Gapping plugs 101...
I just ordered the recommended NGK plugs for my '99 V-6 4Runner. My dumb question is this: They are supposed to be gapped to .043. Since the plugs have 2 prongs, do I set the same .043 gap between both prongs and the electrode?

That is correct. Be careful.

It's tricky in that you have to tweak two electrodes per plug, and you don't want to over-tweak one.
I just went through this same question with the Denso dual-electrode plugs about a month ago. The short form is that it's a lot easier than I figured, and our engines are pretty tolerant of spark gap (within reason of course).
