I have been hoping for something like this. My initial input is if I was presented with a finger groove option and a full grip option I'd be choosing the latter. Something to grab and wrap my fingers fully around (and through) for confidence. Additionally, it can't creak excessively, and should...
I was not at fan at first. After realizing how obvious and accessible every single part of this engine is I am in love. It's the easiest taco to work on in the six I've owned across three gens.
I've got no dog in this fight, no affiliate commission or anything. I just think Andrew (ZP owner)is a great guy with a great small business. I loved his 3rd gen upgrade and ran it for years as well.
With that said, I honestly have zero complaints about the upgraded holder. I user it...
Generally I don’t make a separate tracker for the manual transmission as it’s only one of the multiple tasks that are different. Couple that with a tiny percentage of 2024s being MT most MT guys just know this and don’t bother. Sorry not the answer you’re looking for. I’m not saying it won’t...

Ah fair fair. Yeah I smell a temporary embargo. Consumers deserve better. Possibly a few tacos have hit this and im sure although less likely to DIY, many Highlander and Lexus owners are already needing plugs. 40k mark comes quick for some.
Add: you can also see 90919-a1008 bleed into eBay a...
They are simply unfindable from any parts store for any vehicle with the 2T4A-FTS. Highlander, NX, RX, Tacoma, autozone, oreillys, advanced, Amazon, not available.
I’m going to dig a bit deeper tomorrow.
Thanks brother. I’ve looked every other week or so since August. Even NGKs site doesn’t list the plug (or any fitting plug for that matter) and they make the dang thing. Here’s a couple pics from our manuals:
The same way the world has always worked. Money. Term contracts in agreement to use their product in particular engines. That’s clear. New cars don’t have very many DIYers so it’s a win for parts manufacturers and dealers while costing the consumer. Obviously this is temporary, but for how long...
