Hey that’s really nice! I appreciate the kind words!

I like your channel! it's interesting to see your thought process when you rebuild a used truck and where you choose to put the money and which components problems you adress. You cover the basics very well with the actual cost of materials and for most of us, it is quite informative. Sure those higher end channels that shows some crazy 300 000$ truck build are nice to watch but when it comes to realistic DIY mods and repairs, your channel come out on top for sure! Keep posting videos!

maybe D-class by YT metrics but AAA-class in content. you're the fucking man Mike. i wish i could pull my IFS apart that fast...

Great job Mikey Mike. I had a couple of Tacos just like this. Yes tons spent on IFS that all was had me wanting more.... Switched to a solid axle 4Runner and loving it. Your vids rock man!! You rock. Keep the vids coming.

It’s always a good day when you upload a new video

Keep up the good work! My 6yr old son and I enjoy your content

Dude just keep doing what you're doing. It's awesome. Towards the end of my 1st gen's life I was replacing lower control arms every 6 months. Bushings would get shot running no sway bar. This video gives me ptsd 😅😅😅.

Man, love watching you work on these Toyotas that you have had. Keep it up love your skills.

Honestly keep doing what you're doing, love the content, and love your transperancy. On another note, I'm so impressed with how well you cleaned this up, and used what was good, and replaced what was bad, excellent work!

Man, I love what you’re doing with the channel. Real builds. Real shop life. Keep it up dude. One day in the not too distant future you’ll be able to do those crazy projects.

This channel is way too underrated

Bro I love your channel, super relatable and fun to watch

This channel should be so much bigger. Literally the only channel I get excited about anymore

I feel like I’m the same way. Anytime I go in to swap a couple parts in the front end, I pretty much just rebuild the entire thing. Great video Mike, love the content!

Whenever my eye twitches for a few days at a time, I eat a banana. Was told it could be from bad sleep too. You did a neat job under that front end. Also cheers on the miller m8

Love it man! Nice work, that thing is cleaning up nice. I've got an FJ cruiser to do the same to. It gets pricey quick with the toyota front end maintenance.

I see you are a fellow man of culture. *points at dented ass truck with clapped out suspension* "It's a clean truck for the most part, just needs a few touches". I like it.

Personally I much prefer the more “budget friendly” builds and stuff. Great video as always

As always excellent video Mike, By far one of the best turd polishers on the tube. D channel nah, at least a strong B. Keep em coming for us. Very good content 🍻🇺🇸

Hell yeah brother making a video as we speak on the front suspension. The subscribers struggle is real! Perusing that 1k mark! Keep up the good work! Cheers from NBVC!

Sticking along friend.

Bro i love watching you polish turds. Super satisfying awesome content. No recommendations for the truck really just seeing it come back to life is cool in its self.

My favorite channel by far just keepin it real 🤙 appreciate the post brother

Great videos man😂so excited for this build😎

I know nothing about trucks or off-roading. I dont even have a truck. But i really enjoy watching these builds. Glad u picked up another tacoma :D

I love these vids! Ballin’ on a budget, polishing turds of trucks like a regular Joe would be doing. Nice to see! Keep up the good work!

It’s really difficult to make money on trucks when you’re doing it right, that’s why flippers exist. Congrats on reviving this truck, but was pretty rough to start. However being on the East Coast people are asking that for trucks of rotten frames.
