It's for a TJ but the same conditions apply to the XJ:

always always check the gap. Really no such thing as pre gapped if they can be physically gapped. saying there pre gapped is stupid wait they were gently place in the shipping box at factory oh ups fedex they never toss a package oh and the idiot at the parts store is so dam careful too, come on now lets get a clue always check the gap on a plug. (stupidity is a right stop abusing your rights)
