V8 TRANSIT UPDATE AFTER FIRST JOB WITH THE NEW SPEC! 

There sure was some cool bits of kit there! I had a great day!

Love a good Cadwell track day, I'm there a few times a year on my bike

Cheers pal, and welcome back!! Great to have you on board!

Cheers pal 🤜🏼🤛🏽

Thanks for your support 😊

@@SleafordRecovery currently watching the vlog where you talk about Gary at the truck stop laughing out loud , really funny story :)

@@Athomewithshelley 100% true too! Tell everyone you know to subscribe! Thanks again

@@SleafordRecovery I will. I have a channel too

Cheers for your continued support mate, the bits are in use daily!

Cheers mate, glad you liked it 👍

Yes mate deffo. I get a few calls from people over your way on the A17 usually. 👍

Ha ha class 😂

Cheers mate, shame you can't make it!

Yes mate, you put a dongle thing into the socket for the trailer and then they work wirelessly, great bit of kit 👍

Yeah totally mate, I plan to keep the pair of them, both handy trucks 👍

Ha ha my Barber is Steve, I'll pass on the compliment!

Good idea that mate 👍

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

Cheers buddy, yeah you're right, I don't have any plans to sell any of them just yet 👍

Yeah I think he's good at what he does, just doesn't know how to speak to people.

Hi mate, thanks for the feedback, they're called Boosted shades 😎. Only available from America unfortunately.

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

Yeah think I agree mate

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 😂

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 👍

Yeah I agree mate, he does do good work apparently

Great to have a recommendation mate, I'll call them today, thanks!

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

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 👍

@@SleafordRecovery probably the same price as keeping both. Cheers

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.

@@SleafordRecovery Fully agree, over the wheel into the spec bucket is best, 89% of recovery opps on Rumble agreed

It's weird, sometimes they just dint send them out, have no idea why. You're here now though pal!

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.👍

Ha ha I dunno I just like it when it's all neat and replaced. Good point, I think I would regret it

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

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
