I checked them and they were ok. Some needed a slight tap to make the gap smaller but for the most part they were ok.

What would be the best plugs to use on the liberty? I dont want to spend 100 bucks on plugs but want a good plus also. |

Tons of threads on this subject and tons of different answers. I Prefer NGK's in Everything since I have always had good results w/ them in Many different vehicles over many years. They are the OEM plugs for your KJ so you really can't go wrong. The v-powers do wear a little faster than the more expensive iridiums, etc but they work and do so well. FWIW, I have the NGK iridiums in my Scion and they look good after 20K so I will be trying them in my KJ next go around. |

I cant remember what I used but they were Platinum and I just pick them up at my local auto parts store for about $3 each, and no gapping required |

NGK, Bosh, Champions, any other brand or configuration of the electrode is a waste of money unless you drive a High performace vehicle.your plugs should be changed every 30 t0 50,000 miles anyway. Toyota is the only one with iridium plugs ive seen go to about 90,000. |

Iridium from NKG in the KJ. Should run around $60.00 for all 6 plugs. (make sure you get a plastic gapper and don't use metal with the iridium's) |

Watch them! I love Autolite & have used their products exclusivly for decades, but the correct part # for the KJ does not have the correct gap! I tried two sets, both of which were wrong. And re-gapping platinum plugs without the right tool usually means you no longer have a platinum plug. |

I had to close the gap on all of them. I took the first set back because I thought that they might be the wrong ones. But I swear that the old butt-dyno showed a bit more livliness in the pig after I did them. |

I have gotten the same result after every plug change in the KJ w. the NGK v-powers. I also see a nice little MPG improvement that tapers off over time. |

I had Bosch Platinums in the last 30K and now put in Bosch Platinum 2, think I lost about 2-3 mpg. Also put a K&N drop in air filter. Rig is peppy but fuel efficiency is at it's worst.  [/b]
