I was wondering where I can buy some bosch spark plugs in Calgary.
I was also wondering what are the biggest tires i can fit on an 02 TJ sport without lifting.

Thanks.

Any auto Value store

31's on a stock TJ without major rubs, or just lookin bad all around.

Or Wal-Mart, crappy tire, Parts Source, etc...

I've ordered from www.clubplug.net when I wanted specialty plugs. They were great to deal with, and cheaper than getting them from Crappy Tire.

are you swapping your plugs on the '02 already? let me know if you notice a difference.

Thanks alot guys.

Apex...i'll let you know if i notice any difference, i am assuming i'll just improve my mileage a bit.

I've replaced mine twice already in my 02. Everytime I do I get a slight bump in mileage that diminishes over about a year and a half.

Sorry i took so long to get back to ya, been outta town.

So i swapped out the (what i am assuming were) stock champion plugs, they were slightly corroded away on the tips. I replaced them with some Bosch Platinum plugs. On my first tank, I didn't really get any difference in mileage. I was on christmas holidays, so my driving routine was quite a bit different. Now that school is in, I should be able to get a better comparison of mileage.

hey, sorry i took so long to reply, i have been off the walls buisy.

Apex, i actually did get a small boost on my milage. Maybe a half to a full mile per gallon, depending on how hard i am driving her. I think the real advantage wiht the platinums, is i probably wont have to change them for a very long time.

I've never liked the Bosch platinums because of the teeny electrode encased in the ceramic insulator. I believe it can foul too easy. If you look at an NGK platinum, you'll understand.

Also, I'm a firm believer that fresh copper Champions every year are better than paying premium for platinums. Cheaper in the long run, too.
