Upgrading a British Warrior with a TURRET

[@MrHewes]

Might be an unpopular opinion but I feel the warrior is the best track vehicle to drive

[@goggledoggo5236]

no doubt, lighter vehicle combined with a more modern control/transmission system makes all the difference.

[@parshakamarsh]

I'll take your word for it, you know more about tracked vehicles than I ever will 😂

[@kippamip]

Spartan and scimitar are a very close second Joe. But yeah warrior is the dog's conkers. Chally 2 is better cross country but too slow!

[@Bearded-Baldy85]

My personal favourite!

[@LeeviHokka126]

4:35 Stowage box cover painted with "NO STEP"; promptly steps on it! 😂

[@berryreading4809]

They always put "NO STEP" on the obviously best places to step or stand... I'm pretty sure it's just an ongoing inside joke amongst engineers at this point... 🤨 😂👍

[@aserta]

It's not like "no step" on a plane, where stepping on that area might put you through a hole. It's more like... "please don't step cause you might bend this and fall and break your neck".

[@quietbrianquiet]

I am pretty sure it said "Joe Step"

[@andybond4458]

Its amazing how many tools double up with secondary uses. For example the Scania accelerator pedal depress device doubles up as a piece of wood , and the warrior keep door open hand free mechanism doubles up as a shovel. Remarkable really.

So good to see your building sheds to keep all the tanks in mr hewes No point in doing all that work and then leaving them out in that lovely English weather 👍👍🇦🇺

[@gregculverwell]

I really wouldn't do that to a Defender - the half shafts in the back axle usually break after about the 20th hop. I have a fair bit of involuntary experience with that.

That forklift was doing a mighty good impression of a Foden.

No we want the P4108. Great! three bearing crank, broken cranks, throwing con rods which ruined the block,Camshaft and anything else that got in the way. Overheating! Absolutely not a suitable engine for that confined space. But the MOD knew better than Perkins themselves.

[@ZeroKey92]

The whole time I was thinking "Wouldn't've this whole ordeal been a lot easier with the Foden?"

[@kippamip]

Got to love the warrior. The best armoured vehicle the British army ever procured. Unfortunately you don't have the British army variant, but the Kuwait version (Desert warrior) and you also have the wrong turret for that variant. But it's still an absolute beast.

[@tomkelly6216]

Another great video. Green turret on the tan track. And my favorite bit was because last episode, when you brought the T-34 home and someone was like "they painted the road wheels!" Check out this tan track again.... Don't get me wrong, I did a lot of things that was not ideal to make my equipment look good. I just didn't give anyone guff about it. Armor Alling your rubber wheels? Not go for them, but damn, it looks great.

[@kohlerk30]

What ive learned about England from these videos is its always raining, cold and horrible.

[@ForeverNeverwhere1]

It started out sunny and warm, then pissed down, then was sunny and nice again, that is British weather often extremely pleasant, but rarely for very long. Why we are obsessed with talking about it, it keeps us on our toes.

[@philleeson7835]

If you don't like the weather in England,just wait a minute and it will change.

It might rain a bit and it’s often cold, but thank fk, it could be worse! At least we don’t live in America!! Poor fools have my genuine pity.

[@peteredwards2318]

And that is a misconception. The freaky thing about England, in fact all of the mainland United Kingdom, is that it can go from baking sunshine, to cold and raining, and back again in mere moments, and does. We've had highs of 39°c in summer, and lowest I've felt was -17°c if you account for windchill in winter. It's a freaky place.

[@alainfitton.9523]

For the hand throttle in the Scania, don't use the piece of wood. Use cruise control on the left stick and it'll up your revs and hold them until a pedal is pressed. They then drop to standard tickover.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Ukrainian farmers showed that tractors are great at hauling away Russian tanks. PS - Wonder if kinetic ropes would do better then straps?

[@aserta]

The tracks are stuck, so it wouldn't help as much as it would and would probably damage the ropes. They're good for "mostly stuck" things. Source: i snapped one trying to pull a combine from a cave's opening. There's a sizable dent in my brother's fendt tri6 arse. edit: there used to be a "kinetic" wire back in the day. Huge coil spring hooked with two ends of cable through it, one one side going through, one on the other, doing the opposite. Those might work. Not as common as they used to be anymore and making one yourself is ... tricky.

[@devonventer3256]

You really believe western media don't you 😂

[@yixuan7043]

with russian rusted track links takes more to free up so drag a mile with the fodan before using it's own engine and gearbox.
