I am trying to do a tune up on a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and am curious what parts I will need. I known spark plugs, but it doesn't appear to have wires like my Ford does(I'm doing this for my fiance's vehicle). It is the 6 cylinder model as well

Any help would be greatly appreciated

. Replace the spark plugs (Champion only)--no cross-reference plugs. Use the exact plug that came in the vehicle. Apply dielectric grease to the porcelein and top of the main electrode. Use a very light coat of anti-seize compound on the threads.

. Change air filter.

. Change fuel filter. Be sure to depressurize the system first.

. PCV Valve.

If you want to score points, change the engine oil and filter. Introduce her to full-synthetic engine oil (e.g. Mobil 1) and go with a premium filter (e.g. Purolator's PureOne). Change every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Recommend that she also change the transmission fluid and filter. Change every 30,000 miles. Finally, get the brake fluid changed--one of the most overlooked items on vehicles today. Later, change the coolant--50/50 mixture of G-05 antifreeze and distilled water. Record all work in a Maintenance Log--Date, Mileage, Work Performed.

Okay, you seem to know a lot about this so I am going to ask another question. By any chance is there a way to know if I have disc or drum brakes?

I am usually pretty good with this car stuff, but this is my first time on a Jeep product. I am usually on Fords.

Thanks in advance

All late model vehicles have front disc brakes. Look for the disc or drum on the rear.

Okay thanks, I'm trying to replace the brake pads this weekend as well. Going to fix it all in on Saturday ha ha

Go with OEM, Raybestos, Bendix, or other top quality pads--problems arise when you don't. Be sure to clean and lubricate the caliper pins with silicone grease. If the vehicle came with ceramic brake pads, stay with them--don't switch to semi-metallic pads. This really increases the chance of having future brake problems.

Where are the plugs and wires on 4.0L engine...

Your Jeep has an unusual coil-on-plug set-up, where each bank of coils (and "wires") are part of a continuous strip. There are likely 4 machine screws securing each strip. Remove the strip and you will obtain access to the three plugs. Only use Champion plugs on Jeeps.
