Haaaaa. No. On a 4.0 head, without valve cover on, on the casting itself, there's 4 plugs with square recessed heads on it. What are the purpose for them? Factory inspection holes?

I did with my 98' XJ. My roommate does with his 98' ZJ, another friend with a 95' XJ. I also know of this method being used on a Suburu and a CR-V. The CR-V's hatch opens left to right not up and down but get the front end pointed down hill and it shuts itself. Incidentally I had to pull that CR-V out of a flooded cave entrance after a freak storm. Good times

That's the truth. But who has the time? 
the hatch on my 00' works great. I almost caught it in the chin the first time I pulled the handle. I saw that and fell in love with her instantly. Haha. I don't really miss the grips or holding the hatch open with my head.
