Timmy the Toolman Show hits 10k Subscribers!
Hey Dudes and Dudettes,
I wanted to share with Y'all a milestone
@ infamousRNR
and I just hit last night. After 2 1/2 years and around 90 videos, we have attracted 10k subscribers to our channel and we know a decent percentage of that 10k is coming from members of this forum.
It's been an interesting ride so far. Running a YouTube channel is a lot of work but it's very rewarding knowing all the people we've been able to help out. It can also be very challenging and frustrating too, no doubt.
If you're a subscriber, thanks for supporting us. If you're not a subscriber, you should check out our channel and the DIY video thread we have started on this forum.

Peace out,
Timmy

Congratulations Timmy,Its because of your videos my rig doesn’t look like it’s on fire when I parked because of my leaky valve covers and a bunch of other repairs I wouldn’t have done

I subscribed in hopes of seeing someone ride one of the bikes in the garage one day.
Keep them videos coming.

The driver's door lock on my 98 is getting lazy and doesn't always unlock all the way. I can see us doing the door lock motor swap sometime in the near future.
I don't know about reupholstering seats but that does sound like something Sean might be into though.

They get ridden all the time. You should come visit and we'll do a cruiser ride to Los Gatos, get some beers and perv on all the hot MILFS walking around.

Nothing better than perving on the MILFs while wearing T4r.org shirts.
Off topic Tim, but did you ever figure out Greg’s misfire?

Tim and Sean - congratulations!
This forum, and your videos were a consideration in me choosing a 3rd gen.
While I can think of several potential How-to videos to ponder, one that you seemingly missed, and probably by design, is the routine oil change.
For most on this forum that is no not needed of course, but there are likely many out there who need or would prefer such a tutorial. And for those who have never turned a wrench before, or haven't in a long time, this would a good starting point for such folks...
Along those same lines, a short video on jacking-up the front and rear, noting the jack points, placement of jack stands, related considerations and safety precautions like chocking tires. The benefit of having such a video not only highlights the importance of this pre-work and safety, but you can reference this foundational video in subsequent DIYs without feeling the need to explain what you did each time....
While I'd like to see a video on the removal and/or installation of the sun/moonroof, I realize that there is probably little demand for such. The two I mentioned though are low-hanging fruit in that they can be done with ease anytime and would have broad appeal...
Thanks again for all that you do.

Thanks Tim and Sean
Your vids have helped me more than you know. Three or four big projects from Timing Belt to Drum Breaks. I always look to see if Timmy has done it before I try,
Thanks.
