Hi guys,
I am about to do something that I've never done in my life. Change the platinum sparks in my Magna V6 3.5 from 2003 TJ Series.
Anything I should be in particular careful about?
Shouldn't be a difficult job, should it?

The difficulty from my point of view would be putting up with the back ache from leaning over such a low engine bay. Used to think changing the plugs on a GTHO Ph 111 was difficult, but we never had the wires and tubes like we see on the modern vehicle with such tiny engine bays.

Ok.....sounds easy enough to me. :)
Cut and paste from your post in 1st gen section
You have to remove the inlet plenum to do the rear plugs. This can be a pain for a first timer. Take your time and label/mark all the vac hoses on the various inlet tracts, mainly around the TB area.
Once the plenum is off, chuck a clean rag over the exposed inlets. Last thing you want is dropping a bolt somewhere.
Also you posted this up in the wrong section. The mods should be able to move it
