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

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

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

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 |

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. |
