Thanks everybody for their recent interest in the Wires4Cars site and our plug-wire sets. I apologize for not jumping on this forum sooner to help out with questions.

OK - now for some answers:

Thanks everyone for pointing out the 2.7L vs. 3.4L typo in the 5VZFE 4Runner listing - we are updating and correcting our Toyota listings, so that will be fixed and current year models will be covered.

With regards to size/color - all our wiresets are available in 7, 8, 9, and 10mm subject to the type wire required for the particular application and constraints due to connector configuration.

The Toyotas use a suppression cable, which we have available in 7, 8, and 9mm. Except.... where the you see the term 5mm in the wireset description.

Toyota changed some of their ignition components (looks to be right around '92-'93) - creating a scenario where we simply could not introduce a conductor larger than 5mm into the connectors.

Those sets labeled 5mm are only available in black .

I know, sorry - I wish it were otherwise, but the demand for 5mm ignition cable is such that we can't source quality conductor in any other color.

Hope that helps, and wish there was more positive news for you guys driving late model 'yotas.

Feel free to post additional questions about the sets and I'll try to respond as quickly as possible.

Cheers,

TWoody

In black only. I wish it were different, but constraints of the OEM connectors preclude using anything bigger, and we've only been able to source quality 5mm ignition cable in black (simply not enough demand....)

Sorry.

So, I can only get 5mm wires for my truck? Or am I reading it wrong.

can you sleeve the 5mm wires or are we stuck running the stock black wire color?

By the way, thanks for posting on the site to answer questions for all of us!!

I think there's confusion in how TWoody is phrasing his answers.

I'm reading it as 5mm wires are only available in black. I have their 8mm red wires with black boots on my 96.

right, but what I'm seeing on the website and reading in his answer is that the 92 through 95 model 3.0 can only use the 5mm wires.

Got ya, thanks for clearing that up, Mark.

Did you notice a difference? Do you think it would be even worth it for me with only 1000 miles on the truck?

May I add to this thread by saying that I too am disappointed that I cannot get some bling bling colored wires in a heaier AWG / MM from this vendor for my ’02 4Runner. However, IMHO and YMMV, having dealt with many many vendors over the past 10 years and spending an average of $10K per year, I suggest that anyone who wants new wires give Woody and his company the business. I spent some time chatting with him and came away with a gut feeling that this is the type of person I want to do business with. He cares and he will do well. I have nothing to gain by saying this, not even a set of 9mm RED wires. Good luck to all.

NO! But, the bright color would make you smile and you could put your OEM wires away until you grow up.

Probably has to do with the last post on this thread being 8 years ago...
