As a fellow Bengineer, I would really recommend binning that thrustmaster steering wheel, it simply wont last. Reach out to Fanatec and ask if they can subsidize/sponsor you to do this as their hardware will be far more upto the task.
@@CatSovietski He wants to keep the cab true to its original form, What he needs is a proper Wheelbase! Moza's or Fanatec either one will do with direct drive and a proper gearbox
@@Sithhy Half a dozen, one or the other. Doesnt matter what brand it is aslong as it aint cheap 💩 that resembles the same plastic they put in buscuit packs.
Come on Tim, Buy Helen a Scania horse box which can be the mobile merch store at events. can do a build series on it and everything. get the back all wired up and plumbed so you can have hot drinks and lighting too in the back.
I think it'd be even better if he gets her a trailer for the Volvo where the entire trailer is a mobile merch store. The amount of merch they can fit back there is uncanny.
I would consider putting a door in the back of the cab. I have a feeling shutting the cab doors with tvs mounted on them will eventually knacker the electronics. They’re not designed to have shock put through them
OMG Cant wait to see Trucker Sim fully functional and in operation, id love to try it out Tim. Helen does deserve her own Project after seeing all yours and I think Horse Cart Merc sounds fantastic.
Tim, I passed you early Yesterday morning coming down the M74 between Junc 12-13 around 06.30 am in the opposite direction to you as you were heading South, Your Scania Truck looking rather Nice with the new Red Lo-Loader trailer, Keep up the good Work.👍
Honestly... Id LOVE to have a go on it when its done.. i have seen several videos on full cab simulators and ever since i have been telling myself "Man id love to have a run in a full cab sim"..
Wow more excited for this truck sim more than the 4 series build, wish companies built them to buy aha, Ben was such a good addition to trucker Tim hq getting things done so fast, didn’t realise you was starting this truck sim this soon
for wheel and pedals should look at moza the direct drive wheelbasses start at like £295 and there wheels are detachable through a quick release system also there pedals come away from the footplate a lot easier, also be better to have tvs inside as if you take it to shows etc youlll have to be weary of the weather if the on the outside also with the tvs inside the cab it be a lot easier and neater to cable mange/hide cables
Can't wait for Sandys truck sim video coming out! Ooosshd! lol Helen could get a towable welfare unit to turn into a merch store. Would already be fitted with power, lights, heat and insulated. Would just need fitting out.
Hey Helen, have a word with Nipper, upgrade horsebox to full size living trailer with merch store in 1 half of it 😉 sure Tim won't mind towing it everywhere
The wrap has to be the same as the R series surly! But Trucker Sim is bloody brilliant! I like the idea of the heater vents blowing air but why over complicate it, can't you just remount the original blower motor? Take on Helen's idea of a trailer but could you mount a box/body on a trailer and put the SIM in front to make it look like the SIM cab is the unit pulling the merch store? Oh and everyone needs a Ben! bengineer! Fabulous
Should have gone for a LHD Tim for the Continent. When you get up and running in ETS, install ProMods Europe map, much more detail and lots more cities!
For airvent, get an enterprise server fan instead. High CFM, audible.. and made to work with pc's... Ish. Do look if the board can provide enough amps...
Dare I ask ------- who is leading who in this project, I get worried expecting Tim to break something that Ben has spent the day putting together. The best part about Tim is his abundant enthusiasm, it is a fantastic combination, especially when Helen makes a simple, and very valid, request.
As a Euro Truck fanatic, I am so interested in this project and what the total budget will come up to. When it is finished I am sure lots of people will actually pay to drive it
What a great idea love it , great work Ben , very clever man , you did well Tim bringing Ben on board , so much getting done 😊, the horse box shop a great idea too 😊
Watching you put them cabs in the unit all I can think of is that old Milky Way advert. The red car and the blue car had a race…. All red car could do was stuff his faaaaaace!
Poor old Ben. I can sense and argument😂. Nice progress on the sim project Tim. By the way can you let us know what truckfests your attending this year? 👍❤️😉😁
See even Ben thinks your a headache that don’t go away 😂 that’s what in the last video he needs to fabricate a cot or cage to lock you in when you start being trouble 😂😂😂
hey tim its me i thought you wasent going to post anything cause i didint see you was online posting youtube content but again an aswsome video tim and iam glad the boat trip went ok with the 2 jetskies and a yacht iam gla it worked out and aim glad you had fun
I actually think the horse box is a really good idea, at truck shows you've got the V8 all branded up, you get the mobile shop next to it, all attracts eyes and attention, makes the brand look more serious.
it’s coming along tim 💪 you should definitely try and wire up the key to turn on the pc, wire the indicator stalk for the game indicator and the lights for lights, keen to see it happen
FYI pc run on 12v which most interior lights and fans also run on 12v. So if you get a good pc / power supply and a good pc builder they might very well be able to wire up most of the interior to come on with the pc.
Fully agree with Helen that Ben defo needs a raise for all the decent work hes been doing to get your crazy projects moving forward! makes a change things happening instead of just you keep talking about what you want to be done hes now GETTING things done 😂 so lets say a 25% pay rise for Ben should do for starters agreed Timbo?
Great video Tim. Possible over engineering/costs here? Could you install a small compressor to replicate the air brakes under hard braking/putting the handbrake on?
I actually think Helen’s idea of a horse box shop is brilliant, really is she gets my vote 👍🏼
I would drive down from aberdenn to have a go on ur sim truck . It would be worth the diesel to have a go .
I agree that would be useful
Exactly what I thought, great idea for flogging the merch at shows
or an articulated trailer
Agreed, good idea 💡
Ben doesn't need a pay rise he needs a bloody medal for putting up with Tim, there is no money to cover the stress🤣🤣
Ben is absolute awesome, make all Tim’s ideas a reality. Yes Helen needs a horse box as a merch shop Truck sim is going to be awesome.
Hey Ben, what's it like having Tim as a foster child? He seems like a handful...
😂😂😂
😂😂 why didn't I think of that 🤔.
Ben has the projects moving and he is doing a fantastic job at it this is the best thing tim has done hiring Ben to work on his trucks.
The horse box idea is actually a good idea and you should do it
I can’t wait for all of Tim’s projects to be done and he can sit back and realise how far he’s come and the things he’s accomplished 😍
As a fellow Bengineer, I would really recommend binning that thrustmaster steering wheel, it simply wont last. Reach out to Fanatec and ask if they can subsidize/sponsor you to do this as their hardware will be far more upto the task.
Yes the motor isn't made to support that amount of weight
He should get the new Moza truck wheel
@@CatSovietski He wants to keep the cab true to its original form, What he needs is a proper Wheelbase! Moza's or Fanatec either one will do with direct drive and a proper gearbox
I know I'm late but just upgrading to the TM T818 will be enough, no Funnytech is necessary
@@Sithhy Half a dozen, one or the other. Doesnt matter what brand it is aslong as it aint cheap 💩 that resembles the same plastic they put in buscuit packs.
Come on Tim, Buy Helen a Scania horse box which can be the mobile merch store at events. can do a build series on it and everything. get the back all wired up and plumbed so you can have hot drinks and lighting too in the back.
There got to be a few ex stobart ones out there some where 😂😂😂
I think it'd be even better if he gets her a trailer for the Volvo where the entire trailer is a mobile merch store. The amount of merch they can fit back there is uncanny.
Ex police or something 😂😂 Helen might get lucky and get one with a cell to put Tim in when he's being naughty!
I like Helen's idea of a horse box shop is great, even if its small!
Love watching the chuckle brothers 😂
Glad i wasn't the only one thinking that at the beginning . imagine tim and Shaun in one of those red and white peddle cars 🤣
Laurel and Hardy all day long 😂😂👍
i love how happy he is. Its just so awesome to see someone so excited.
Ben needs a medal and Helen deserves the horse box for a mobile merch store such a great idea
Tim should make some trucking sim vids in the life of Tim channel
Who is with me
👇
I would consider putting a door in the back of the cab. I have a feeling shutting the cab doors with tvs mounted on them will eventually knacker the electronics. They’re not designed to have shock put through them
Anyone else happy with Ben working with tim so we can all see progress on the trucks haha
Ben needs a medal and a pay rise. Hes great. And such a grafter. Please make more content with him. He fits in soo well
OMG Cant wait to see Trucker Sim fully functional and in operation, id love to try it out Tim.
Helen does deserve her own Project after seeing all yours and I think Horse Cart Merc sounds fantastic.
It is probably a good idea 🤣 looks like we might be starting another project 🤣
@@TruckerTim Oh no more🤣
Helen needs a mobile merch store 100%. The sim should be called Trucker sim with a Leo numberplate. Great video
Tim, I passed you early Yesterday morning coming down the M74 between Junc 12-13 around 06.30 am in the opposite direction to you as you were heading South, Your Scania Truck looking rather Nice with the new Red Lo-Loader trailer, Keep up the good Work.👍
Tim got me laughing loudly when he said "a raise he can't go ANY HIGHER HELEN!!!!"
You've got to give it to ben , he's one hell of an engineer! an excellent find Timbo!
Yep he is a man of many talents
The one thing I like about Bengineer is... HE GETS STUFF DONE! I'd love to come and have a go!
I think Ben surely deserves a raise. Seems like he is worth his weight in gold!
Ben has the patience of a saint, plus Helen’s Horse box idea gets my vote it would look good on the back of the Ranger
20:22 I knew that was a bit of Klintras grill hahahaaa
Do you charge for recovery in ya own yard “Shaun Yep Yep “😂😂😂😂😂👍
Leo is one lucky lad, he is going to make so many memories in that truck sim
Passed you in Newmains this morning Tang , truck looks even better in the flesh 🏴💙
Hi where is the rest of this project this is amazing ❤
trucker tim i love your videos they are so funny and good keep up the good work with the truck build you will get there eventually just keep on going
Honestly... Id LOVE to have a go on it when its done.. i have seen several videos on full cab simulators and ever since i have been telling myself "Man id love to have a run in a full cab sim"..
Wow more excited for this truck sim more than the 4 series build, wish companies built them to buy aha, Ben was such a good addition to trucker Tim hq getting things done so fast, didn’t realise you was starting this truck sim this soon

If you wanted working vents/cooling in the cab you could adapt PC fans to fit behind the vents and push cool air in.
Can't wait for Sandys truck sim video coming out! Ooosshd! lol
Helen could get a towable welfare unit to turn into a merch store. Would already be fitted with power, lights, heat and insulated. Would just need fitting out.
You should get a trackir. it allows you to move the first-person camera with your head so it gives you more immersive driving
Remember to get TrackIR for the Truck sim! So when you move your head it moves ingame too!
Dont need that when you have screens everywhere you need to look
don't need that when you have screens to cover it up lol
Hey Helen, have a word with Nipper, upgrade horsebox to full size living trailer with merch store in 1 half of it 😉 sure Tim won't mind towing it everywhere
Helen would love that!

Oh and everyone needs a Ben! bengineer! Fabulous
U need to get a T-Cab great to see projects coming along. When u doing your solo first winch out 😂
Ben is actually a genuis!!
Facts me may be daft and silly but he certainly has a brain
Should have gone for a LHD Tim for the Continent. When you get up and running in ETS, install ProMods Europe map, much more detail and lots more cities!
you could put a stone guard at the bottom of the window to block the light out
For airvent, get an enterprise server fan instead. High CFM, audible.. and made to work with pc's... Ish. Do look if the board can provide enough amps...
YOU PASSED THE CAMPER THAT YOU JUST POSTED AT 3:40
He is called Bengineer for a reason! I love the practicality on integrating the wheelbase and pedal on the existing parts of the scanny
You need another board for being bored.
Love the content Tim as always.Yes Ben.
Dare I ask ------- who is leading who in this project, I get worried expecting Tim to break something that Ben has spent the day putting together. The best part about Tim is his abundant enthusiasm, it is a fantastic combination, especially when Helen makes a simple, and very valid, request.
I much prefer the videos when you on the road doin a job BOY 👍
As a Euro Truck fanatic, I am so interested in this project and what the total budget will come up to. When it is finished I am sure lots of people will actually pay to drive it
Ye, he needs to buy a trailer for shows and have half of it another truck sim bcs lots of ppl would pay for a go and half of it a merch store
Sooo, did you ever finish it?
Would love for me and my mate to have a go when the Trucker SIM is complete, it is gonna be awesome
What a great idea love it , great work Ben , very clever man , you did well Tim bringing Ben on board , so much getting done 😊, the horse box shop a great idea too 😊
Bengineer is an awesome bloke, perfect for the channel!
When you will finish all your projects, i'm hoping to see a t-cab and a DAF in your garage!
Loving the truck sim , can't wait to see it operational .
Did you finish it?
Great content! Are you planning on showcasing the final build? Maybe a gameplay footage?
My 4 series under bed locker used to lift up like that as a table and slide over towards the passenger seat so you could use it as a lap tray aswell
Morning Tim what you doing on the m74 this morning heading south lol it was me that flashed in the yodel truck 👍 unit looking nice 👍
7:35 is when i think Ben was close to crying 🤣All the extra paint work he is going to have to do
please we need another part of this when is done i want to see A video of it all working please after
3:40 MAISYY!!
Top Work Ben 👍 Great content as ever Tim, my kids and I would love a visit to meet you all and try the Sim.
Pedals easier way take out wires and circuit board and wire them to the cab pedals so when you press it reacts like the pc peddles do
Watching you put them cabs in the unit all I can think of is that old Milky Way advert.
The red car and the blue car had a race….
All red car could do was stuff his faaaaaace!
Poor old Ben. I can sense and argument😂. Nice progress on the sim project Tim. By the way can you let us know what truckfests your attending this year? 👍❤️😉😁
The simulator will be MEGA!
hey tim i suggest swapping the thrustmaster t248 out for a moza wheel they are excellent for the price you pay
See even Ben thinks your a headache that don’t go away 😂 that’s what in the last video he needs to fabricate a cot or cage to lock you in when you start being trouble 😂😂😂
Where did the Scania shifter knob come from because i want to buy one
hey tim its me i thought you wasent going to post anything cause i didint see you was online posting youtube content but again an aswsome video tim and iam glad the boat trip went ok with the 2 jetskies and a yacht iam gla it worked out and aim glad you had fun
I actually think the horse box is a really good idea, at truck shows you've got the V8 all branded up, you get the mobile shop next to it, all attracts eyes and attention, makes the brand look more serious.
One thing a love about you tim, what's that ... Nothing 😂😂😂😂
trucker tim rules the roads
Ben is a hard working man to make the magic happen😊. and it saves you a lot of time Tim 😂
it’s coming along tim 💪 you should definitely try and wire up the key to turn on the pc, wire the indicator stalk for the game indicator and the lights for lights, keen to see it happen
YES! I want to do that too 👍
FYI pc run on 12v which most interior lights and fans also run on 12v. So if you get a good pc / power supply and a good pc builder they might very well be able to wire up most of the interior to come on with the pc.

How do you make the buttons work through your PC because I am thinking of a similar idea but obviously without the cab 😂
I think you should make a shop straight on to the back of Helen’s truck. An all in one mobile TT unit
Ben you deserve a medal
Ben deserves a medal 🥇 working for Tim 😂😂
Whatever Ben gets paid it ain’t enough to put up with impatient Tim😳
Great video Tim. Possible over engineering/costs here?
Could you install a small compressor to replicate the air brakes under hard braking/putting the handbrake on?
Heavy handed lol
Tim the king of heavy handed..🔨🔨🔨
Will the cab move bump when u drive over speed humps bumps on the sim
Is this the same benjeneering aka ben lake that does the custom diffusers etc for the mazda.mps??
This is brilliant used to have a truck similar to setup but nothing as extreme as this your mental tim 😂😂
I approve of the horse box idea I also like the sim keep up with the amazing work
Didn’t know that about the table, clever idea.
What happens to dirt and dust between the windscreen and the monitor screens?
Fit screen washer and wipers
Great progress the sim is going be mega 👍
Could you hide the gear shifter in the gear boot? Or make a bigger boot
where did you get the gear stick from Tim
I did think I couldn’t see the blue cab yesterday when I drove by!
When trucker tim hits the door of the blue 4 series ben holding back the sweary words😂😂
Do you know about i/o expansion chips tim. So you can get all your inputs on one arduino and all your dash lights etc out on another?
11:59 How does Tim get his truck to move forward if he presses the clutch instead of the accelerator 😂
