I know what it is. You have a dry spell don't you. Girl or guy mad you drive a jeep. Withholding sex. Sucks for you. Go drink and chill out there youngin

No they aren't high tech performance machines, but they are still a performance machine and they still need fuel, oil and maintenance done to them in order to run, especially the I6 engine. We the Jeep ENTHUSIAST want our engines to run the best that they can and last a long time so we find the best products to suit the I6 engine. So go trade in the vehicle that you own now and get a new Cherokee, seems like it would suit you better.

Back on the subject now I like the iridium ones way more than the v-tech NGK's

I think he's Bimmer's alter-ego to be honest.

I don't doubt they work but I do question their value. I wouldn't stick anything that expensive into my 4.0L unless I had a good way to clean 'em.

I have a drool cup AND use NGK coppers. I don't have a helmet though... maybe that's part of my problem.

Helmet? What in the world would you use a helmet for? Besides puking in.

The way some would claim, you put those bad boys in your XJ and you'll be taking down 911's in the quarter. Find something more interesting to debate.

Well, if I had a helmet when my mother dropped my on my head, I wouldn't have such a drooling problem.

Sheesh.

I used Champions in my '98 (standard copper 748 I think), but I need to swap them out when its warm enough to feel my fingers again.
I think I will give these NGK Iridium's a go the next time around.
