You can add mine to the list. 2006 LTD which I ordered to be built, has 185k miles on it. Was a New Mexico car for it's 1st 11 yrs :ALONE: but now lives in the winter salt country of the great UP of Michigan. I love my Jeep and other than normal maintenance I really haven't done much to it. But this year it's been giving me a few hiccups and I may be investing in an overhaul. Yes, it'll be costly since I'm not able to do it myself. But I look at it this way; If done right it'll last another 1-200k miles as long as I keep the body together and I will know it's sound. For that same overhaul (and added improvements) price I cannot buy a used vehicle that I will be able to trust like I do this one.

Bought mine used in 2015 in Portland, Oregon with about 104,000 miles. I am just under 200K now and it has been my primary daily driver since I bought it.

I bought a 3 inch lift kit from Rocky Road Outfitters with OME springs and shocks. :JEEPIN: I took it off since I already have a wheeler in my 2006 TJ Rubicon that I bought with 3 miles on the odometer.
I may put the OME springs and shocks on for a 1.5 inch lift this fall.

I have no intentions of selling and I have the timing belt kit from IDparts.com :juggle: in the garage along with glow plugs but right now I am fighting coolant loss and it is not in the oil. :D

Probably a blown head gasket.

Check the heater core. Mine went bad and for some reason I couldn't find out where it was coming from. Happened right around 200k too.

The closer you get to 200 K, the more you were going to want to do the exhaust valves anyway so that will resolve any possible head gasket issues because you have to take the head off and you should put it back on using ARP head studs.

The heater core in the dash is certainly a place where you can be losing coolant but usually that’s fairly obvious because the cabin will fill with steam. That’s kind of a giveaway. If you need assistance with this service and want your jeep back on the road with reliable hands doing the work, Send me a message from the email link below and we can go from there. I work on it in your driveway and bring everything needed. The jeep only has to be down for two days.

Purchased my CRD 4/2006, 17 years and 311,000 miles later I think I'm done. It was a good vehicle, and lots of commuting miles up and down hwy 285 west of Denver. I'm playing wack-a-mole with maintenance now so I think it's time to move on. If anyone needs a parts vehicle in the Denver area, let me know. I need to figure out what I'm going to do with it. Jasper remain trans put in at 266k, Transfer case has 1,000 miles on it; just done....sigh. Timing belt was done at 300k. Mechanically it is sound; could use injector seals. I started getting P0700 P0091, and P0100 codes so I think there is something with the ECM or TCM; I don't want to put any more money into it. Oh, it has the Green Diesel Tune and Tuner too. I have a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks I haven't installed yet. Oh, I have a new lift pump and back half wiring harness in a box for it too. Mine was getting old, and I had a couple wheel sensor connectors break on the old wiring harness.

To make a long story short, it was amazing for the first 266k miles especially where I live in the CO mountains.

I bought my CRD a few years ago, the motor ate itself when the timing belt let go. I threw out the 4 cylinder and am in the process of swapping a VT275 V6 diesel in with a 6 speed manual.

I bought mine new in June 2005 and still have it and love it. It's currently waiting on me to have time to replace the ball joints and address a sticking caliper, but otherwise it's great. I drove it all over the Eastern half of the country for years until replacing it as a daily with a 2018 Chevy Cruze diesel manual, but have continued using the Jeep for local driving. I did have to cut out a rust hole in the roof and weld in new metal, which put it out of commission for a while until a couple years ago. 143k or so now. I also have my dad's CRD which he bought about a month after I bought mine. It's not in the best shape due to sitting outside unused for months at one point, and prior to that it had a rocker failure which was fixed in 2012. It also needs ball joints but is otherwise drivable.

I got mine in Feb 2005, now at 276K miles.
In Jan 2008 (96K miles) the engine was replaced under warranty (burning oil at the rate of 1 QT / 200 Miles). I have been traveling several time from coast to coast, I have family in Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, Oregon and Washington state. I live in Maryland north of Washington DC. (Pictures of it on the sand at Daytona beach FL, and at Pacific City Beach in Oregon ,
Was planning to drive to Purhoe Bay, Alaska in 2018/19, but COVID cancelled the trip for the moment..
As now in the shop for a replacement of the ECM. In the summer 2022 I had issues with the fuel rail pressure relay, and later with the Crankshaft Position sensor. Other issues, Rocker panels rust, full replacement, and now hood cable release broke. Other than that routine maintenance, Change oils (Rotela 5W-40W), Brake pads, and front rotors., Serpentine belt tensor, Timing belt, water pump, and thermostat replacement.
Modifications, front and rear air differential locks, and 245 x 16 wide tires three peaks all terrain/weather tires ( not need to use chains in Washington State), full under carriage steel protection, and trailer towing kit..
What I miss? Sun roof, and manual transmission.
Plan to keep it to about 350K miles or catastrophic failure, what ever happens first..
