I had some Coopers on the D, which were well worn and needed to be replaced badly. They were 265/75/15s, and I really liked how they looked. Two of them were flat this morning, so I put the D up and took the two flat ones to get replaced. Once I got the new tires on (put them both on the back) I drove it around for a bit and I didn't like the way it was riding, so I went back and had them put two on the front. Now I'm riding on a set Goodyear Tracker 2 265/75/15s, which look great and will work well for me since I don't do any off roading.

The cap only looks hard to get at. I feared it too my first time. Once I did it, it was like, "WTF... that wasn't bad at all" LOL.

As for the MSD, well I have a new one in the garage... MSD 6 and a Blaster coil. With all the wires on that thing, fear has sunk in again. LOL. I may get to it this summer or I may pass. Dunno yet. LOL NOT!

I wish. Only tires they had in that size... Cheapest in town too. Sucks living in a small town when it comes to that kind of stuff. But at least I got lifetime rotation and balance, and road side hazard on the tires. That added 60 bucks to the price.

LOL. I bet you would!

May seem petty (no may to it, it's petty) but my engine bay accent color is BLUE. That damn MSD is RED. Oh the pain. There is a MOPAR rebrand of the MSD 6 in gray. Only if I could get my hands on one. LOL.

What I did to change out my cap/rotor and wires without accidentally miswiring anything, I took the new cap and then disconnect one spark plug wire and put it on the new cap, and then repeat again until all 8 spark plug wires are on the new cap. Then remove old cap and rotor, installed new rotor, then put the new cap with wires back on. Then I remove and replace each spark plug wire one at a time.

Never go wrong with this procedure unless you shifted your plug wire sequence on the cap.

The only PITA was replacing the plugs on the passenger side, with the A/C hoses and air breather in the way.

I swapped out the OE ignition for MSD with Accell 8.8 mm wires and Bosch Double Platinum plugs and you could feel the instant response. Cant go wrongwith Bosch or MSD.
