Huge Thanks for the 17,000 SUBSCRIBERS so close to 18,000 !!!
STAY TUNED every FRIDAY at 18.00 for ANOTHER UPLOAD!
Thanks for watching.
MR GDB over and OUT!
First time I have seen your Friar tuck hairstyle from above, reminds me when I was in my 30's I got in a lift with mirrors all round and it was the first time I noticed the bald spot on top of my head. I was so annoyed with it when I got home I shaved it all off and have shaved my head for the last 30 years. Certainly saved me a lot in getting my hair cut at the barbers! Respect for wearing it mate.
😂😂😂the joys eh
Nice Merc, but side note, You're definitely punching with Tash! 😍😍😂😂😂
The merc is definitely the one to keep much more practical
Certainly has ADVANTAGES but also a much bigger unit to maul around..... mmmmmm! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
1:50 did you spot the eye roll. She looks really impressed dude 😆😆😆
She's a t**t TBH , Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
@gdbrescuerecovery 😆😆😆
I'd keep an eye on that fabricator of yours around your lady. A big smile came on her face when they were mentioned, lol.
I thought it was just me mate, genuinely feel like somethings up with her.
@@barrymawudenem4615 No not just you. Bad vibes.
Astounding "guess work" ! Looks like the beast was a good choice. How's about rigging a low, horizontal pulley bar a the rear of the bed to reverse the winch direction ? Winch the buggers off ! 17K+ to 44K in 6 (ish) months is "going some" Brilliant entertainment for us plebs! Great to see intelligent professionalism. Nice.
Keep the sla at a steep angle and uses slippys to get the back wheels to the road. Then use release the winch and use the sla bed to push the car off. Keep your slippys under just the front wheels. As soon as all four wheels hit the road pull the bed out from under the car. But well done for your first sla recovery. The trick with an sla is to use the bed as much as possible to scoop or drop.
Personally I’d have gone further up towards the "first" snatch before moving the winch, which may have been quicker, but the way you moved the back end round was great.
Lovely long video which was very interesting Greg. Like how you pulled the car off at the end 👍🏽. The Merc seems a good truck will be good to see how it performs and what upgrades you do to it. 👍🏽😎
Glad you enjoyed! , Use the kit you have available eh! Was not looking forward to getting it off though! Video makes it look easy! , YES will be interesting to see what happens! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
@@GDBRescueandrecovery keep up the videos pal for me and my dad called Brian Mr gdb recovery
"In a minute, we'll have to get some keys" he says, and goes to get a mallet. Was I the only one thinking "are you really gonna do that!?" 😲
Looks spot on once you get the bed sorted, should make a bit of £ either as part of the fleet or to fix up and sell.
Personally id be keeping it for a bit to see how it works out, the spec and crewcab makes it a very versatile vehicle.
Already priced up some new steel decking not too bad really just time! , BUT yes is on a list to be done very soon regardless if sell or keep. Going to make another video Mercedes vs daf I think! , Thanks for the comment! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Carlisle isn't in Scotland 😂It's close and we do have a very northern accent (seller had a broad local accent), but it's not in Scotland
Mercedes are very solid trucks. I can speak from experience. Drove one with almost 1 million kilometers at the odometer. Sold in 2022 and starts a second life in Africa.
oooo very interesting meant to be good trucks really lets see what happens! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
I live near Jacksons and can confirm they are a decent family firm which has been there as long as I've known in my 50 years. I was amused at the southerner Greg mentioning Scotland 🤣
Was that Walton, who used to have a high voice, I think he also drove my school bus, are they based near mealsgate?
@@EverydayLife621 Not sure if it was squeaky. Yes nr Mealsgate.
Yes seem decent no complaints really! HAHA yes way out of town for me!!!! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Tash has her priorities right keeping the doughnuts close by in case of emergency, I’d do the same 😂
Haha! First thoughts always snacks!🤣x
@@Tashajaideexo it’s gotta be done 🤣x
Something like that 🤣Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
That lorry is proper think you will be silly to get rid that made that job easy
LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Carry fairy liquid and put don't bed flat to unload shake bed then when push the back wheels with sla so much easier mate
saves your back, let gravity help :p
Only problem with fairy liquid would go straight through the holes on this bed 🤣 , yes ive heard about the shake technique before, something I will learn over time no doubt, should be getting sent some dolly's soon so will be much easier again! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Keep them both! By the way, Natasha's a good camera girl!'
She's getting there! , I wish I could but space is a killer with all my other vehicles!
Tash is looking amazing better body work than the Merc 😂 lol .but nice video always entertaining the pair of you and ye nice truck 🚚
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
@gdbrescuerecovery well done to the winner very nice prize look forward to another raffle liked what I'd seen 😀
The merc don't look to bad Greg. That's one you got to keep. It will look good with all the livery on 👍. Nice spacious cab...and the size of the body 😮. You will get it to the standard you want...and more money to spend for equipment to go in truck.
Just the height of the bloody bed that is my biggest negative as I get so many luton vans so means back to measuring sticks every job lol. Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Just wondering How could you have followed behind the old bill if it’s not your shout to attend??
Nice information to know when I’m doing breakdowns and recoveries
Nice motor ya picked up there once ya repaired the bed 👌🏼👍🏼
Yup ide like that answered too
Not bad for the trucks first recovery .
Good honest work is a reward in itself well done ✅👍
she’s earning her keep already 😂
Oh yeah no time for messing about! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
I live 20mins from jackson recovery and about 5yrs ago I broke down in a iveco luton and Its was jackson that recovered me to the garage and I'm sure it was that truck they came in aswell
Oh sweet yes good chance it could have been! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
with skids you could off just push on the back of the car instead of the cable ripping the under carriage off the motor
Love the new truck! This is one to keep. Few repairs, lick of paint and an upgraded light package and she’s perfect
SOME TLC REQUIRED ... let see what happens... Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
I do have to admit i love the Leyland daf however I do feel that if he gets this merc repaired restored and marked up it would be a great work horse for him for things the daf can't do
I love the LEYLAND too! Hard upcoming decisions really! Mercedes certainly has better earning potentials with spec lift , tow bar, and extra seats! BUT so much more of a ball ache to drive in small places and lanes! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
found this channel at 8am its 1pm now still watching my dog not impressed ,its new years eve .
Now we’re talking, what a monster 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
canny job with the jag, not bad for a young'un, a bottle of fairy liquid is a good tool for those jobs. i hear the daf is in the corner crying...
don't forget a brush + bucket for that loadbed dandruff when she is loaded...
yes, there were a few nice angles during that vid... keep it up young man
Wahey thanks so much, yes daf is a bit upset at moment but it is what it is! , stay tuned lots more coming soon ! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Idle up by pulling right hand exhaust brake stalk towards you, idle it to 1200rpm once PTO in and the pump will love you forever, bed will be faster aswell
Hi thanks for comment and yes can be increased appreciate the comment though! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Never knew front wheels can lock on the turn, could you have jacked up front and manually straighten wheels.
Tidy truck good video.
They were locked up already unfortunately! Else i would of straightened them up!!Thanks for watching GDB!
Park something behind. Connect jag to it and drive truck away from under it. Say redbackwards. LoL
Yes l think he should do like l am from North East England 🇬🇧 UK
Great angle 🤣🤣 you won't want to go back after that dave bland body don't keep calling it an Sla roger will get upset 😂
Oops what do they call it ? lay flat deck or something?! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
You don't need the body all the way off on a sla so you could have done what you would do with a normal tilt and slide mate
Jesus, I know coke addicts that talk less than you! Great vid as usual.
Thanks for watching!
You never WON anything, you just agreed to pay the most money 😂
Never leave home without some kit, my car boot has heavy duty jump leads, trolley Jack, wood, tool bag, rad weld water, engine oil, spare wheel, no room for anything else....... maybe I need a van 😂, always remember that you never knowwhat you come across when out and about
Wahey I like it!!! We debated going in R8 but said to Tash if something happens there's sweet fa we can try and do! , Got to be prepared as best as you can ehh! Yes van prob not a bad shout haha, Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Brilliant truck definitely a keeper and look at that angle (sorry tash 😂)
Yes I think so too! haha love the ANGLE! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Excellent “real world” video 😎
Always stay tuned for more real world action!
My first viewing of your channel Greg, enjoyed it
Thanks so much 🔥
Some new check plate down on the bed she will sound as a £ , I take it you never got to keep the TOW registration , new to the channel first one I watched was the one with the 🛎️ end who tried to cancel on you changing the tyre , you were so fair with him , hope it cost him a fortune to get it sorted plonker , keep up the good content it’s. 👍🏻from me
15:49 where did you get your car customised like that? Not so much interested in just the decals but moreover the add ons like the snorkel, roof rack, lights etc...
That Merc should have cruise control....if it has put the p.t.o. in and build the revs up by pulling the right lever towards you
Yes it does have cruise control and yes revs can be increased to speed up the bed too! , Thanks for the comment though! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
How about you respect and acknowledge your friend in the passenger seat, thats of course you do respect her !!!
Further the bed is out more risk of twisting when snatching
Well done greg on aa they had a rear roller on back of bed to reverse winch makes life alot easier good truck
YEs ive seen them before makes life alot easier! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Just out of interest when did Carlisle move to Scotland. 😂
Just feels like Scotland way out of town for me! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB

That was yesterday just before jct 35, I was northbound stuck behind the rubberneckers
Yes Sunday we got it! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
should see the speed of some of the wagons on that hill in the dead of night, will make you need a strong drink if they are coming towards you
Oh yeah I bet! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
I used a truck a little worse than this before the company upgraded me. But I never drug an all wheel drive car like that
Just chuck the slippys underneath jobs a good un, Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Plan B, tie a strap between the Jag and that van behind and drive off 😇
Certainly was an option if needs must!! 🤣 Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
keep up the videos pal for me and my dad called Brian Mr gdb recovery
That looks like a Dave bland bed on that. Same bed that's on my lorry there good body's but they do like to rot lol but nothing a new bit of steel can't sort. Nice lorry tho well done mate 👍
Yes it is a Dave Bland job! , YES rot is a killer but the structure is sweet! , NEW steel will be getting ordered soon! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
@@GDBRescueandrecovery yep with mine structure is sound I just had to put Abit of steel on mine too.
Great addition to the fleet
Thanks so much Danny! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB

What’s a firteen and half toner ? Did you mean thirteen ?
The building of that company looks like a fire department
With th3 red doors
Could well of been back in the day! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
ditch the daf keep the merc better low bed pick up
Let's see what happens! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
16:57 the DAF will be gone 😆😆😆
You reckon?! 🤣
@@GDBRescueandrecovery 🤣🤣🤣
I really think you’ll do well by keeping this truck! It has so much potential especially with the angle and the sliding winch.
I loved how you shifted the back end over when loading the Jag.
How did you get it to slide off when offloading? I didn’t quite understand what you set up to pull it off.
I think he unstrapped it and then winched it put those things under the tires to make it slide and slowly let gravity do its job by putting slack on the winch
*wheel stakes*
He didn’t have wheel skates.
Wouldn't want to to come and rescue me ,if you think Carlisle is in Scotland?
I hope you forgive my question. Have you since changed the license plate because the reg JR55TOW is coming up no tax details, M.O.T Expired Nov 08 and uninsured
Jacksons is local to me and if its like the rest of there trucks it will have been looked after
Yes certainly seems looked after very impressed to buy a recovery truck and it be clean inside though makes it so much more pleasurable to drive home! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
That looks nice mate and I good job done 👍
She is OK let's see what happens! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Guessing that’s a David bland bed set up?
Yes you got it!
have you got the fridge in the centre of your landmark Greg, easy to fit if you haven't and really come in handy
Yes think it's more of a cooling box rather than a fridge! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
@@GDBRescueandrecovery I had one in my d4 when I had it, leave it permanently switched on only runs when car running so will definitely get quite cold perfect for 4 bottles of coke lol...
is it safe to put the ramp down only as far as needed to save space and time? or is there some HSE or mechanical reason?
Nice long one nice to see misses out with you nice truck but daf must be cheaper to run and do what the Merc does
In all fairness ive not actually checked the MPG I can't see it being a million miles apart both 6 litre engines merc has 6 speed, leyland has 5 speed, sooooooo dont think it will be to much difference and merc bonus of 3 tanks!
@@GDBRescueandrecovery but daff gets in places better but ok thanks for reply mare
Looks a decent lorry mate 👌
Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Since April 2022 ..its illegal for a Passenger to film a driver , classed as Distraction both Driver and Passenger there's a £200 fine Each + Points on both Licence's if Passenger has one.
Looks like you Have put Cpl Extras on Natasha too 😂
Oh really shame we were in Mexico! 🤣
@@GDBRescueandrecovery makes no Odds where u was, should keep up with what affects you
Is that your daughter sat next to you in the land rover?
blur out the licence plates ..... incase of cloners
Thought I was the disco the other day going last me on the
But I thought it had broken down in from Cumbria my self that's when I saw it to last heading back to Carlisle
Wahey thanks for the spot! NOPE just another truck purchase! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Greg why dint you winch the car on from the rest end it would of been slot easier if your daughter had come with you in the four wheel drive to tow the car from the front end
Would of done but too orqard reversing back into the main road with nobody to watch me back, Could of towed it with land rover to get it off, but Im the recovery operative one man band and can't rely on help, so would rather struggle on my own and get the job done single crewed! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
can anyone go to the tow show Telford I WOULD LOVE TO GO
Yes! Open to members of the public! 😃
Just got daff sprayed and repaired now got merc for to low riders
ITS ALL SYSTEMS GOO! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
Lovely looking motor. You will love the merc. To get that jag off wouldn’t it of been easier to get tash to follow you and pull it off with the landy. Edit. Spoke to soon. Niceone. Btw wheat happened to the bike trailer and dolt you was collecting at same time
Thanks so much, yes it would have been easier for her to pull it off, BUT in recovery I gotta deal with these things on my own as a one man band with no help! BUT I already had her on back up if it was too much faffing about etc. YEs bike trailer got delayed so going to meet up with the man another time! One of them can't win them all! Thanks for watching! Stay TUNED Tonight at 18.00 hours for ANOTHER VEHICLE REVEAL! GDB
@@GDBRescueandrecovery your master plan worked a million times better than. Bringing tash back out. As you say when your on your own. You can only work with what you have got at that very time.
I'm 99% sure I drove past your truck and Land Rover on the m6 a week or two ago lol
Yes that probably was me!
@@GDBRescueandrecovery yep I think it was, main reason I remember is because I thought it was funny to see a recovery land rover on a recovery truck xD what are the chances that I see you on this specific day then UA-cam recommends me the video sometime later on 🤣
subbed now btw :P
Can’t beat a merc. And the sla beds are good bits of kit. 👍 I got 4 brand new slippys you can have for free mate just let me know 👍
YO YOO , Yes it is growing on me! Yes SLA certainly makes the jobs alot easier and no worrying with timbers! , AH sweet that would be ever so kind for some extra slippy if you wouldn't mind!
@@GDBRescueandrecovery I will sort a day out to drop them off 👍

@@GDBRescueandrecovery hi thanks for that but the link you sent me was completely useless you just got couple of guys to push the vehicle off not the way you done it with the jag as you got it going backwards with the winch
Have you got a new mrs as well, swear she was ginger before ?
