LSX V8 Turbo Tacoma - Project Firebolt Part 16

[@JeremyinCars]

I miss this channel. It was one of my favorites.

[@SunshineAndBass]

Does anyone know what happened? Why he stopped? Is he ok? Tom, are you ok? :)

[@ifgezroxy]

We need Turbo Tom's garage back! I love your attention to detail, and humour. Especially now, during these trying times. 😭

[@All2Skitzd]

We need you back!

[@pauldulworth2768]

HE’S BACK!! And all was right in the world , yet again….

[@philliplarocque9328]

Wish I could double like this comment!

[@eriklarson9137]

Right!! So back!

[@eriklarson9137]

Is he back?

[@removeableskull7446]

And then no one has seen him for a year as of this point in time

[@gsppuffer]

And he's gone again

[@mrsam5350]

Hey Tom, I hope you and the family are well. It's been a while, myself and so many others I'm sure are wondering how you are. Look forward to an update maybe. Keep well & God Bless 👍🏽

[@gabe1244]

We need our hero

[@h3llb1lly889]

Holy crap, He's back! ive been missing the insane attention to detail!

[@scottc78]

I love to get updates on this build, even if it's just "hey guys, I filled the washer fluid and adjusted my seat". Can't wait to see what that beast can do with upgraded brakes or, dare I say it, a line lock?! I'm already excited for part 17!

[@ivanlinero3101]

TOM, I miss your videos!!! Come back!!!!

[@RalphsGarage]

Where'd you go Tom!?

[@rushwal]

I hope Tom is Ok. Haven't heard from him in a year!

[@Jimbo-SliceGJL]

Agreed this channel crossed my mind

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

Missed you Tom. Hope all is well and looking forward to more builds!

[@gothridercreations]

Hey Tom, doing my annual check to see how your doing, hope you and yours are well man.

[@husky701rider9]

Tom it’s been a year and we miss your videos.

[@Jlparris20]

Awesome to see one of your videos assassin!

[@J11P338E]

Thank you!

[@livinonlimiter]

I was literally just frickin thinking about this truck like not even 10 minutes ago!! Holy cow!

[@StingrayOfficial]

I think about Tom all the time. It's actually becoming a problem...

[@lsxshtbox8432]

Truck is super clean in person too!

[@StreetMachine18]

i was on a road trip 2 weeks ago going thru CT VT Mass, i saw a red tacoma and thought hmmm, i wonder how turbo Tom is doing?

[@juanesquivel9293]

just thought about Tom like 2 days ago when I was bored browsing the tube.

[@eriklarson9137]

@@juanesquivel9293 Just thought about the channel today. A year after the Tesla destroyed the channel.

[@amierulammar8473]

We miss you tom !!! Damn 1 year !

[@zishaanamar6709]

i miss this channel too

[@mrjockey87]

Clicked it as soon as i saw it! My perfect morningvideo! Coffee and cars!

[@davisharr]

FINALLY! My favourite youtube channel has uploaded another video!!!!

[@aerosaaber]

glad to see a new video from you

[@gsmecanica]

We missed you Tom! Cheers from Buenos Aires!

[@itsjussjerry]

I miss turbo Tom! His videos remind me of the ones I used to see on the Speed Channel a decade ago.

[@BPBomber]

Tom, I mean this as a compliment, you are the Bob Ross of automotive KZbinrs. You evoke the same mellow vibe while teaching something incredibly difficult yet making it look easy.

[@albonfilms]

Holy Moly, new Turbo Tom?????? 2021 has been saved!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@mini696]

Comes back after a year like he was never gone.

[@shadowred1980]

Great to see an update on the truck.

[@estewar03]

Tom, I came back to say PLEASE come back or at least put something up letting us know you're okay & that you're no longer going to be uploading any longer for personal reasons or whatever the case may be. I've read through a bunch of the most recent comments & there are countless people just like me that value & miss you... and torch. Don't leave us long time subscribers hanging bro. Your content was worth watching amongst the millions upon MILLIONS of automotive videos on KZbin.

[@deiselpower]

Any word on Tom?

[@estewar03]

@@deiselpower I've been asking for years now. No word. I'd like to know

[@estewar03]

Same. I've been commenting for at least 4 years asking if he's okay & nobody responds

[@northeastrc2725]

Its good to see you back tom hope you are well

[@grayfool]

Missed you guy. Good to see the truck working well.

[@wiztard_]

in case anyone was wondering, tom posted on facebook on july 7th 2024 about a truck for sale and said he misses making videos! good news that he is at least doing ok!

[@ImSrry4BeingWhite]

What truck? Did he sell the v8 swapped toyota pickup?

[@iNFECTED_pIE]

Miss ya Tom!

[@ThePete2432]

Is Tom still alive? It’s been two years

[@paulramsey5695]

I was up there at the track that night truck ran pretty good was really surprised that it has a turbo ls in it this is the first I'm finding of this channel

[@andyoverall1951]

I didn't realize that you had started posting again until I saw your comment on jafro's channel (you know how sketchy the KZbin algorithm is). All caught up now and looking forward to the next one!

[@scot0151]

Bravo! That Odyssey ran a 10:40 @ 70.74 mph.

[@dblbassted]

Glad to get content from ya, sir!!

[@vividvulpe9842]

The consistency in your truck's performance goes to show how wonderfully well built your cars are, Tom! Nice to have you back for a video- thanks!

[@Sleepy_Otter]

I've missed your videos! The perfectionism, the careful filming of little details, the dad jokes . . . cheers!

[@Horton91]

Crazy to think I've been watching you for over 10 years. Thanks for the update

[@WilliamDye-willdye]

I also work in the medical industry, so I understand that you've had other stuff to do. No pressure about posting more. You don't make money off YT, so it's a gift to us. All that being said... SOOOO GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN!

[@mrb2917]

lol, he definitely makes money from this

[@WilliamDye-willdye]

@@mrb2917 To clarify, he doesn't turn a profit, especially considering time spent. His day job pays the bills.

[@CoffeemanCC]

Welcome back!

[@CanadaBud23]

HOOOLAAAAY! Ready to rock again! Sweet!

[@6speeddakota]

I’ve always loved how well laid out and organized your garage and equipment is. I wish I had a little more space than my townhouse garage so everything isn’t so bunched up in there

[@robertjohnson884]

Yes!!! Mitch and little Mitch wrenching on the taco. Glad you and the family are good.

[@Super_64]

Tom, Jafro and deboss are the most underrated channels on KZbin.

[@goodfellasinc.5648]

How dare you put Tom in the same sentence as deboss Tom has intelligence smart and he's housebroken used to indoor plumbing and while you know there's deboss lol I'm just saying Tom has way more fabrication and get the job done right skills

[@Super_64]

@@goodfellasinc.5648 rich deals with diesels… diesels are dirty… diesels get the job done regardless… I still stand by my statement. Obviously you aren’t aware of the f three kitty build on deboss or his Silverado… And I’m not putting them in the same category… they are different people and I love their builds all in their own way… they are all smart and intelligent. We don’t need negative comments downing people in the automotive community like yours.

[@eriklarson9137]

Underrated? Zero videos in the last year. That seems overrated to me but whatevs.

Come back Tom!

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

So excited to see an update! Glad to hear Firebolt has been a reliable truck. She has real street credentials now.

[@capnthepeafarmer]

HE HAS RETURNED!! LIGHT THE BEACONS OF Amon Dîn!!!

[@ivymike83]

lol, "wife cam" and the associated notes for it... Brave Tom, brave :D

[@Franface31]

Very cool, Tom! See you next year!

Been dreaming of a follow-up. Not disappointed.

Your content is always top notch. I watched every one of your vids while recovering from surgeries. Miss the VR4

Great to see you Tom. Nice runs at the track 👍👍👍

So much for sleep... welcome back!

[@stuardoruano5776]

OMG! I thought You would have closed this channel and so happy yo know You are ok

[@sarahdell4042]

I miss this channel! Hope all is well!

[@papajon-1000]

Tom! Glad you are back! Look into the sloppy 3rd gear “spool” mod. It puts the truck in 3rd gear and puts more load on the engine. Plus without it having the gear reduction, the brakes can hold it back better

[@jerryzedler1440]

Such a nice build!!! Love Firebolt.

[@bennyking572]

Glad you have appeared again, awesome video. Love from Scotland

[@907nttf]

I miss your videos. They were entertaining, and everything you did was done with perfection.

[@pgrens]

The Taco's gonna be a beast with some beefier front brakes, can't wait to see!!!

[@DStabs720]

I responded to Tom on a whistlindiesel vid the other day saying I missed his videos!

Love your content man! Would love to see more.
