    He's independent. His videos mostly use 4Runners as examples. 4Runners and Tacos are so very close mechanically. I could be wrong, but I get the impression that he is a retired firefighter or procedural trainer that enjoys making Toyota training videos.

    I'm still a working firefighter. I also had zero experience making training videos or DIY videos before launching the YouTube channel I started with my friend Sean. Sean and I just wanted to help people out and decided to put some time into making videos people could use. The whole idea is to empower people to handle their own automotive work to learn a valuable skill and save a bunch of money in the process. It's great to hear people like the videos we make. I never get tired of hearing people's success stories using our videos. Thanks for the kind words! Happy Wrenching Fellars!

    The cam seals )plugs), half moons, and gasket maker were OEM. The other parts were good quality. I had no hesitations installing them. The intake gaskets looked just like OEM. The VC gaskets were slightly different, but fit perfectly and I have no leaks.

    Damn. I wasn't too far off. We appreciate all you do for us on TW and in your profession. I have two sons who are firefighters/first responders. I must have picked up on it. :thumbsup:
