Why do they run half and half than?

 

?

 

If its your first time changeing the plugs, you will notice that the Driver Side has NGK, and the passenger has Denso Plugs. Toyota has been doing this for eons, and I really cant confirm why they do this. Useing 6 Denso plugs is what I recomend.

 

There's also lots of reports that the gaps are not set to the factory spec and some have reported a different gap on EACH PLUG.

 

and on anudder note, the sun is shinin and imma gunna cook me some skrimp on the grill!!! albeit in the dark

 

Never heard of toyota, or any auto manufacturer, using 1 brand of plug on one bank and a different brand of spark plug on the other bank. I know that Toyota recommends Denson U Groove plugs on 3.4L's, all 6. Not sure about the 4.0's.

 

Thats what they did with the 4.0

Its insane to wrap your head around, i know. It is for me too

 

Yeah, was at 105k when I changed them, was a bitch to get them out too. And that is the truth, Toyota uses Denso on the drivers side nd NGK on the other, my guess is they have a shit ton of NGK plugs left from another model and are using them up

This^ denso plugs are the factory plugs, they are fine unless your boosted. It will take you about 1.5 hours to do all six, and I highly recommend having a pair of needle nose pliers for helping the coil pack connectors come loose, as the ones back my the firewall are a bitch to get unplugged

Nice I thought about taking iced over pics but at 5am it was to dark

 

What should you run if your boosted?

 

Also will normal needle nose pliers work or do you need the extended ones?

 

Ask @Torspd lol

 

Chip not sure if your interested because of the distance but when your ready to do your plugs your more than welcome to use a bay at my work on a Sat. or Sun. It's heated and has a lift and i have a estimated $40k in tools at your disposal. Shop is in Canton, near Fells Point. Let me know, i'll wrench on my 4runner.

 

That's very nice!

 

Well after the second taillight replacement came with the same markings I'm afraid this is just how they are made...



So I ordered these instead

 

I would love to host a mod meet at my work but i'm not sure what my boss would say if i had a bunch of people there at one time.

 

Sweet deal man. As long as no one tries to bust my window in fells point we'll be good haha.

 

Sounds like good free advertisement. Word of mouth goes along way.

 

That guy did panic though.... He should have nudged the car in front of him not slam into it. Than flooring it in reverse was another mistake, driving up the side walk was about the smartest thing he did besides stopping a few blocks away and contacting the police.
