Changed o2 sensor today

my 4runner has 121k miles on it and i decided to change the o2 sensor before the cat, well im glad i did. i took the old one out and it looked like a burnt peice of charcoal. hopefully it will make a difference.

Yes, I am interested in finding this out, too. Where did you get your O2 sensor?
