much preferred strapping down over the top of the wheel and just having a downward force onto the spec buckets. Like I said I'll look into it or maybe go back to the netting type over the wheels straps. Cheers as always Ian.
My experience is you get what you pay for. Cheap is not always the best way to go. Rude people normally get a slap from me so I try to keep away. Too long in the army to deal with plebs.
I have a 2005 transit mark 6 Crewcab with spec lift just like urs.. I have it remapped and it makes a big difference pal … great channel by the way … I have my channel on this aswel… look it up Redneck recovery… I have a few tilt and slides on it
Alrite mate hope all is well cant wait for some more v8 transit stuff looking good so far u cant sell any of ur trucks u will kick urself if u do and who in the right mind likes wireing ya sicko 😂1 of my hates
Why aren’t you wearing a high viz working by the roadside. Just got a blue t shirt on. ????? Come on think safe ?????? Be safe be seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always say quality pays , buy cheap pay twice. Glad to see Charlie working on the channel. I’ve got to say I’m not a fan of the wheel trims on Charlie’s back wheels. All good Ben 🫡👊ps tell wee Malcom I’m asking after him
Seriously Ben attitude is brilliant
Thanks pal. Hope you're well
Love the back Mag lights. They remote wireless of some type?
Yes mate, you put a dongle thing into the socket for the trailer and then they work wirelessly, great bit of kit 👍
What a great video, strange to be on someone else channel! Pleased though. I will do you proud.
Cheers pal 🤜🏼🤛🏽

There sure was some cool bits of kit there! I had a great day!
Definitely keep Ronnie, the day you sell will be the day you really need it...great video Ben
Cheers mate, glad you liked it 👍
Great video as always, glad the straps, lights & bits & bobs are helpful. Keep up the great content..
Cheers for your continued support mate, the bits are in use daily!

Love a good Cadwell track day, I'm there a few times a year on my bike
Always put the lights box on the drivers seat so you have to pick it up to drop the car because we have left them on the car.
Good idea that mate 👍

Thanks for your support 😊

Hi mate been watching your videos for awhile I am only based in Kings Lynn I have a fleet of transits including a :-) spec lift we should exchange numbers at some point👍👍
Yes mate deffo. I get a few calls from people over your way on the A17 usually. 👍

Ha ha class 😂
Keep Ronnie and 1 of the spec lifts! Might as well have the flexibility.Only thing worth selling both for is a tilt and slide and i think you said in another vid theyre mad expensive 😮
Yeah they're so expensive for a decent one. I'm not going to use the V8 for recovery, it's just going to be a pampered princess show vehicle I think
Lovely little spec that mate but take it from me keep both your trucks.

Cheers buddy, yeah you're right, I don't have any plans to sell any of them just yet 👍
Hi Ben
Another great vid. Don't get rid of Ronnie. He's part of the family.
English Charlie is doing an amazing job. I watched his vid and I was really impressed.
Btw who cuts your hair? Really good cut 😂❤😮
Ha ha my Barber is Steve, I'll pass on the compliment!
No don't sell Ronnie. He is part of the family. Another great video by the way.
Cheers mate, I don't think I could sell the big guy
Ul need him for carrying the bigger stuff.. things u wouldn’t get with the transit .. I’m building a 2021 Daf tilt and slide wit a spec
That's a odd looking spec (suppose it saves on weight) buuut it might be worth investigating in side lockers and having it as a roadside assistance truck aswell, that way you could profit from roadside repair/ diagnostic and then offer recovery. (Kinda my dream set up instead of my stupid RDT)

Yeah think I agree mate
Regarding the ram seal replacement......does the rude man do good work? If he does, you only have to suffer him for a short time. Otherwise, if you don't pay for quality, you end up paying twice.
Yeah I agree mate, he does do good work apparently
Keep both you dont now when you mite need it when it come down to recovery
Yeah totally mate, I plan to keep the pair of them, both handy trucks 👍
I don't understand why is the transit spec not got more boxes on the bed for and the dolly for picking up the rear end of the cars that's usually on spec frame recovery trucks
Well it has a box now. And a dolly set on order. It's an old spec mate, people sell bits off it individually. That's why 👍
Hi there, really luv watching your videos can't wait to see the transit rr spec lift on the road I used to be a recovery operator for many years so I understand all you do keep on with the videos one question what breed are the sun glasses😢
Hi mate, thanks for the feedback, they're called Boosted shades 😎. Only available from America unfortunately.
So you don’t forget your lights put the empty box beside you in the cab .
Can you put a link to the lights in the description please.
Good idea mate, I gotta be honest I didn't buy them! They were bought for the channel by a subscriber. They're really good tho, I'll try and find the make and let you know
Would you want a fully laden lwb sprinter hanging off the back of Charlie if you only had Charlie?
Ahh yeah totally I know mate, but my thought process was I could get a 6T spec and solely use that. But I've decided to just keep these 2 boys for now 👍
@@Fighting_Torque probably the same price as keeping both. Cheers
Bloody love the peasant comment 😂😂
Ha ha I've had a few people say that, didn't think much of it when I was editing but it's weird how sometimes little things like that tickle people 😂
Cash is king for me, I can take rude if it’s saving me ££’s. Just play along? - also keep Ronnie.
Yeah I think he's good at what he does, just doesn't know how to speak to people.
Hi wouldn't take the ram to either take mine to C G hydraulics newark mate
Great to have a recommendation mate, I'll call them today, thanks!

@@Fighting_Torque Fully agree, over the wheel into the spec bucket is best, 89% of recovery opps on Rumble agreed
fucking youtube notifications always making me late
It's weird, sometimes they just dint send them out, have no idea why. You're here now though pal!
My experience is you get what you pay for. Cheap is not always the best way to go. Rude people normally get a slap from me so I try to keep away. Too long in the army to deal with plebs.
Great advice there pal 👍
Regarding Ronnie, it's best to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it. Be safe mate.👍
Remap the transit pal …. Ur driving the best engine u can get in a transit… red di engine buddy … bullet proof they are
Yeah I think I will. Needs new oil first hopefully get chance this week
I have a 2005 transit mark 6 Crewcab with spec lift just like urs.. I have it remapped and it makes a big difference pal … great channel by the way … I have my channel on this aswel… look it up Redneck recovery… I have a few tilt and slides on it
Alrite mate hope all is well cant wait for some more v8 transit stuff looking good so far u cant sell any of ur trucks u will kick urself if u do and who in the right mind likes wireing ya sicko 😂1 of my hates
Ha ha I dunno I just like it when it's all neat and replaced. Good point, I think I would regret it
Why aren’t you wearing a high viz working by the roadside. Just got a blue t shirt on. ????? Come on think safe ?????? Be safe be seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fair one, it's always on when next to a main road but you are right. Cheers for the comment 👍

I'm not a fan either! I'm going to get the wheels polished up, cheers for commenting mate
