3rd Gen T4R DIY Maintenance, Repair and Modification Videos
@
BrianSD_42
gave me an idea when he started a thread, "List of 3rd Gen Builds with the most DIY help/advice".
@
infamousRNR
(aka Sean) and I (aka Timmy the Toolman) have done a fair amount of DIY videos now and I was thinking it would be helpful to put them all in one place, so if somebody finds this thread, they'll find every DIY video we've done to date and maybe one of them will help them out.
So, sit back, relax and enjoy some "Toyota Time" with Timmy the Toolman and Sean.
Edit 04/19/16 - Other members have expressed interest in posting their DIY videos on this thread as well and I say go right ahead.
Edit 05/06/16 - It was suggested that a Table of Contents listed in the first post with permalinks to the videos would be beneficial to people visiting this thread and looking for a particular video without having to browse through all the pages. So, here it goes:

It's important to put yourself in the end users shoes and second guess what they might put in the google search field. Most don't even bother to use the advanced features. Or worse yet, they start a new thread.
I think the other part of that is referencing the FSM or (cough...Haynes) for validity. I look forward to seeing how this progresses.
EDIT: In a blink of an eye and you had already posted the videos! Once you read this I'll delete it so I don't clutter this thread.
I find the whole search engine thing problematic. For instance, when I do a Google search for the valve cover gasket video Sean and I did, I don't find it anywhere. When I search for it via YouTube, it comes up on the first page. And, our titles are usually pretty descriptive and we put every keyword imaginable to help people find it. I'm pretty sure our videos via a Google search aren't coming up because they haven't had that many views yet or something like that.
I started this thread so if somebody stumbled across it, they might find something inside that was useful to them.

This is a cool idea. I don't understand the @----- in the title though.

Looks like they've been pretty busy. I suspect talking to yourself is a sign of inadvertently sniffing too much carb/brake cleaner while wrenching. It will wear off soon I'm sure...
