I've used lots of your vids, most recently swapping in an E-locker. I will be tackling a 5-speed swap solo however. You could fly out and document.

I appreciate the effort you've put in to make these videos, and especially when you make a mistake or run into a problem, and point it out a better way to do it.

You guys are amazing for putting together such detailed videos! Thank you! I used several of them from fluid flushes to the center console swap. It was also the videos that actually finally made me join this forum instead of just lurking/reading as a guest.


As far as recommendations.. you haven't done a transfer case output shaft seal replacement yet have you? Mine's leaking and I've just been putting off doing it out of laziness and not having found a good breakdown of what I need to do it.

other then that you guys have been rockin with everything so far! the general maintenance stuff has been the most valuable to me, personal. so thanks again!

You should come over and we'll make a video of replacing your transfer case seal. If it's not a rush, which it doesn't sound like it is, we'll find a day that works for you, me and Sean and we'll getter dun. Send me a PM and I'll give you my cell number.

@mtbtim , @infamousRNR Much appreciation for what you have provided for the community! I know if has helped me for sure! It would be fun to see dual transfer cases/triple sticks go in. I know that is only for a select few out there but why not ...I bet this would lead to more builds in the The Official 3rd Gen Dual Case, Dual Locked Thread ...hint hint

YEEESSSS that'd be rad

The first Timmy YouTube video I came across was when I first got the 4Runner, and was ready for a timing belt job. I noticed that the video was some 1.5 hours long, and I thought to myself - "you've got to be kidding me, who has 1.5 hours to watch some stupid video?"

Then I watched the video and became an instant convert. I've never seen other YouTube how-to videos that show meticulously every bolt and nut to be removed, every part that is involved, and every potential "gotcha" during the process. I watched the video on my Toughbook as I was doing the job, and it worked like a charm.

I honestly think that having a community with folks like Tim, Sean, and Jordan, not to mention Keith (wait, I just did ), is one of my favorite parts of having the 4Runner.

Keep up the good work guys!

I agree with all the positive things people have already said before me. Especially the comments about taking time to correct errors or misinformation & discussing more efficient ways of getting the job done. That and the detail you go into is what I appreciate the most and sets your videos apart from the rest. We all make mistakes but it takes someone very confident to go back and re-evaluate your own work to make it better, then video it to share with everyone.

I've watched your rear brake drum video a couple times this week because I noticed slight seepage of brake fluid around the rubber boots on my wheel cylinders when I had the drums off to repaint them last weekend. I was due for a brake shoe change anyway so will be doing that this weekend.

Please stop making these videos, you're costing me a fortune! Every time I think I'm all done you put out another one, and the next thing you know i'm under my truck again! HAHA!
