We bought the tool set for 1st gen sequoia (bought on eBay didn’t know about his email). We live in Canada and with currency exchange and shipping it was an investment. We live 30 min from the border though so had it shipped usa side and picked up. The quality was amazing! We ended up having a mechanic do the work though and so he was happy to buy that took off of us. Duane’s done and amazing job with the creation of these tools. Oh and your video was great to understand the process for doing the job! You especially made a point of keeping track of placement and that helped us to pass that on to the mechanic since this was his first Toyota specific rear bearing job
Yes, Duane makes very nice tools. I'm happy to know the knowledge we shared in our video helped your mechanic do the job properly for you. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks Timmy, I just wrote Duane. Hi Duane, Timmy sent me. I’ve done axles on my gen3 4runner 2 times. The first time I used different shims/blocks with the press and managed it. Friend said “you can do it!” I guess he didn’t want to! Haha. Tricky but doable. I was smarter the 2nd time and had my welder/fabricator son-in-law make a tool for me. MUCH easier!. So I’m thinking I may be even smarter now! Buying a tool from you is gonna make me a genius! Haha. We just bought a 2002 Sequoia with 125k. Hoping it will be awhile. I have 2 gen3 4runner and may buy more! Keepum running for the rest of my days to avoid modern bs crappy over complicated and expensive repairs and auto shop rip offs! With the price of new autos I think it may be a strategic investment to fund my retirement to start hoarding older Toyotas! Haha How much for the full package? Thanks Sean
@Ashoud_Anobetah Definitely WAY easier to buy Duane's toolset. When you look at the machining that goes into these tools, you're getting a lot for your money.
Bought the 3rd gen tool set and a Harbor freight press. Only used the tool's once. The savings in labor and knowing it was done right more than paid for the tool set and press. Sometimes the press Will be collecting dust. But when you need it nothing else takes its place. Good investment.
Absolutely Steve. Dealerships and private shop labor rates are astronomically high. I actually paid for a rear axle bearing/seal job on my 3rd Gen 4runner around 9 years ago. It cost me $1500 and that's when their labor rate was $150/hour. Now their labor rate is $300/hour. And, they botched the job. I had to go back and school the mechanic on how to do it right. It was that bad experience that got me off my butt and start doing most of my own automotive work and I never looked back.
I did the same a few years ago. That was a very rewarding job to do right, so I completely agree. Then this year, I did a wheel bearing and UCA/LCA bushings and the press paid for itself a couple more times. It may collect dust most of the time, but when it's needed, it really shines
@@kiloyardstare He did paint his tools red at one point, but now they are all blue. If you go back in your purchase history and tell me what seller you bought from, I could tell you if you got a toolset from Duane.
Where i live, everyone is a cheap fuck and don't get their vehicles repaired. I bought the 3rd gen set and used it once and it's sitting in my garage untouched since i did the job years ago and got rid of the 3rd gen.
I bought a set for my 2004 Tundra....EXCELLENT tools!
Good job!
ABSOLUTELY support Duane!! Love his tools! Click buy now and quit screwing around hacking up axle housings.
Well said kind sir! Thank you 🙏🏼
I took your advice last year and bought from Duane. It’s a serious tool. Will last a lifetime!
@@richardsauer599 Thanks for buying from Duane Richard.

Great product. Already bought one of these. Thanks Timmy
Definitely a great product. You were smart to get one.
Duane makes great stuff
Yes he does.
I bought this tool to use on a T100 and it made the job super easy to do. It almost made me feel like I did something wrong!
@@porygon214 Yep, the right tools make the job way easier to accomplish.
Thanks Timmy, I just wrote Duane.

You’re making a smart decision. Get em’ while they are hot! (They will arrive at room temperature when you receive them in the mail)
Thanks for the vid Tim, I was planning on building one but its way easier to just buy this
@Ashoud_Anobetah Definitely WAY easier to buy Duane's toolset. When you look at the machining that goes into these tools, you're getting a lot for your money.
Great explication. I will like to see the tool in action.👍👍

The garage space is different now, did you move or in someone else's garage.
This is Sean's new place. He bought a house with his wife. He's all grown up now.
@@TimmyTheToolman 👍congrats Sean and wife
I love mine! Highly recommended. It pays itself off the first time!!!
Appreciate the comment Mr. NU! What’s your next Toyota project?

I bought a red version of this tool years ago. I wonder if I got a cheap copy...

@@oldz70 If you don't think you'll ever use the toolset again, sell it on Facebook Market Place or Craigslist.
