    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Denso or NGK, your engine came with both from the factory, literally, it came with three Densos and three NGKs. NGK will recommend the right one on its web page, and Denso you can just ask the service guy at Toyota. But I wouldn't deviate from those two choices.

    I've had bad luck with plugs bought from auto part stores. I only buy from Toyota now.

    Sounds like what my truck was doing when the plugs were worn. You want the NGK or Denso which look like this...

    If the cathode is burned to a nub you will get serious balking and stuttering on hill climbs and gear changes.

    Thanks, it's the CBI Moab 1.0 DIY kit. I got tabs welded on the inside to put two led spots in the triangles too.

    I've got a set of OEM plugs and wires waiting to be installed. OEM plugs cost me $13.56 FYI.

    I hate to tell you this, but it looks like you got screwed out of a rhino line job. They charged you a premium price to coat your truck in mud!

    Hmmm! That rust doesn't look too good and that's surface rust on front I wanna know what the rear of the frame looks like! But it's a decent truck for a decent price!

    For iridium plugs it's 30K. I believe normal spark plugs can last 15K but I could be wrong

    Dang that frequently? I've never replaced them, and I'm not even sure if the previous owner did....
