    K20-HUR11 for me.. cheap and readily available. My Tacoma really didn't like iridium for whatever reason and ran like crap when I tried them a few years ago.

    V6 only took me 10-15 minutes at most. And most of it was me sitting there checking the gaps/comparing with new and taking pictures of the old ones.

    I posted this picture before but here's a 100,000+ mile plug with a gap of .061-.063...

    Nice! Gaps like those are exactly how ignition coils burn out and go defective early. I'm not giving you a hard time about your post BTW (but I could, lol).

    No worries, just a learning moment for anyone that stumbles across this thread!

    I beat myself up already lol I practically refreshed my entire truck and saw the spark plugs in my Amazon list... Way at the bottom :oops::D probably the easiest maintenance item that can be done too... :crapstorm:

    Just changed the copper plugs. 30K interval, 120K on the 4.0L. They looked great. Cheap and easy to replace. Good time to clean the throttle body and maf sensor.
