This is my daily driver. I am currently in school in Orlando Fl and I live in Brooksville FL. I drive this beast 170 miles per day and get around 20mpg and cruise at 75mph most of the way. My Speedometer stops at 85mph but I have had it way past 85 and have had it at atleast 95, maybe even 100mph.
4.5" lift w/ long arms
265/75R16
front+rear lockers
Snorkle in the hood/cowl
Grand Cherokee brake booster w/ 4 GC disc brakes
4.11gears
62mm Throttle Body
swaybar quick disconnects
skid plates under pretty much everything
Note: No this is not a mall crawler It doesn't see the trails or mud as much as I would like to but having put myself in 45k worth of student loans debt I need to keep it in good running order to get to school. Once school is out then she will become my trail rig.

2001 Cherokee limited. 180k on the clock. Dirve it to work 6 days a week 34 miles each way. Average about 18-19 mpg. It has 18" challenger take off wheels. Has the typical rear leaf sag, valve cover gasket leak, and the infamous manifold exhaust leak. Oh and that damn knocking noise everyone seems to be having. I am About to pull the trigger on a 3" RC lift and after market header.

Here is my DD. 2000 Cherokee with 330k miles on it. On its second motor.
HD Crown rear leafs
1.5" coil spacers
Trimmed fenders and rear quarter panels
33" Duratrec's
Leather ZJ seats front and rear
Gets 16-17 mpg. 18-19 on a trip. Probably going back to 31's in the spring when I can afford new tires. 33's are temporary since I had them from another rig and they weren't getting used and only had about 400 miles on them.

I fill it up in the mornings from little more than half tank to full (20 gal) and put about 9 gallons in every morning and drive 180 miles to my destination and back.

Really like that other than the fender flares, just not a fan of the plastic flares. Otherwise, really nice Jeep. Looks like the fender trimming came out very clean.

172,000 miles all stock except for some paint and led lights in the dash.
Getting 3" rough country lift with bfg a/t 33" tires trimming fenders and front bumper. Doing mods to my front doors so they can be removable. All this within the month
In the future I plan on getting flat fender flares, cargo rack with tire mount, 50" light bar, rear bumper and possibly a bigger lift. I also plan on changing over the rest of the interior lights to led and rewire.
