this i can do :arabia:

the jeep has a hp30 in the front an Chrysler 8.25 rear.
did a tune up with bosch platinum spark plugs
and the jeep has 180.xxx miles but that did not stop me to take her on a trip to Louisiana with a 2500 trailer.
an as for options on the jeep there is but only one.. power mirrors.
i also put a yellow top battery in there as well as clean the engine bay a bit.
then i took of the rear bumper caps an added a Wilson 2000 cb antenna + Uniden Bearcat Pro PC68XL .
all that is left now is to change the wheel hubs in the front.. heres a photo of the engine bay when i was done.

unless your popping in a high tech ignition system i would slap some champion coppers back in her it will run better may not seem that way right away but 4.0's are tempermental about spark plugs i have several instances where i got people to switch back and they thanked me...and even if you did high tech ignition i would run champion platinums not bosch...

Bosch= german cars
Champion= chrysler
Autolite/ Motorcraft= Ford
NGK= japanese
ac delco= gm
