celebrating a milestone today
Hit 200,000 miles today. It's a '97, the wife ordered it new...it became my hand-me-down in '05...lifted in '07 and I would never ever consider parting with it.
In 200,000 miles, aside from gas, oil, tires, wiper blades and the occasional replacement bulb, our XJ has only needed a water pump at 175,000 miles, a starter at 195,000 miles and a serpentine belt.
...and all the $$$ I've spent on lift, wheels, 31's, 32's, 33's, lockers, shocks, axles, gears, bumpers, winch, sliders, radio, amps, speakers, lights, roof rack

Wish I could say I've owned mine since its birth, but I wasn't legally allowed to drive in 1992.
Let's see some photos? I think mine's at 241,xxxkm's. And it's been beat to crap.

Thanks.
The paint was original until this summer. The factory paint looked good...but...the storm that destroyed parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee this spring turned my XJ into a golf ball. We had hail the size of ping pong *****.
Fortunately for me, my insurance adjuster took one look at my Jeep and said "I can tell you like this Jeep. You want it fixed?...ok"
Anyway, it has a complete base/clear repaint and looks better than when it was new. All of my parking lot dings are a thing of the past.
