Thank you guys! I looked at the wrong (4th gen) manual, my 5th gen manual shows the same as FoxtrotRomeo, sorry for the confusion. Looks to be iridium plugs, so no need to change for a while like you all commented. Thanks again guys!

Thank you for your reply/advice. Do you know if they're Denso copper plugs or iridium? I had a 4th generation in the past, and the manual indicates the same Denso(NGK) copper plugs K20HR-U11 as the 4th gen.

I have a 2021 4R Premium TRD Off Road. Please let me know if this year/trim originally came with Denso copper spark plugs or a iridium plugs? I'm at the mileage of 38K and wanted to know if it's time to replace or still good to for another 45-50K. Thank you.

Thank you for your input/comments. Yes, I agree about the max speed when shifting to 4H from 2H. But I never seem to get a clear answer on the max speed driving on 4H. Furthermore, I get more comments that I shouldn't drive on wet surface. All my other 4WD Toyotas driven in Japan...

What is the max speed driving on 4H 4wd? I heard the max speed on 4H for the new 5th generation 4R is 60mph. I live in Seattle which "rains a lot" and I often used to drive my old '08 4R SE on a wet surface freeway up to 75mph and never had any issues while owning the 4R. Of course the main...

I have an 2008 V6 SE in Seattle. I've never gas charged my AC and fortunately my AC has been fine as Seattle doesn't get too hot during the summer months. It's still blowing cold air. However, do you guys recommend charging the AC regardless after so many years..? My estimate was $129.95...

I believe I have the same popping noise coming from lower part of my dash... I have a 08 Sports ED. Were you able to find and resolve this popping sound? The message was nearly 10 years ago and links are no longer available. Hope you may remember and thank you in advance.

Thank you for your feedback/comments. I've heard there's been issues about a clicking noise(ac door actuator?) from the vent, but this is a light pop sound like flicking a cardboard or a plastic lid of a can. I'll make sure later tonight by putting on the A/C since it's be several months when...

I have 08 SE and been hearing a tapping sound from lower side of the dash(somewhere below the steering column, pedal, or door speaker on the bottom corner). Its not a clicking sound from the vent, but really sound like a tapping of a plastic or cardboard. (one pop sound like from a top plastic...

Cooper Discoverer AT3 Thanks for your input Tim. I noticed there's a lot of good things said about the Cooper Discoverer AT3. I'm basically narrowed down to these Cooper AT3, BFG Rugged Terrain, and Bridgestone Revo. They all seem to do well in rain & prices are about the same(Cooper being the...

4runners are the ultimate vehicle for all fly fishing gurus. However, my weekday driving is city & highway on the wet Seattle roads so I'll have to look into the Cooper AT3 & BFG since they're on sale this month. Michelin AT's sounds great, but still debating on the price. Kitsune, I like...

Thanks for your suggestion guys! Interesting to hear all of your inputs and to get different tires. I also was curious about the Michelin LTX MS2, but yes, price may be on the high side although I hear it pays off on the long run too... Will look into more on the Cooper AT's as well. Good...

Any suggestions for new set of A/T tires? Live in the Northwest with a lot of rain and some snow in the winter (mild summers). Mainly city & freeway driving, and weekends on some gravel - dirt roads for fly fishing outings & hikes. My only comparison/experience are from BFG and OEM tires, but...

Any suggestions for new set of tires from your past experience? Live in the Northwest with a lot of rain and some snow in the winter. Mainly city & freeway driving, and weekends on some gravel - dirt roads. My only comparison is from BFG and OE tires but wanted to know what's available other...

Thanks, most of the links for the pics by google were missing but I was able to find one... It looks to be an easy access to replace. Thanks again.
