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.

Ganz I got all that for 125 a tire and after it was all said and done it cost me 640 out the door.

Indy spray paint is your friend just make sure you cover all the important parts really well.

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.
