Champion Truck plugs... .035 is the gap ya need..I don't know what year your XJ as I think the 00-01 models were put in the tank but I could be wrong..

Also on plugs no matter what stay away from Accel plugs they suck at least based on my experience.

It is a waste of money to use the platinum plugs too. So in my experience Champions like OKC says are the best and probably the cheapest.

Should say in the owners manual if you have one. If not the parts monkeys at AZ might be able to help you.
