3rd gen supercharged, spark plugs
Anybody know what it takes to replace the spark plugs on a supercharged 4runner 3rd gen. I heard I have to remove the supercharger but I am not that brave yet until I get some info on it. Thanks, any info will help

You don't have to remove the supercharger. It is the fuel injectors that require the removal. Should be a straight forward swap. Check out the Hayes manual available from any autoparts store. It is only $14 and has really helped me as a beginner.
good luck

To change the plugs you need a plug wrench and at least 6" of extension, 12" of extension makes it as easy as stock.

You don't have to remove the S/C or the Injectors, who ever told you that has never done it. A nice combination of extensions and a universal joint and you'll be fine. Just be sure to start them by hand. Getting one in crooked would be a huge PITA.

Thanks for all the great advice. Is it difficult to replace the injectors with aftermarket injectors? Is there anything I should be cautious with when removing the S/C? I do not know what lurks within the S/C and that is the reason I do not want to mess with it.

I would be very careful with the supercharger bolts that go on the manifold. They are pretty long, and could break easy.
I was able to install my 2 step colder plugs (NGK BCPR-7ET) with my S/C on..
