Mine seems to like NGK ZFR5N and Champion copper equally well. I stick to NGK because that's what I buy for my other vehicles.

Braytonia finally decided to take his Jeep out. So we went to the local pool.

I run NGK's in my 98, I feel like they are a higher quality plug than the Champions

I am sure they are. Just with '00's seeming to be more prone to heatsoak/misfire issues and mine not having those issues makes me go with the "If it works don't fix it" train of thought.

The good news about painting them is that the drivers side ones do have some scratches on them. So I could cover them up that way.
Lol... Sorry about that... I think it would look fine with the grille as it is but I think you are on the right track with at least tying the front to the back. It kinda looks like trim is missing the way it is.

The heatsoak issue is due to vapor lock, so I'm not sure why your choice of spark plug would have any influence on it. I don't think it really matters which you choose, though.

It's like kegels for your Jeep ...or maybe it's like those ***-supplements for your Jeep maybe.

Nah, both.

Cool! thank you! It's almost the exact same color of a Grand Torino I had and they listed it as Bronze so I had to ask.

I should have left heatsoak out of that statement. Just so use to typing both.

I am so sorry I did not buy that when I had everything apart. Really did not think you had to have every thing apart to do it though. Oh well.

I have a 1997 jeep grand Cherokee limited edition. I have had it since october 2017 and it would shut off everyday. I took it to a garage and they thought they fixed it and it still shut off. I looked it up and everybody that has this one does the same. But i replaced the evap and it has not showed any signs of what it use to do.
