Hey guys/gals!

I'm a newbie, but I am hoping that you all can help me gather some information:

I am getting ready to perform a tune-up on my 99 4runner. I have about 70k miles on it, and it's time to dig in. My dilemma is that because of the tune-up, I have the chance to do some minor upgrades as well. I am having trouble finding information on the 4runner regarding good products to use with the tuneup.

Do you all have any recommendations for general tune-up parts (spark plugs, filters, etc...) I do have an Amsoil air filter, and thanks to you all, I am very happy with it.

I did run a search but didn't find anything. Also, if you have websites to purchase the stuff any info at this point is good info.

I have always used the Stealer supplied OEM parts (plugs, fuel filter, etc). They have always served me well. I hear Conecilli (sp?) has pretty good prices, but there are some others that do as well.

I would stick with OEM.

I would also suggest the OEM plugs & fuel filter. I went with a drop in K&N air filter and switched all my fluids & oil filter over to Amsoil.

I second the OEM plugs and fuel filter, and Amsoil for everything else. I bought a Hastings fuel filter and the damn thing would not seat properly. It leaked no matter how tight I cranked down the collar.

I would recommend the Bosche plus-4 plugs. I have had them in my runner since they came out and they work very well. I use Goodyear Gatorback belts. One of the best on the market. For oil I use Mobil 1 and the associated M109 filter. I would also recommend using the Toyota coolant if you are getting into replacing that as well. Just what I have found that works for me. I have 112,000 and it is still like new.

You might want to state what engine you have. +4's have been a huge problem in the 5VZ.

I have the 5VZ. Been using them for almost 4 years and never had a problem or any signs or a problem. What type of problems have people reported? I change mine every 24 months, rather they need it or not. They aways come out looking like they have performed well.

New fuel filter and NGK plugs/wires from NAPA or wherever you can get em from.

Toytech

I recommend using only denso plugs I never here anyone having problems with OEM. Also new fuel filter, PCV valve, clean TB, clean air filter, and chanf fluids if need.
