NGK's. Cheap, & factory fit and quality. $50 vs $90 from dealer. I don't run aftermarket wires... they're junk.

I like the toyota wires. They are sealed up where the boot and the wire meet so water stays out. All the parts store kind I've used in the past didn't have that.
For the $40 they are for my 22re I think they are a great deal.

This is one part where you just can't beat OEM factory stuff. They're expensive, but worth it in the long run. Don't buy into the hype from aftermarkets about better spark, more power, bla, bla, bla.
NGK might possibly be the OEM supplier to Toyota, so it's possible that you can just buy the NGK part from any autoparts store and basically get the same thing the dealer sells, but at a cheaper price. But that's only if NGK really is the OEM supplier.

Well, the new plugs helped, but this morning I still had the miss with the spark arcing across the wires. New wires should be here today or tomorrow. It sucks trying to drive to work with 5 cylinders firing. It takes about 5 minutes before it warms up enough for the #5 cylinder to finally start firing and smooth out. It's amazing the original plug wires lasted this long but once they started to go, they went fast!

Finally got some new plug wires(Jacobs custom fit, found them locally for $29) and noticed a big difference in the cooler weather. My truck always felt like it was down about 5-10 hp in cooler weather and it may have been the plug wires all along. But now that I have new plugs, new wires, new cap, new rotor, it feels like a new truck. Lots more pep even first thing on a cool morning, no pinging as it gets near 3000 rpm's, no problem towing the boat. The amazing thing is that the old plugs are actually pretty darn clean considering the huge gap, wrong heat range, old wires and distributor cap with rusty terminals. I can probably bump the timing up a little now too.
