Does anyone believe that you should be following the 4runner suggested maintenance schedule that Toyota offers.
 
What truly should be done at the 30K mile interval?

Should one follow this schedule strictly? I noticed that it recommends that I change my spark plugs at 30K....

Those would be the recommendations of the manufacturer.

Cracking Insulators by ncmark

I have a 1998 4runner that has 208,000 miles. Recently I changed the plugs due to skipping and found 2, both tied to the same coil, with cracked insulators. Upon replacing, the new plugs immediately cracked the insulators, same 2 cylinders. I replaced the coil with the same results! Now what?

What brand of plugs are you using? And when you say "immediately", after driving for say 5 or so miles or right after start up?

I had run Bosch Platinum dual tip for about one year before a skip developed. When replacing the plugs, the right front and left rear both had cracks in the insulators. I replaced with the same Bosch plug and within 5 miles the skip was back and in the same two cylinders. I replaced the coil thinking that had to be the cause and this time it took about 10 miles before the skip came back. Same cylinders.
