Almost 2 years on my sons 2004 Land Cruiser. We purchased when #5 went out.

Someone convince me that it isn't a good idea to just "upgrade" to the NGK coils
and NGK Iridium IX plugs.
and NGK Iridium IX plugs.
Because it would be a downgrade?
Honestly, NGK is the only instance where I don't agree with that. I think factory is best in almost every case regarding Land Cruisers but not this one...
I think that at worst, they are equal to Denso and more likely just a touch better.

NGK makes good products no doubt but it just seems that most people on here have better luck with the factory parts, which in this case is denso. My lx has 450k on a set of denso coils that very well could be the originals, other than the one I replaced. The denso radiators suck though. Don't even get me started on those.
I just purchased 8 Densos from Rock Auto for $48/ea. Not bad for OEM. The originals had 369k.
I bought them a month ago, I guess the price jumped, but that’s still a good deal compared to the dealer your getting.

You guys are forgetting that "while you are in there replacing a coil" you also have to remove the valve covers to do the valve cover gaskets as well as the coil seals because that's just what we do. just kidding, but I do have a valve cover leak and coil seal leaks so I will be doing all this at some point.
Anybody ever try the Walker coils? I see them on Rock auto. Price is attractive. $22.79 each if you buy 8. part # 92120101
I have always been told Toyota, Denso, or Flamma YEC. Anything else could be dicey, at least from the folks I listen to.
Don’t buy 8. Buy only as many you need to replace and buy one extra. Buy Denso. Buy the replacement boot kit for the rest.

Just adding my anecdotal experience. I replaced all of my >20 year old coils with YEC Flamma three years ago, and haven't had a single issue. I had cracks in most of the originals, and didn't want to spend the money on Toyota/Denso. It's a sample size of eight coils, but for $25/each it might be a good option for some folks.
Has anyone tried the walker brand on Rockauto? $218 for all 8. Only reason I am asking is the 100 series I just bought has all 8 coils cracked to no end. I have zero error codes though... Other fun insights I found is that coil #2 closest to the firewall on the passenger side has a failed spark tube seal too and the boot and spark plug is covered in oil. But again no fault code.
I had a bad fan clutch bearing and replaced that as well and got some power back to the engine and some MPG. Right now the engine doesn't feel bad at all but has a bad bearing on the accessory belt so she's loud. Other than that all I can say is my 2005 Tundra and my 2008 4runner with the updated 4.7 felt stronger and faster.
Thoughts? Should I go through and replace just boots or go for all of them? Also I can't locate a timing belt sticker anywhere so when I do the sparks I will also crack open the timing belt cover to look but I am fulling assuming a timing belt replacement in the next year too just be safe.
Thanks for the advice in advance!

I replaced all eight with Import Direct brand from O'Reilly's for $199.00. Rumor has it (per my mechanic) they're made by Denso (they look exactly the same). They also come with lifetime warranty.
Ohhhhhh I really like that.... Maybe I'll go by there!! I am a huge supporter of OE but replacing all 8 for half the price sounds nice! hahaha The life time replacement sounds great too especially with how easy these are to service!
My sentiment exactly. Make sure to ask for a set, otherwise if you buy them separately it'll be more. Here is the link: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...yota-land-cruiser?q=2006+lexus+lx470+coil+set
I went back and forth on if I should buy coils from Toyota. I picked up a Denso from advanced and brought it home to compare. They literally just shave off the part that says Toyota with the Toyota # at the factory it appears! Both coils have the same “B15” just above the boot. I feel good with going with these now. Just helping out whoever else contemplating this.

Denso is good but a part with TOYOTA logo is made far too superior! I deal with toyota since 1990 and have learned it at multiple times. Same goes with a part made by Aisin and a part with Aisin and Toyota on it.
During the recent 25% off deal at the dealer I purchased 8 OEM coils 90919-02230 for $650. Listed for $867!

in the last month I’ve done timing belt, water pump, crank and cam seals, valve covers gaskets, radiator, all the hoses, steering rack all Toyota parts but with as easy as these are to change I’d figure I’d give it a shot, especially when you can see in the picture they literally grind off the Toyota name and part number on the coil. I’ll be paying close attention to them for sure but my Toyota dealer wanted $1400 for all 8. I also wanted to just get this project done. I have bumpers and all the fun stuff to still install but I’m saving the fun stuff for last.
