I've put about 100 miles on them and the car seems just as happy as ever. Went for a spirited drive today out in the hills and the car felt responsive and strong through the power range.

These are Autolite plugs, not Motorcraft. Which means the plugs in this vehicle have been changed before, that probably has a little to do with why it was easier than usual to get these out. By the looks of the plugs and the lack of carbon buildup and corrosion (the two factors that cause these plugs to size the most) I'd say they weren't in there for a very long time either. Going by my experience with Autolite plugs in Fords (very little experience as I work on Euros mostly) if they don't start misfiring right away it's usually within a couple of months.
Pros: lack of carbon buildup
Cons: misfiring within months
I got some phony Denso marked spark plugs
Cons: phony spark plugs
Do not get Autolite, I've seen them cause trouble and issues in Honda engines.
Cons: cause trouble, issues
Vehicle:
Honda
Yesterday, I installed new spark plugs in my 2004 TJ. Going off [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-are-the-best-spark-plugs-for-my-jeep-wrangler-tj-4-0.4196/) I purchased the Autolite XP985. Originally, I gapped the plugs to .04 based on [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/spark-plug-gap-for-4-0.17415/). The jeep ran terribly and actually threw a check engine light.
I went back today and changed all the gaps to .035 based on the note under the hood, but I still think the idle is a bit rougher then what it was before the change.
Cons: rough idle, check engine light
Vehicle:
Jeep
Part number: XP985
