    I ran 15psi in my tires on my method 301's and didn't have any issues. Unless you plan on doing some hardcore stuff like Eric said, I doubt it'll be worth it to go with real beadlocks. If you like the look many rims includeding TRD have the bead lock look.

    x3. I changed mine the first time at 48K miles and they still looked almost new. That leads me to also believe those were never changed (in addition to the NGK/Denso mix you have there). Not sure about other dealerships, but you can't get both brands at mine. They only carry the Denso (and I think that's common among all of them to carry only one of the two...why carry two brands of the same thing?).

    The coil packs have blue service markings on them and each plug had locktite on them, as if they had been serviced before. I figured if the dealer had performed the 30k service that they would replace the plugs with the NGK and Denso plugs (as it would have come stock). I just went with the Denso for all 6 like most people do. Either way, I'm glad I changed them out.

    As I mentioned previusly to MJ's post, there are indications that lead me to belive that the 30k service MIGHT have been done (I cannot confirm this).

    QUESTION:

    Do you guys think the dealer would replace the plugs along the same lines as the factory with 3 NGK and 3 Denso plugs?


    I feel bad for my poor little Tacoma if it really had to chug along with the same plugs for 90k, but it's a great testament to the parts quality and reliability of our trucks and Totyota in general.

    At my dealership they only offer the Denso plugs. I believe it was $27 OTD for 6.

    Is that the one off Hegenberger? I might stop by after work.

    I think I want to change my plugs soon. I have ~60k on my irridiums. They say they're suppose to last 100k, but I tow a good amount and wheel time to time.

    Hey Jay,

    I got mine off of Amazon. I had some text book trade-in gift card balance and I used that to get my AEM dryflow, arm & hammer cabin filter, 6 denso plugs, and a tube of anti-seize. I think the plugs were around 5 bucks a piece. I'm sure you could get a better deal locally, I would price check the dealer and O'reillys.

    The rain was sure crappy today! I work outside so it blows. Now when I'm home and it's raining I love it, nice and comphy! Good wheeling or looking for puddles. Todd road in Santa Rosa usually floods with a lot of rain and I like driving through it and blowing some water out of the fenders!! Anyone else have any local roads that flood with a good amount of rain?
