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 👍🏽
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!
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 UA-cam.
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!
Tom, I mean this as a compliment, you are the Bob Ross of automotive UA-camrs. You evoke the same mellow vibe while teaching something incredibly difficult yet making it look easy.
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
@@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.
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
I didn't realize that you had started posting again until I saw your comment on jafro's channel (you know how sketchy the UA-cam algorithm is). All caught up now and looking forward to the next one!
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!
Huh... My 98 Tacoma has the same layout of lighter plugs. I always thought they were added after the fact as I had never seen another like it, but yours is the spitting image.
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
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
OH. MY. FIREBALL. Thanks for finally coming back! I think a transbrake so you can build some boost for launching would make that thing leave like squirrel that just stepped on a barbeque.
Good to see you back. Don't worry about the front brakes. All the braking power in the world will just hold the front tires still while they slide through the lights. You need a trans-brake and matching rev limiter.
I miss this channel. It was one of my favorites.
Does anyone know what happened? Why he stopped? Is he ok? Tom, are you ok? :)
HE’S BACK!! And all was right in the world , yet again….
Wish I could double like this comment!
Right!! So back!
Is he back?
And then no one has seen him for a year as of this point in time
And he's gone again
We need Turbo Tom's garage back! I love your attention to detail, and humour. Especially now, during these trying times. 😭
We need you back!
We need our hero
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 👍🏽
Holy crap, He's back! ive been missing the insane attention to detail!
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!
I hope Tom is Ok. Haven't heard from him in a year!
Agreed this channel crossed my mind
TOM, I miss your videos!!! Come back!!!!
I was literally just frickin thinking about this truck like not even 10 minutes ago!! Holy cow!
I think about Tom all the time. It's actually becoming a problem...
Truck is super clean in person too!
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?
just thought about Tom like 2 days ago when I was bored browsing the tube.
@@juanesquivel9293 Just thought about the channel today. A year after the Tesla destroyed the channel.
Thank you!

Any word on Tom?
@@deiselpower I've been asking for years now. No word. I'd like to know
Same. I've been commenting for at least 4 years asking if he's okay & nobody responds
Missed you Tom. Hope all is well and looking forward to more builds!
Hey Tom, doing my annual check to see how your doing, hope you and yours are well man.
Where'd you go Tom!?
i miss this channel too
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!
What truck? Did he sell the v8 swapped toyota pickup?
FINALLY! My favourite youtube channel has uploaded another video!!!!
Tom it’s been a year and we miss your videos.
We miss you tom !!! Damn 1 year !
Awesome to see one of your videos assassin!
glad to see a new video from you
Comes back after a year like he was never gone.
I miss turbo Tom! His videos remind me of the ones I used to see on the Speed Channel a decade ago.
Bravo! That Odyssey ran a 10:40 @ 70.74 mph.
Clicked it as soon as i saw it! My perfect morningvideo! Coffee and cars!
Welcome back!
Miss ya Tom!
Holy Moly, new Turbo Tom?????? 2021 has been saved!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Tom, I mean this as a compliment, you are the Bob Ross of automotive UA-camrs. You evoke the same mellow vibe while teaching something incredibly difficult yet making it look easy.
Its good to see you back tom hope you are well
HOOOLAAAAY! Ready to rock again! Sweet!
Tom we missed you!
Been dreaming of a follow-up. Not disappointed.
Tom, Jafro and deboss are the most underrated channels on UA-cam.
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

Underrated? Zero videos in the last year. That seems overrated to me but whatevs.
@@eriklarson9137 my comment is from a year ago…
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!
Ground control to turbo Tom.
Lol good one
HE HAS RETURNED!! LIGHT THE BEACONS OF Amon Dîn!!!
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
Been bench REWATCHING all the fire bolt episodes to help me with my LS b2200 swap so I literally spit my food out in excitement when I saw this!!!
We missed you Tom! Cheers from Buenos Aires!
Thank you for this video. Welcome back.
Great to see an update on the truck.
I didn't realize that you had started posting again until I saw your comment on jafro's channel (you know how sketchy the UA-cam algorithm is). All caught up now and looking forward to the next one!
Wholly forever I waited
Missed you guy. Good to see the truck working well.
THE LEGEND IS BACK!!!!!!!
lol, "wife cam" and the associated notes for it... Brave Tom, brave :D
Glad to get content from ya, sir!!
Can't believe I've been watching since the four door sleeper 7 years ago, glad you're back!
Wife cam is all over the place... LoL. What a great time, thank you for sharing.
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!
lol, he definitely makes money from this
@@mrb2917 To clarify, he doesn't turn a profit, especially considering time spent. His day job pays the bills.
OMG! I thought You would have closed this channel and so happy yo know You are ok
Yesss! Been waiting for updates on the projects and cars.
Time really flies by fast, I never thought that a year passed already from the last one
This was nice surprise! Don't know how i missed this. Happened to see this in my recommended videos, "uploaded week ago". Truck was fast! THANK YOU!
Im a simple man, I see Tom release a video, and I click like before watching it.
Is Tom still alive? It’s been two years
Welcome back. Always nice to see what you have been up to. ^^
Crazy to think I've been watching you for over 10 years. Thanks for the update
*Please build another project! We miss you Tom!*
Come back Tom!
I've missed your videos! The perfectionism, the careful filming of little details, the dad jokes . . . cheers!
Huh... My 98 Tacoma has the same layout of lighter plugs. I always thought they were added after the fact as I had never seen another like it, but yours is the spitting image.
Very cool, Tom! See you next year!
So excited to see an update! Glad to hear Firebolt has been a reliable truck. She has real street credentials now.
Your content is always top notch. I watched every one of your vids while recovering from surgeries. Miss the VR4
Another channel I liked watching that went silent then suddenly came back to life. Been missing this project.
And back to silent.
@@sierravmax yeah wtf
Clicked the video without looking at who uploaded it, glad to see you still make content!!
Thanks Tom. A great way to start celebrating the 4th.
I responded to Tom on a whistlindiesel vid the other day saying I missed his videos!
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
Yes!!! Mitch and little Mitch wrenching on the taco. Glad you and the family are good.
He has returned!!!!!
I miss this channel! Hope all is well!
Glad to see you back! Keep seeing you pop up in comments for other UA-camrs!
Same here. I was hoping he’d make some content soon! Glad to see him back. Let’s get to work!
God bless you and your family, Tom. Welcome back!
I miss your videos. They were entertaining, and everything you did was done with perfection.
Glad you have appeared again, awesome video. Love from Scotland
Tom come back!!! You can blame it all on me!! UA-cam is dry and I can’t live without you. Lol idk the rest of the song someone help me out. 😂
The Taco's gonna be a beast with some beefier front brakes, can't wait to see!!!
Welcome back old UA-cam friend!
Tom!
Glad you are back!

Timely video release. Thanks for the update. We love this thing!
I was thinking something happened and we wouldn't see this truck ever again. Glad all is well
FINALLY A TRACK DAY! Even though it's not really purpose built for that. Glad to finally see an update
Happy to have you back
I speak for many here when i say we missed you guy!!!The buckie kicks some searious a$$
Glad to see you back.That truck is amazing
Im from Dubai, we don't get tacomas here, but that steering wheel took me back to good times
Great to see you come back. Now more builds!

Glad to see you back Tom!
Good to see you Mitch.
AHhhhhh. The Joy I feel when I see you upload Tom!
