How many miles on your rig?

[xj-fx]

I just turned 160,000 mile on my 88 XJ!!
How many miles do you have on your rig?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[STROKER]

about a 166,000 on a 95. and just about everything has been replaced......

[yellowxj]

I had 146,xxx last year when my odometer stopped. My wife has 170K on hers. I dont believe either of us have the original motor.

My friend just got his...showing 215K on the odo and definitly the original motor. Sounds like it too. Last owner used it to tow his camero to the dragstrip 50 miles away twice a week. He sold it when some quick lube shop drained his fluids and forgot to refill the transfercase...
drag car on trailer --70 mph---dry transfer case---:wave1: ==cheap jeep

[RNMedic]

246,XXX on an 88 that is my daily driver, purchased from my father-in-laws estate when he died. but my family van an 92 F--D conversion has 220,XXX on original E4OD, with a complete motor rebuild at 171K by local speed shop, runs better now that when we got it with 30k on it. Preventative maintenance RULES

[wek91xj]

1991 xj- 150,xxx
1989 xj- 127,xxx

[woody]

192,000 on both her 88 and my 89 XJs. Hers seems a little stronger, but has smallish tires spinning vs my 33" MTs

My LWB MJ toasted an engine @ 120k, swapped in a rebuilt 4.0...broke the block @ 5000k approx :bawl: but I think a good welder could repair it Ifn I ever get it removed.

[Ralph]

143k on my '96 and my daughter has over 182k on her '92.

RR3

[WILDHORSE]

151,681 on my 88 as of feb 2002 when my speedo cable mysteriously came disconnected:rolleyes: It is my daily driver and I would guess it is pushing 180,000 now. It suffers from all the typical 4.0 problems and still turns my 33 with stock gears pretty well:D

WILDHORSE

[Scott Mac.]

102k on my '94

[RTownsend]

My 91' had 179K when I bought it. It now has 212K. It still runs good but it has made a ticking sound since I first got it. I plan to drive it till it dies then replace it with a newer engine.

[JnJ]

I got right about 200,000 when I had to replace my 4.0 two years ago.

[CheapXJ]

314,8xx on the 4.0L/AW4 and still kickin.

the other stuff... dunno, junkyard replacements (I broke the originals :D )

[burnsie]

My 88 has 153,xxx and I replaced the motor at 149,xxx with a junk yard motor that had 80,xxx apparently easy miles. The motor is strong and was really clean inside when I opended it up to put the new oil pump in before installing the motor.

The original motor was a mess!! The guy I got it from seemed to not like changing the oil. I found that out when I took the oil pan off to replace the original oil pump (which failed, wonder why!!) and there was 2" :eek: of muck in the bottom of the pan. The lack of oil changes lead to the engine having soooo much wear and clearence in the mains that it couldn't hold oil pressure even with 20W50!! I suppose I can't complain for $500.00!

Now to tackle the rust holes and cut out the rotted rockers, weld in some tube and who knows I might even win the lottery YEAH RIGHT!!! Then maybe I will get around to putting in some spacers in the front to level it out.

[Wayne Sihler]

171,000 on my 96
160,000 on the donor 87
117,00 on the wife,s 98
On the 96 only maintaince items have been replaced,Knock on wood!

[Bent]

Kiss that warranty good bye.
Here come the mods
Well, as soon as I pay for my wedding and honeymoon (cruise) and the new house we just bought and buy her a WJ and WHAT EVER ELSE CAN SLOW ME DOWN
CRAP

[Rob Mayercik]

What, am I the only one to break 200K on a post-Renix XJ so far?

Anyway, my '92 is at 201,700 and counting.

Original powertrain, but with new rod/main bearings at 170K.

Rob

[Kernel]

235,000 on the '87 XJ
175,000 on the '93 ZJ
32,000 on the '45 MB

[Art Triggs]

hmmmm, the odometer sez 116k, but it was not working for about 6 months, so it's probly more like 130k, this XJ does all the good and bad things everyone is used to, gotta love it. It has always made it home, even when damaged ;-0

[sidriptide]

my 87 has over 250k... odo broke at 195000 2 years ago.. previous owners son drove it for 2 years without an operational odo..... runs sweet....
my 99 just turned 67000...

[KINGSIZE]

90 XJ 2k on my 4.6L

RIP 4.0L with 171K

[imma honky]

1990 stock, all original as far as i know
just broke 260,000

[Boatwrench]

57,xxx on a 2000

[Moto]

72,xxxx on my 98 and climbing fast.

[brtb]

Ok, I'll be the low-mile-to-age-ratio one, easy enough since it's 99% stock (except for those super-mod 215 tires, right Eagle? :D )...

'88 2WD 4.0/AW4, just broke 115k miles - true enough, the speedometer seems to be right on according to the roadside radars. Good enough condition I'm not worrying about differences now. Prev owner drove back and forth every day to college, which is about what I'm doing with it now. =]

[Boz88xj]

140xxx when i "lost" my speedo gear last month.

Ill get another one in there sometime soon... Ya sure.

[VicXJnNC]

230,000 on '89 Laredo when the speedo cable siezed eight months ago (speedometer!!?? we dunt need no steeking speedometer!!!!) . I made the mistake of bragging about the service around 170,000 (never broke a bolt loose except brakes,tires battery), since then new 3 core radiator, starter, water pump, 2 alternators, p/s pump, oil pump and crank bearings.

[CRASH]

20x,xxx

The speedo has worked on and off sort of sporadically over the past four years.

Is it just me, or do the Renix/AMC era XJ's seem to last longer than the newer models? Seems like the old ones had better build quality.......

CRASH......Renix fan for life!

[xj-fx]

Jeeps just keep getting better and better the more you drive them...

:D

[REDXJ4FUN]

89 limited 108k
89 larado 163k
88 MJ 183k
Ya got to love them they don'y die they just leak more.

[hawaiian89xj]

[Boz88xj]

Is it wierd that half of us dont have working speedos?

It may be, but then again, the AMC/Renix XJs are older anyhow. Also, keep in mind that more and more people are of the "it's not fashionable to keep a car more than 2-3 years" mindset these days, and probably care for their vehicles less, since they're not stuck with it at the end of the lease term.

Come to think of it, there's probably a paper out there for someone who wanted to do an in-depth study of how automotive maintenance has gone down the sewer as leasing has increased in popularity. Myself, I'd be shocked if there wasn't a correlation between the two.

Give the early HO's a little more time -- My '92 is in fabulous shape (the odo reading I posted on page 2 is out of date - 201,900 miles as of yesterday), and runs as strong as ever. No real build qality issues in mine, near as I can tell. Of course, I could have gotten lucky and found a really good one...

Rob

[Goatman]

178,000 on my '88 XJ, motor and AW4 are original but everything else in the drivetrain has been upgraded. I just put 2500 miles on it last week on the trip to CO. The '89 MJ has 117,000 and is running strong.

[XJensen]

Thought I would dig up this oldie and say that my 2001 just rolled over to 100,000 as it pulled up to my driveway tonight.

Josh

[GrimmJeeper]

[Carol.92124]

210xxx on current 1998 (I think this is the 11th XJ I've owned/co-owned)
193xxx on the 1989 it replaced
also had a mini Wag with 187xxx, and many in the 130-160xxx range
The lowest mile XJ I ever had was on my beloved 1990 (67K when purchased from original owner, 101xxx when she burned to the floorboards)
And then there was that brand new 1989 factory lemon of an MJ that we stuffed back down Chrysler's throat... that stinky PigOut manual trans...

[BlueCuda]

217K as of yesterday on my 97. I built the stroker for it at 190K. The only thing thats original and not messed with is the front axles, the front axle housing, transmision, and steering box. Everything else in the drivetrain has been changed.

[Mudderoy]

139k on my 98, and she'll still go over 100 mph.
