Not yet, I've had mine since late June, 2003 and have put over 100k on it since then. If I hadn't bought my 200 back in April, mileage would likely be closer to 115k. since purchase. Dad had his from November '97 through August or September of '10 and the main reason he scrapped it then is that the body was too far gone. He bought it with around 100k on the clock and scrapped it with 280k on it. It ran find, but had rusted to the point it wasn't safe to drive to the junkyard
across town.........not to mention it lacked insurance at that point.......

Bought my 1994 2dr 5spd XJ in 1997 with 43k miles on it. Hasn't been a DD since mid 2004, got over 240k on it, still full bodied.

Got my red Jeep in August 1998.

I haven't exactly been nice to it.

Where's Mac to show everyone how ugly an XJ can get?

how you made an uncaged 2 door last a decade of wheeling is beyond me. Doesn't look like you baby her too much either.

He doesn't, always hammering on it when I see him!

I'm taking that as a compliment. Thanks!

Honestly, the Ohio roadsalt will do her in long before the offroad abuse...

You bought a new jeep when you were two? I don't think that counts. :eyes:

Saw your rig in the raingutter thread, though. Love the stance...

Meh still has my dads name on the title (unlimitedmatt) so I can kind of count as the original owner? 1.5 owners maybe?

Had my first ('89) XJ from Feb 03 (15th birthday present) through July of 2011. No idea how many actual miles I put on it. Got my second ('99) one July 2012 and plan on keeping it a lot longer than the first one (going to build it right the first time so it lasts).

Owned: 23-Dec-1997 to present.

Wheeled: 09-Sep-2001 to present.

Only the DD for the first 4 years, but still street-legal. 255K miles and counting, but still runs like the day I bought it at 74K.
