Great video. Just completed the process on my 2014 Tacoma. Purchasing all the equipment cost around $40. Firestone was quoting me $250 for spark plug replacement. Thanks for the tutorial!

Good job. Only thing i would do different is use never seize on everything that skrews into aluminum.
Update : After watching i successfully changed my plugs on my 08. Had to take off one extra vacuum line. Passenger side was a breeze. Driver's side not so much with my large hands. Close to 170,000 miles on mine. I had the dealer replace them at 100,000. Had it in another time for a rat problem. Cost me $3,000 in wire repairs. Can't remember if i had them replaced then. Couldn't believe how loose they were when i pulled them. Don't think the smash collars were even compressed! I did put aluminum anti seize on everything, including plugs. Didn't use torque wrench. Just played it by feel. I could feel the sleeves crushing, then went a little more. Truck runs good. I also used electric grease on all clips and boots. Thanks again.

For who commented about using anti-seize… be careful with use of anti-seize on spark plugs. See this article and word from NGK: https://www.driven2automotive.com/blog/why-you-shouldnt-use-copper-grease-when-installing-spark-plugs/

Awesome vid brother, thanks to Matt Morse for the reference guide. Getting after this today.

do not use Lithium grease on the boots! use silicone based. do not use anti-seize compound on the threads! install them clean but with the motor cool. been there, done that. don't be a fool.
