I got it from you Jordan and I've been using it a lot lately.

I've got the same problem. Thank you both for sharing the all the 3rd gen love!

this forum has been amazing , but MTBTM and Sean have been more than amazing, instructional, entertaining and at times funny
well funny......maybe that was the wrench lubricant I consumed before watching a video

Thanks a lot Tim, not only for the videos, but the replies on YouTube and T4R.org. Some of my questions were just stupid for not watching entire videos, but you were patient enough to answer them anyway...

Keep doin' what you do man....these things are GOLD

Haven’t been on here near as long as everyone else, but the little I have been exposed to Tim and Sean has been really helpful. I appreciate what you both do and was fortunate to meet you both at the last gathering at your house Tim. Look forward to more stuff from you and Sean and again, thanks for all that you do!

It’s been so cool reading all these comments from people we’ve empowered to do their own automotive repair. I myself have learned a ton from this forum and from Tim. Tim has been nothing but a super generous guy to myself and others we’ve helped Over the years. I never would have thought what we started 3 years ago would turn into something so big for those who love to wrench and especially for those that own 3rd gens.

I am super passionate about these rigs and I too like to help others. This YouTube channel really couldn’t have been done alone. I’ve always wanted to share knowledge and teach out so others could benefit from what I learned from the next person. The very first YouTube video I made was almost 6 years ago about how to clean your MAF. I always like to bring a cheeky side to the videos and that’s my editing style, but ultimately it’s aboit getting the point across and make it clear what needs to be done to get a job done. That video now has 140k views. It’s nothing special but it’s the fact of the matter that I enjoy teaching out. So when Tim and I teamed up over a valve cover gasket job, it was awesome to find someone like minded. Plus it’s not as fun wrenching by yourself.

I value every member on this forum. The ones who ask questions, the members who answer them and the ones who have done write ups etc. this forum has been instrumental in meeting really cool dudes, some of which I’m good friends with now. This forum has allowed me to invite total strangers To my parents house where I hosted my first MOD DAY over 4 years ago. Some of the people that came that have been good friends ever since. There is also one forum member who I really admired and looked up to. @SCRunner12 was the very first member I met in San Jose when he helped a guy put on his lift kit. It was so cool that he basically did it for free and the mentality for him was he was paying it forward because when he started 4running, someone did the same for him.

So T4R is basically this community where people want to genuinely help others and you don’t get much of that out in the real world. So again, I want to thank all of you for your kind words and supporting our mission to keep making content for future wrenchers.

Love you too boo!

Wish I was on here more often, but 3 kids and a never ending list of projects keeps me busy. Hopefully make it out to the next meet.

So are you saving the 5000th post?

I spend a lot of time watching the videos. They have been super helpful. I just wish after 1500 posts I could have contributed more. I do have good advice on rust repair.

I feel better then. The Dewalts should serve you well for another three years at least.

I have to ask if you were ever able to figure out that random PO 171, where y’all replaced both the A/F sensor as well as the rear O2? I think it was where you bought the laptop for Techstream? My brother had been chasing a PO 171 on his wife’s Avalon for months. Turns out that there was a leak at the EVAP switching valve that was only present when hot. He found it using a smoke machine.

We were chasing a P0301 misfire code and we still haven't figured it out yet. I've been waiting to get Greg back over my place to check his timing and do a leak-down test of his #1 cylinder.

Ah that’s right. Not enough coffee this morning.

Great job @mtbtim and @infamousRNR ! You guys have inspired me to do most of the work on my Runner myself. Can't thank you enough.

Keep up the incredible work.

I think I've watched pretty much all the videos, got my 4Runner around the time you guys started making videos. I'd be wrenching on it myself either way but I really appreciate that you guys show the part numbers and give the torque specs, even showing the page number you reference in the FSM....I hate wasting time watching other videos where the info is just generic - "use the appropriate sized tool and torque the fastener to spec required" blah blah blah

Just this past weekend I was muttering "Gudentite" while tightening the top rear shock mounts on a new pair of 5100's lol.....

Thanks! That made me laugh.

Thank you
