    Spark plug replacement

    Yes, I did mine a few thousand over and they need it. one side will be ngk and the others will be denso. It is almost like they are testing the plugs against one another. I think the denso's had some life left int them. I will buy irridium the next time.

    changing brakes on '04 Limited

    changing brakes on '04 Limited

    Is the dealer an idiot?

    I have an 05 with almost 32k on it and the park light next to the foglight has condensation in it. I was told by the dealer today that it is not covered by Toyota.
