Nice to hear our videos are helping you out. Thanks for letting me know. It helps keep us motivated to keep making videos.

No, I didn’t see it. Beautiful! Learning to weld takes auto repair to a whole new level. I have seen other members learn to weld, then be able to hone their skills to build sliders, bumpers, etc. I will say that down the road that once you have gas you won’t want to go back.

Still love seeing the videos. Believe me, you and Sean efforts never go unnoticed here.

I got a Hobart 210 MVP welder and I'm using a 75/25 Argon mix with solid wire. I definitely need lots more practice before I start welding any major projects.

Thanks for the support for our channel. You've been with us from the start.

Since almost all 3rd gens are 20+ years old, some people are probably here to find repair advice since the rigs are starting to need more attention than ever. I'm sure in the past, this forum page was maybe not littered with repair help and assistance and was more of enjoying the rig and having fun with it.

We are in a very tough time too. Not everyone is as happy as before because of this corona shit :/

Oh yes. I watched local business close for good because of the mandates issued by the governor here. The entire nation and world has been effected.
I am hoping 2021 is just going to be better then the previous. :-)

Always appreciate your videos, Tim. They've helped me more times than I can count. Many thanks for you and Sean's invaluable work. 🤙

Just watched earlier today, great video! I have to do tie rods, ball joints and brakes, figured while I'm in there I might as do the 300,000 mi bearings!

Yup, I got this exact press today but it was for my Civic since it needs both front wheel bearings. The total came out to be $151 for me so there might be even more discounts depending on the store.

From what I see, things are going to get a whole lot worse. I won't go into details of why I feel this way because then it's talking politics and I don't want to do that here.

Awesome video @mtbtim and @infamousRNR !
How do you manage to find such handsome co-stars for your videos?

Well, we do a casting call and pick the best looking ones. It doesn't matter if they're experienced at turning wrenches. It's all about appearance. Pretty simple. Ha ha.

I had to send nudes and didn’t even get to be in one of the videos, Tim must not have been impressed with how I hold a wrench

Is it me or has T4R become a bit tame these days? Maybe I miss some of the old regulars I use to see more posts from like yourself. These days, I post a video and it's crickets. Like "Oh that's just Tim posting another video, no big deal." When I post our videos on some Facebook pages, the response is wayyyy better. There just doesn't seem to be the same enthusiasm anymore on this forum for what Sean and I are doing. I'll keep posting my videos here no doubt, but maybe I'll just add them to our master video thread and call it a day.

I have used your videos as a research tool/ reference point for a few projects on my 4Runner. Thankfully - knocking on wood- I have not needed to do anything major wrenching on my 4Runner lately. I have been able to focus on non-mechanical upgrades.

The Internet is cyclic and the people will come back around. Currently "slower" media like forums are still having a hard time hanging on. People tend to use app based media (FB, Instagram, and such) without understanding the benefit of a decently organized forum. Hopefully the cycle will come back around and good forums will have their day again.
