Originally, Gettin Junk Done was started with the intention of making a few simple How-To videos mostly dealing with my truck and motorcycle. Once I saw that a few of my uploads were doing well, I decided to continue with additional videos as projects came up. To me, I was just maintaining my own vehicles and making the occasional video along the way. I firmly believe that anyone can pick up a wrench and fix a piece of junk, thus the phrase “Get Some Junk Done” took on a life of its own for me over time.

It turns out that working on my truck and motorcycle is just a hobby for me and I am actually a high school chemistry teacher. As the channel grew I began incorporating Chemistry Lessons and Gettin Junk Done took on a new meaning. Currently “Gettin Junk Down” refers to any project I find myself wrapped up in, including my everyday work as a chemistry teacher. My teaching style is a casual, everyday approach to the material that lends to the struggling student, as is hopefully obvious in my video.

Hopefully Gettin Junk Done will continue to grow and gain more subscribers and viewers. In the meantime, I encourage you all to Get Some Junk Done.

Thank you, Joe. The best video on the subject, hands down. Good, timely and concise advice. My Corolla is alive again! The only difference was that the wire to the radiator fan was attached to the housing by two plastic clips that I managed to remove and I left the 2nd bolt in place so I wouldn't have to fish for the hole. Saved over $40 on the part vs. a local store plus, of course, the labor. Thanks again.

What symptoms led you to replace the starter. I have a 2003 when I turn the key I get nothing but lights on the dash

Ray Klast says:

Thanks, helped me find the second bolt and replace my starter, first time I have ever made a car repair like this. Just the video I needed.

Ben Lawson says:

+Cat G yes as long as it is AWD 1u engine it is the exact same

Josh Stevenson says:

Thank for the video. Quality and concise. 2nd video I found and better of the 2

Cat G says:

Is this similar to a base model 2004?
