Well, back to the plugs.

NGK Iridium. Last plug you will ever need. Probably.

I wouldn't run Champion plugs even in my lawnmower. Worst. Plug. Ever.

Fram must make them.

Let me guess.

Richard Petty.

Or his son.

In either case, he must have done it himself. Because it is upside down on his leg.

Fail.

Pretty good artwork, though.

Wow...............sounds like somebody needs some Xanax.

No you guys got it all wrong. He just did new plugs and he was sold the wrong ones and is mad because he didn't search and now he feels like an *** because someone is enjoying their plugs

Used Iridiuims in my quads but never my Jeeps. Interesting, as I am a huge NGK fan.

Next time you change your plugs, go to Iridiums. So far, mine have been flawless. No drama. Just the way I like things.

I've got too many other things on my plate without worrying about cheap plugs.

How long do you leave them in? Longer than the 30K mile recommended interval?

I just went back and read your previous posts. That's quite a collection of smart **** remarks.

Keep it up and i think the Mods will give you a one-way ticket back to Pirate 4X4.com

100,000+ miles.

Iridium is extremely hard and does not wear. It's harder than platinum, and those plugs have a 100,000 mile change interval.

I do use anti-seize when I put in long-life plugs, however. Just in case they ever have to come out, for me or a subsequent owner.

Enthusiast? Of what? NGK Spark plugs and rotella oil? Seriously folks. You can have your silly forum back. Now, you may resume your debate over the insignificant differences of routine maintenance materials. Just one observation: these are not complicated high tech performance machines. I would almost understand your "enthusiasm" if you were on the Ferrari forum. These are old AMC engineered jeeps. They would probably run on canola oil if needed.
