Default Jeep Manuals?

Is there such thing as a Haynes manual for Jk'? The local Autozone just has manuals that cover older models plus 07 thru 2010 Wranglers all in the same book. But I'm just looking for strictly JK manuals. I need to change my spark plugs and would love to see some steps in full detail. Any suggestions?

Well, changing sparkplugs is pretty straight forward, i will tell you exactly how right now.

Start at whatever end you want to start at.
Remove spark plug boot
Pull plug
Replace plug torque to 13 ft-lbs
Replace boot
Repeat for the next five plugs

As far as the manual goes, looks like you just need to ask on here if you are unsure. Or take it to a shop.

No jk only. I bought one and it's from 87-08. Kind of frustrating.

I know, it sucks! As far as Blackspire response, dude...I'm pretty sure that's the way to replace spark plugs on ANY vehicle! I was just wundering if there's a need to remove any other parts on the left side. You know...a easier way to do it without getting frustrated!

No aftermarket manuals available yet for the JK... they have to illustrate, art direct, photo-shoot write and edit those things, which is no small task. It'll likely be another year or two, but I'm just guessing.

i just read another post on a similar topic. they said that the factory service manuals are available from a place called "tech authority" (google it). i looked on the site and couldnt find one for the JK. im going to give them a call tho. i would love to have the same book that the dealer techs use.

You can buy the service manual on cd pretty cheap on Ebay. Just search around. They are the actual service manual and not a knockoff.

My factory service manual I bought off eBay was a copy. But it's the full service manual. Cheap also

Ahh, that was me being a smartass.
Sparkplugs are frustrating.
