Tune up in stages
I'm going to tune my Jeep up, and I'm going to do it by bits - where should I start? Can I do wires one week, plugs the next, and then cap/rotor?
If I need to do it all at once, please tell me, otherwise I'm going to do it over time.

I figured distributor/rotor shoud be together, but I wasn't sure about wires/plugs.
Now to a follow up questions - say I wanted to do the BEST tune up - what parts shoudl I use to get the most performance/etc. out of the car?

I would also suggest replacing the air filter if you havent already, and do a Seafoam treatment to the engine, it'll run much better.

I started by finding out what seemed most important. I bought mine late last summer. Still plenty hot. I think the very first thing I did was fix an oil leak I found (mine has a second oil filter device and the hose leading to it was leaking) then I fixed the Fan clutch.
After those 2 things were taken care of I did what I could afford. oil, diff fluid, trans fluid. all done at separate times.
