I spent 30 years in Public Safety work and it's time for me to move on into the Retirement Chapter of my life. I will no doubt continue to make videos for this channel to give back to the Toyota/Lexus SUV & Truck Community. Happy Wrenching and Sic Mods for All!
If you're interested in learning more about me, the following is my 48 year work history that started when I was 11 years old.
*When I was 11 years old and I got my 1st job delivering an advertisement paper called the Potpourri.
*At age 12, I got a job delivering newspapers for the San Jose Mercury news. I did that for 4 years until the age of 16. I really enjoyed being a paperboy. It taught me a lot of responsibility. I not only had to deliver the papers, I had to collect the money from my customers and pay the Mercury News the cost of the papers every month, and I got to keep the rest.
*At 16, I decided to try out a fast food job, Del Taco. I lasted 2 days.
*I got a job as a bus boy for a place called Burger Pitt. I lasted about a month doing that and didn't like that job either.
*I decided to go back to work as a paper boy for my Junior year of high school.
*At age 17, my brother Jim got me a job as a Gas Station Attendant at a Chevron gas station in San Jose. I really enjoyed this job. It was a good experience.
*At one point, I needed more money and I took a job as a Construction Plumber. I worked 8 hours doing Construction, and then worked an additional 4 hours closing down the gas station every night. I worked 12 hours, 5 days a week.
*The Construction job didn't last too long and I got laid off when work slowed down. But, I learned some good skills that still benefit me today.
*One summer, I tried my hand as a roofing laborer and I tore off roofs for a summer. It was a hard physical job, but I really enjoyed it.
*Then, I got hired by Costco. I worked for them stocking shelves in the early morning before the store opened up. I did that for 2 years. I liked this job but the management sucked.
*I did a short stint as a Car Salesman for Stanford Honda. I hated that.
*I got into doing Security Work as a Security Officer at the Stanford Medical Center campus while working my way towards a Law Enforcement career. I didn't mind doing Security work but it was pretty boring.
*I met a Deputy Sheriff, Mark Garcia , at a night class we had together at De Anza College. He told me Santa Clara County was hiring lots of Correctional Officers and it could be a good stepping stone into a law enforcement career, so I applied and got hired around a year later. Being a correctional officer was pretty cool. I didn't mind supervising inmates and I was good at my job.
*During my 1st year as a Correctional Officer, I got back heavily into mountain biking and started racing. Instead of pursuing becoming a street cop, I decided to devote the next seven years racing mountain bikes. During that 7 years, I managed 4 mountain bike teams, I cyclocross team, and worked my way up to being a Semi-Pro Mountain Bike Racer, which is one step below Professional. I was a pretty good cyclist and achieved my fair share of medals.
*I went through some drama with the Department of Corrections, lost my job, but got hired by the Sheriff's Office. But, the drama from Corrections haunted me, and I was let go once again by Santa Clara County.
*I spent 5 years reinventing myself and became a firefighter. During that 5 years, I stayed afloat by doing more Security work and working for the AMR Ambulance company.
*I enjoyed my firefighting career. It was challenging and rewarding. But, it's not how Hollywood portrays the career. There's a lot of mundaneness and BS to the job. Most 911 calls aren't emergencies, but when they are, the job is exciting and rewarding. I made the most of it and had a great career working with some awesome people.
*During my firefighting career I got back into bike racing, cyclocross. I raced for the Rock Lobster team in Santa Cruz. It was a lot of fun. I finally quit due to too many injuries.
*Also during my firefighting career, I got into doing trail work. I helped build many trails in places like Nevada City, Napa, San Luis Obisbo, and around an old gold mining town called Forest City. I found building and maintaining trails to be very fun and rewarding.
And, that's my story. What does the future have to offer? Well, you already know I'm going to keep making DIY videos for this channel. I'll probably get back into doing Volunteer Trail Work and build and maintain trails. I want to maintain physical fitness by riding bikes, hiking, backpacking, lifting weights, pilates, and whatever else floats my boat. I want to travel a lot with my wife Alison and see more of the world. I want to go camping, fishing and 4wheeling. I want to make the most of the time I have left on this earth.
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I'm looking forward to retirement life.
You have no idea how much you changed my life Tim. I grew up without a father and had to learn almost everything about mechanics from RUclips. I own a 1995 Tacoma 5vzfe and 1994 22re. I’ve learned so much from your videos it’s ridiculous. I will be passing the knowledge I obtained from you to my son. I wish you well brother. Take care of yourself. Howdy from Texas.
Thanks Miles. The passing down of knowledge is huge and that was one of my goals of running this channel. Sean and I are Paying it Forward. Happy Wrenching!
@@TimmyTheToolman👍🏻
Thank you for your 30 years of service, Looking forward for the videos.
Thanks Frank!
I retired 3 years ago after 26 years as a Firefighter. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. You nailed it about the BS calls, they got really old after the years. I moved out of South Florida (where I was a Firefighter) and bought 60 acres in Georgia with a nice house and 3200 square foot shop. I’m in the process of looking for a 2 post lift myself. Congratulations Timmy and I hope you enjoy retirement as much as I am.
I can't work on cars anymore without a 2 post lift. I'm not near retirements but did my fair share of rolling under cars and now it just drives me completely insane and enraged. Got a really simple 9000lbs 2 post that fit in a 10FT high garage a few years ago, and good lord thanks for these to exist, my back thanks him too.
Wow FF in Florida must be brutal.
Yep, we both dealt with a lot of BS during our careers. It's too bad the rewarding calls were severely outnumbered by the BS calls.
It sounds like you have a really nice property. What part of Georgia are you in? I'm thinking I don't want to be too far from a sizable metropolis, because if I am, I won't find enough people to turn wrenches with. Our channel relies heavily on working on other people's vehicles. If I'm too far off the beaten path, I'll get very few people willing to make the trek to my place.
Thanks, I plan on enjoying my retirement thoroughly. I'm starting off fairly busy with lots of events, but life will slow down for me pretty soon.
I totally understand about being near a populated area due to the channel. But I will tell you this. I’m about 1 hour due East of Macon, in the middle of nowhere. Population 345 (yes you read that correctly) and I have more family and friends from the Fire department that visit me here, than I ever had. I reckon it’s because them city folks enjoy the peace and quiet that we have to offer, and my home cooking is right up there. Our nearest neighbor is about 3/4 of a mile away, so it’s plenty private and peaceful. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea to live in the sticks but I’m happier than ever. I hope you can find some property that check all the boxes like we did.
@@TimmyTheToolman Timmy you move to GA and there would be absolutely NO shortage of 3rd gens to wrench on! I'd be first in line! There's EVERYWHERE down here. And rust free
Thanks for your public service and more importantly your Toyota service! Look forward to seeing the property and new garage when you find it 🎉😎
Thank you! I'm looking forward to the new home with a shop in a more peaceful area of the country.
Thank you from your services!!!
Congratulations and well wishes on your retirement! being a suscriptor of your channel has been a source of knowledge in repairing my 1999 4Runner. Can't thank you enough!
Thank you! It's great to know our videos have helped you out. You're very welcome!
I watch your videos everyday I’m a certified RUclips mechanic thanks to your channel
Hey, we have the same certification. Knowledge is power and Sean and I are just sharing knowledge that will hopefully be paid forward and passed onto others. Thanks for the comment.
Phew!!! Yay you're still going to be around for us Yota owners! Thank you for all you do for us RUclips viewers that need assistance with our vehicles. And thank you for serving the community for so long. Congratulations 🎉 on your retirement!!
Yep, I'm going nowhere. I get a ton of satisfaction serving the Toyota/Lexus Community.
Congratulations Tim. Enjoy your videos. You have a natural talent for teaching.
Thanks you. It's great to know you enjoy our videos and I appreciate your compliment.
Congrats Tim. Im excited to see even more new vids. Ive used your vids to help me take on numerous jobs on my 3rd gen 4runner.
Enjoy retirement!
Thank you! Sean and I will definitely be coming out with lots more content. We have no plans of slowing down. Happy Wrenching!
My brother and I love your videos, we have successfully completed the head gasket job on the 1999 4runner. We are both Officers with MCSO in Maricopa County in AZ (18 years). We have learned a lot from you. I just bought a 2nd Generation Tundra (2010) SR5, not a lot of videos on the 2nd Generation Tundras out there. Good Retirement to you.
Hey Alex, I'm happy to know you love our videos. Good luck with the rest of your law enforcement careers. As time goes on, we'll make more videos for Tundras.
I'm so happy to hear this great news. Thank you for your service!.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Today I just gave maintenance to my Toyota before a long trip and visited your channel again. Thank you for everything and congratulations for your retirement.
It's nice to know our videos are helping you maintain your rig. You're very welcome and thanks!
I installed a Yota1 3.4 in my 98 Tacoma I bought new in my back yard because of your videos. Thanks brother
Why did you need a 3.4 replacement?
@@efil4kizum because my original engine gave out at 575k with cracked heads
@@wfyfwfyf WOW! that is a Ton of taco miles! my '97 3.4 is only at 355k
You gave me the confidence to take on the task of replacing my clutch and transmission.
The idea of a bigger lot and shop is in the back of my mind too. Looking forward to see what the future holds for you!
That's great to know our videos gave your the confidence to tackle that big job on your rig. A bigger shop with a lift will be awesome. I'm very much looking forward to it. Thanks!
Congratulations brother! I remember finding out about your channel after picking up my first 4runner years ago and are the reason I am now mechanically inclined, thank you!
Thank you! It's great to know you became your own mechanic learning from our videos. Anything can be learned and mastered with enough time and effort. You're very welcome.
You saved me when I was changing out my differential seals on my 98 limited edition Tacoma. You walked me through a scary procedure. Thank you. Without your channel my rebuild would never have happened. Thank you again from this poor Okie- heathen in Cherokee country.
I'm happy to know our video helped you out with your front differential. You're very welcome and thanks for taking the time to comment.
Congratulations Tim. Thanks for your public safety services and helpful videos for Lexus and Toyota. Enjoy your golden age.
ThanksTim. I definitely plan on enjoying the time I have left. Lots of adventures await.
My 1995 Toyota T-100 (and me of course) are super grateful for your RUclips Videos! Keep up the great work!
Sean and I will keep it up. Thanks!
Come back to GA soon! Thanks for your content, I owe my 4WD conversion to you!
I'm coming in late October. My buddy Jordan and I will be driving up into Raleigh, NC for a day of wheeling and a Timmy the Toolman Party at TEQ Customs in Raleigh. You should join us. A video invite will be coming out around 1 month before the event. Stay tuned.
Awesome brother! Appreciate your service and I know those in that county owe their lives to y’all. Will be good to see more content and enjoy your retirement brother! 🤙
God bless~
Thank you! Sean and I will definitely be coming out with lots more content. Stay tuned...
Congrats....Used more than 1 of your videos over the years working on my Toyota trucks.
Thank you! Sean and I will keep churning out the content. I imagine you'll find more videos of ours to use as time goes on.
I have rebuilt most of my 99 4Runner using your videos, Thanks Tim! Congrats on the 30 years of service, and retirement Sir!
That's awesome to know our videos have helped you out so much with your 3rd Gen. Thanks!
Timmy, thank you for your service working in public safety for so long. You and your soon-to-be former colleagues don’t get enough of the recognition and appreciation you all deserve.
I’m in Fresno, and in so many ways, watching your videos have helped me so much working on my 3rd gen. It’s endearing to know someone who is only about 2.5 hours away knows so much about 3rd gen’s, and can break things down in easy to follow instructions.
Hats off to you, now go get some sleep!
Welcome to retirement! Maybe we cross paths sometime on the trails. My wife and I both recently retired and do long haul trips all over the west. Your videos keeping my 98 on the road and trails. Thx for everything you do....we all owe you.
Thank you. That's awesome you and your wife can do trips like that together. I enjoy road trips to camp and mountain bike. You're very welcome!
love to see this happen! im very happy for you and look forward to meeting you in person sometime to the future! cheers
Thanks! I'm looking forward to life after retirement.
Timmy! This means you have more opportunity to help your brother Jim, which is the most important!
He has plenty of help from my mother. What he really needs is to take ownership of his life, but I doubt that will happen.
I just watched the video of you changing out the Valve cover gasket on an 80 series. I followed it step by step and got it all done. Thank you and enjoy your retirement.
Great to know our video helped you out with your 80 Series. Thanks! I plan on enjoying life after retirement.
Congratulations!!!!!
You were with me from brakes to full toytech coilovers.
Keep up the good work.
We all appreciate your videos and especially the way you share your knowledge!!!!!
Thanks
Thanks! I'm happy to know our videos have helped you out. We will definitely keep up the good work. I appreciate your comment. You're very welcome and Happy Wrenching!
Congrats on your retirement Timmy, 30 years of public services is no joke. You stepped up and got it done 👍. You will have lots of free time now to go camping, hiking, traveling and more time to your channel. Get the heck out of San Jose and some land. I did the same 3 years ago. Bougtht an acre and built a 3500 sq foot shop with a 11 car garage with a 24 foot ceiling for my Bendpack 2 post lift. Sick mods and a Sick life after retirement 🙏
you guys are living the american dream, wow!!!
Thanks. Where did you move to?
@@TimmyTheToolman I’m in los Osos California. San Luis Obispo county
Thank you so much for everything youve done for the Toyota community overall. Youve been a blessing to many of us that didnt know how to DIY. God bless!
You're very welcome. Thank you for what you said. Happy Wrenching!
Thank you for your public service!! And of course these sic videos!! Can’t wait to see more of it!!!
It was my pleasure to serve society and I'll continue doing it through our channel. More helpful videos will be coming your way. Happy Wrenching!
Congratulations on a successful career in public safety work. Long time fan/ viewer, I appreciate your Toyota videos! Your videos are my first reference when working on my Taco. I'm looking forward to more sick videos.
Thanks! Thanks for being a true fan of our channel. There will be plenty of Sic Videos coming from Sean and I.
Im so glad Timmy will keep making videos. You have helped me so much ! I accomplished a very good valve cover gasket job on m u 5vze. New half moons. Cam plugs. Toyota gasket. No leaks! Thanks so much timmy. Excited to see what you do in the future with the channel! Come on over to idaho
Idaho is a consideration. I've been there on a mountain biking trip. I'm glad our videos have helped you out. Stay tuned for more Sic Content from Sean and I.
Congrats on retirement! This is great for the Toyota/Lexus community! Your videos are always the blueprint for my repairs and then I check out other sites for any pointers. You’ve helped me keep my 2000 LX470 running well and helped this rookie mechanic gain confidence! Cheers!
Thanks! It's great to know our videos have helped you out with your LX470 and you've gained confidence as a DIY Mechanic. Happy Wrenching!
Congratulation sir!!! Thank-you for your services and all of your RUclips contents!!! 🎉🙏
Thanks Sean!
Oh man. You totally got us with this! So happy for all the vids, recommendations and honest help that you have given us over the years. Even happier you'll keep banging. Thank YOU!
Yeah, we fooled more than a few people with that video title. It's great to know you appreciate our channel. We have no plans on slowing down. Thanks and you're very welcome.
I've got a 99 SR5 with 312k already built to the hilt and I'm just getting started! Your videos have saved me THOUSANDS! Mad respect for your service my friend. Happy trails!
It's awesome to know how much money our videos have saved you. Thank you!
That was a relief. Glad to hear this! Your videos have been the greatest resource ever to Toyota owners! Happy retirement and wrenching!
Yeah, we did our first clickbait with this video. It was fun reading the reactions from people. Thanks for what you said. I appreciate it!
Congrats on this milestone Tim! Well deserved! Can't wait to see what the future brings for you and your channel!
Thank you. Good things are coming.
Congrats on retirement and thanks for your service. Many many thanks for all the amazing videos. Stoked to hear there will be more!
Thanks, Brenden, and you're very welcome! We will definitely be making more content.
Congratulations on retirement Tim! My SiL is also a firefighter and deals with the fendy bendy zombies everyday. It’s a tough job for sure, but I’m thankful for all of you who step up.
I’ve been watching you since the channel started and used your videos for doing my timing belt and valve covers. Thank you!
Thank you! The job of a firefighter is not easy. Thanks for being a longtime fan of our channel. You're very welcome and Happy Wrenching!
Congratulations 🎉🎉 Thanks for all the great information and can't wait to see what you'll do now!
Thanks! More Sic Content will be coming.
Congratulations! Very much anticipating future mechanical adventures.
@@tikitavi7120 Thanks! More videos will be coming for quite some time.
Tim, congratulations on the official announcement! I'm hoping to be right behind you in the retirement line. I own you so much for all the help you gave me and the hand holding as I tackled the Sequoia. Looking forward to see you and doing some more wrenching. The offer for you two to come down and visit still stands - just give us a shout. You'll appreciate that I'm doing the valve cover gaskets on my LC 100 series this evening and checking your videos for expert advice!
Thanks Isaac. Please remind me where you live.
Happy retirement Tim! I really love your channel and looking forward to see some more cool Toyota stuffs! Thank you
Thank you! I'm stoked to know you love our channel. We will be making videos for a long time to come. You're very welcome and Happy Wrenching!
That is so rad man, huge congratulations to you. Thanks for your service in fire but also the Yota maintenance videos! You have come in clutch so many times with your highly detailed videos as I am still wrenching on my 97 4runner as I approach the 300k mile mark! Keep on keeping on!
Thanks Bro! I appreciate your comment.
Congrats on moving onwards to the next chapter!! Props for chasing your passion and sharing it with folks on the way. Excited to see the next new shop.
Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to having a large shop with room for more tools.
Thank you for your service Timmy! You helped me a bunch of times with my 3rd Gen 4Runner. I'm at 358k miles so far and I will be doing my rack and pinion very soon because of you sir!
@Georvanovic Thanks for the comment. I'm happy our videos are helping you out. Good luck with the steering rack swap.
Tim ,I live in Maryland and you have trained and coached me on my 2002 4 runner. I am true follower of all your great videos. Glad you are staying with us; thanks again. I am a retired Maryland Ranger- BE SAFE
Thanks for being a fan and supporter of our channel. I hope for a long retirement for the both of us. We've earned it.
you have no idea how much anxiety i had when i saw this video title. lol just totalled my '98 5spd. think im going to rebuild after watching the engine swap series.
THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!
Wow, that's amazing, congratulations! You had me pretty freaked out most of the day till I finally got to watch your video. Thank you form Colorado for all of your help and inspiration repairing my 98 4RUNNER. I love that truck and you've helped me with it a ton. I think my favorite job you helped me with was the rear axle seals and bearings. I now have a cool specialty tool and floor press to show for it, but what's more is that I have the confidence that I did the job better than the local shop would have, and i saved lots of money, and i have new tools. Thank you so much and i look forward to the future vids.
Thanks! Yeah, the video title fooled a lot of people. We know it was total clickbait, but it's been fun reading the responses. Isn't it a great feeling to be empowered to do an involved job and knowing now you can probably do it better than any paid guy at a shop? You're very welcome and stay tuned for more helpful content from Sean and I.
Whew, first thought was retiring from YT! Congratulations and thank you for your time served! ENJOY RETIREMENT AND YOUR SLEEP!!!
Yeah, this was the first and only clickbait thumbnail we've ever done but we didn't leave people hanging for long. I plan on enjoying my retirement. Thank you!
I’m glad you won’t be leaving RUclips completely. Your videos have been immense help in the care and feeding of a 3rd gen 4Runner & first gen Tacoma; both 5VZ trucks.
Yep, I'm going nowhere. I find creating DIY videos with Sean way too rewarding to quit doing it. You'll be seeing videos from us for a long time to come. It's awesome to know our videos have helped you out with both of your rigs. Thanks for commenting and Happy Wrenching!
Congrats on your retirement, Tim!!! Thanks so much for your service, both in public safety, and with this invaluable channel! I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me do all my own work on my '03 Tacoma 5VZ-FE. No single resource has helped me more.
A big property with a shop and lift is the dream for me too! I hope you get it soon! Can't wait for all the new content and sick mods to come as you enjoy your passion before our very eyes! I am forever grateful to have this channel available to me whenever I need to reference something I am working on with my truck and perhaps new trucks someday. Haha! Cheers, brother!
Thank you and you're very welcome. I never get tired hearing from people who say our videos have helped them out. I'm going to make my shop dream happen no doubt. Happy Wrenching!
#Letsgo #Congrats🎉 Timmy
You brought us a whole library of knowledge and so much more. Thanks Timmy!
My pleasure Luis. Thanks for the comment and You're Very Welcome!
So sick Tim! Stoked to see that you do with it full time, we couldn’t do it with out you. Replacing an exhaust valve right now and extra thankful for your videos the past couple of weeks!!!
Thanks Davis. It's great to know our videos are helping you out. Good luck finishing the job.
Timmy, congrats on your well-deserved retirement. You are a true person of integrity and I'm glad to know you. Hope for more wrenching, wheeling, and beer drinking in the future.
Thanks Jordan. You've got me as a friend for the rest of my life. I hope to do lots more adventures and wrench turning with you.
Congrats Timmy! Thank you for your service! We love ya!
Thanks Adam. I appreciate it!
Hell yeah!! That title scared me
We know it was total clickbait, but it was fun reading some of the responses.
This is awesome! You’re an OG in the old 4Runner mafia page and even since I sold my 3rd Gen and I’m in a 2nd Gen taco now I’ve kept up with your awesome knowledge. Easily one of the most helpful channels out there
Thanks! I appreciate you seeing our channel in such a positive light.
Congrats! Looking forward to your move, new shop and more adventures!
Thanks!
Congrats on your retirement and thank you for you service in public safety! I have a fire service history also, so I totally understand what you mean about the rewarding and fulfilling calls have become very few and far between! I have a 2002 Tacoma with the 5VZFE engine and all of the work I have done on it over the past 6 years (and it's been a lot of work!) has been guided by your videos and expertise. It's not just you knowledge, but the way you deliver it that makes it easy to follow, understand and learn. Plus, it's entertaining! Again, congrats and I look forward to see what you have coming!
Thanks! Yep, you know what the job was like and can relate. Great to know our videos have helped you out a lot with your 1st Gen Tacoma. Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it!
Congratulations and thank you for your service!!!
Thanks Spencer.
Timmy, congrats! Your channel started my T4R journey with a 3rd gen in 2013. I’ve learned so much from you and Sean. I’m eternally grateful. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Thank you. It's great to know you've learned a lot from our channel. Keep learning and turning wrenches.
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you that you were able to retire with your health and a positive perspective. Well earned, enjoy it.
@russellbaker7026 Thanks Russell!
Your vids really helped me when I lifted my 3rd Gen 4R and many other things. Thanks for all the sic mod vids and I look forward to many more!
Hey Tim, It's great to know our videos have helped your with your 3rd Gen. You're very welcome and Sean and I do plan on putting out lots for videos over the years to come. Happy Wrenching!
Congratulations, Tim! Very relieved to hear you’re not retiring from RUclips. We’re all so blessed to have someone like you in our community. I’m sure those at Salinas Fire are sad to see you go, but it sounds like a well-earned retirement. Wish you all the very best and look forward to more of your helpful content.
Thanks Sean. I appreciate your message. Some of my co-workers were sad to see me go, others are probably indifferent since they barely knew me and then there were probably a few happy to see me go. I was outspoken on some topics, mainly how the Covid pandemic was handled by our department and union and I ruffled some feathers. But, I wouldn't change a thing. It's important to speak up when you see things going down the wrong path. Happy Wrenching!
From one law enforcement public safety servant to another, my sincerest CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement!!
@yellowfeet5681 Thanks Brother!
Congrats! 🎉
And thanks for still making videos 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks and it's my pleasure to keep making videos with Sean to help people. Happy Wrenching!
Since you started your broadcast at you tube I fallowed almost all videos, thanks again for shared a valuable Toyota information. I’m from Costa Rica and a Toyota lover as a kid just TOYOTA around.
Thanks for being a loyal fan of our channel my Costa Rican Toyota Brother!
Congrats Tim! Thank you for all you've taught us!
Thanks and you're very welcome!
Cool to know that you served your community as well as the toyota/lexus community as well. Cant wait to see the upgrades!
Hilux 2015 needs to be fully useful
Congrats! This is huge news! Thanks for all you have done for the community and what you will continue to do! 🤙
Thank you!
Congrats Timmy? Your videos got me through a timing belt change on my old 5VZ 4Runner and many years later for my sins, I bought a 2003 Tacoma that needs new heads, a frame straightening and much more! Keep the content coming!
Thank you! It's great to know our videos have helped you with some big jobs. Good luck with the head swap on your 1st Gen Tacoma. In case you didn't know, we have a series for it. ruclips.net/video/iSFpwnCuBDk/видео.htmlsi=rGNSenE0N7madaSW
My 3rd gen owes it all to TIM!! As does my 06 Tundra! CONGRATS!!!
Thanks! I'm glad our videos are helping you with both your rigs.
Timmy. Thanks for all you do.
You have a great teaching style…. Very detailed, informative, easy going and humble all at the same time.
Congratulations on your well deserved retirement.
I am the original owner to a 99 limited 4x4 4Runner with 140k miles and have been keeping up with the maintenance and also restoring it as I have decided to keep it just to see how long it will last. 😂
I look forward to more awesome 4Runner videos! Thanks again.
You're very welcome. Thanks for the nice compliment. I appreciate it. Have fun with your 3rd Gen. We'll have more content coming out over the years.
Cannot wait! I can’t put a price on the value you’ve provided me in my mechanical success with my THREE 4Runners! Seriously, I appreciate your effort with all of the work that goes into this, I know it is a lot! Can’t wait for more videos! Great areas to live here on SC!
Hey Tyler, it's great to know our videos have helped you out with your 3 4runners. Thanks for letting us know you appreciate our channel. More good stuff is coming. Happy Wrenching!
Awesome news! I'm excited about the future.
Thanks! More Sic Content will be coming your way. Stay tuned!
I thought you were retiring from RUclips and never watched the video until now and thought damn. Thanks for the great videos!
Yeah, this was our first and only clickbait video. A lot of people thought the same thing. I'm going nowhere. I'll be making videos for a long time to come.
I think my 98 Tacoma is on the road partly in thanks to your videos! Thank you Tim and enjoy your retirement!
It's great to know our videos have helped you keep your 1st Gen Tacoma on the roads and trails. You're very welcome and I do plan on enjoying my retirement. Happy Wrenching!
Congratulations. Found you and subd from your 22RE vids. Would love any more of that you care to do. Enjoy your channel and the way you do it.
Thanks! I'm sure we'll come up with more videos for the 22RE as time goes on.
Thanks for the great service to your, and the 4runner community and good luck for your retirement. I hope you are saving all these videos to another secure location in case youtube... you know what they are capable of...
Thanks. You make a valid point about RUclips.
Congrats, Timmy, and thank you for your service! That will be awesome if you can find a place with more space and a lift. I will say it has been extra helpful to watch you do the jobs (and teaching us) the way most of us have to do it - with a jack and jack stands. But I totally get it - I'm feeling it in these old bones more and more as I crawl under my Yotas.
Thanks! I will definitely come up with a more peaceful and usable place to live. I'm looking forward to it!
Thank you Timmy for all the videos and knowledge, I wouldn’t have the confidence I have now to work on my 4Runner if it wasn’t for you and your thorough videos and advice. I wish all the best to you and look forward to seeing your future videos and adventures! Happy Retirement!!!!
You're very welcome. It's great to know our videos gave you the confidence to turn wrenches on your rig. Thank you!
Congrats, Timmy! The title had a lot of us worried! Retirement Beer bought - everyone who is able should use the PP link above!
Thanks James. We did our first and only clickbait title. It was fun reading the responses. Thanks for the beers and the support for what we do.
Congratulations on your retirement. Your videos are great. I use them frequently.
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment of our work.
You’ve saved me so much money and given me a lot of knowledge on my 4Runner. Thanks for all you do!
Hey John, it's great to know our videos have enabled you to save a lot of money turning your own wrenches. You're very welcome!
Ff here. Son of a retired ff.
Owner of a 96 4Runner Limited and 2014 Sequoia Platinum. Your videos just happened to be for a vehicle I bought and I thought it was a true blessing to have that align. Thanks BROTHERRRRRRR

Thanks Mike! I definitely plan on enjoying the time I have left. There will be plenty more Sic Mods coming down the pipe.
YAY!! Congrats on making it to retirement. You’ve been a huge help to me in the past with my first gen Tacoma, and now I have a low mileage gen 1 Tundra… mostly because of you. 🤘🏼🤘🏼 Rock on, Timmy!!!
Thanks Todd. It's great to know our channel has helped you out with both your trucks. Happy Wrenching!
Congratulations and thank you for your service Tim looking forward for your new chapter of your life and videos keep them coming bruh.
Thanks Ray! Sean and I will definitely keep the Timmy the Toolman Video Train rolling down the tracks.
I avoided watching this not knowing that you were retiring from your day job. I'm happy that you'll still be creating content for this community and thank you for putting in 30 years of service work
Thanks for commenting. I appreciate what you said. And yeah, I'm going nowhere in regards to running this channel with Sean. I enjoy it too much to quit.
@@TimmyTheToolman I’m crossing my fingers that you’ll find property within driving distance of me (socal) I’m looking for a 3rd gen 4runner or older taco for my daughter’s first truck and i have all these videos from you to reference now.
@@DuanDao If I stay in California, it will be NorCal for sure. I'm considering moving out of state though.
@@TimmyTheToolman the world is your oyster young man!!
Thanks so much for what you do and your bio!!!
You're very welcome. Thanks!
You have helped me so much. I really appreciate it.
No problem, Steve. I'm happy to know our channel has helped you out a lot.
Congrats Tim. Enjoy the channel. I’m in California as well. Probably bugging out in a couple years. Getting crazy. I will miss our mountains. Did the skyline to sea backpacking trip with my son when he was a Boy Scout, what a beautiful hike. Glad your still doing content, my 97; 94 and 86 4Runners thank you
Thanks. Where do you think you'll relocate to. I still haven't figured out if I'll stay in California or leave for another state. It's a hard decision because California has everything I love.
Thank you for your bravery and service.
Thanks Andy!
