I suspect the engine could with proper maintenance. But Im thinking the truck would be falling apart around you!

heck, I just hit 62000 on the jeep and it is an 02....

The 87 urabuS is just about at 200,000 though

Mines at 122,000 and not a bit of rust, runs good don't see why it will not go 250,000/300,000 at least until I get tired of it and ship it off

I plan on driving mine until its time to swap the drive train into a Unlimited Wrangler!

I've already tried, it's easier to go with a European 2.8 VM for a factory-like install. :wink:

I've only got 106 thousand to go to hit 250 thousand, no problem. Still runs like a new one.

At the rate I'm going its going to take me 200 yrs to drive a million miles!! :shock:

only 24k miles looks like i have some catching up to do :oops:

Yep, had a Toyota Land Cruiser 1974 F40, wheel it and drove it for 467,000 miles, had to get rid of it cause the body was falling appart, I was living on Beach property, and the truck was exposed to salt moisture constently, got rid of it 1996, the engine was still kicking, no major overhawls just regular maint.

Well, the KJ might hit 1 million miles, but not with me behind the wheel. I've got almost 185,000 miles on it, bought in 2001, and at 25K+ miles a year, it'd still take more than 32 years to hit a million miles. I'd be 76 years old. I'll take 250,000 or 300,000 and be plenty happy.

what's safer to drive at the age of upper 70's than a Jeep

gives you something to drag unworthy people out of handicaped spaces at walmart with a 30 year old ARB tow strap :wink:

Oh, I'll still be driving a Jeep. But it'll be a nuclear-powered submersible with 44-inch tires. The 2041 Jeep Leviathan.

Mine has 107, 000 miles on it and expecting to get at least 300,000 miles out of it. Still runs good and there is no rust on it.

Peterbilt + Caterpillar = a million, no sweat.

Jeep + DC Chrysler = a million, no way in hell.

If I hadn't bounced my Renegade on rocks and hills, it would be a lot easier for it to reach a million miles. But, at over 110k right now, it's off roading might be done until I fix some things up front.
