Sure you don’t regret not buying an auto?

Assuming he has a 42rle with proper gearing its not a bad little transmission
However i wish i had the abilty to bang through gears on a manual. But i needed a mode of transportation and this Lj popped up, That Lj being the one i have now
a 6r80 would be nice

I didn't see the word "Not" it completely flew over my head
I guess my head is very aerodynamic

Edit- Not to be confused as being slick minded so don't get it twisted y'all

Summer of 21 with 59k and now 96k.
Daily driver.

It's a whole lot better now than it was at 59k

That’s baby talk. You’ve got a long way to go yet! This was my last milestone earlier in the year. Hopefully it will get back on the road soon so I can hit 225000.

Heard this once. ‘if you dont keep it past 100k miles, then you probably didn’t maintain it right‘. Let it roll!

Us guys that are old enough to remember when 100,000 miles was the kiss of death for the value of the vehicle and we were told that at a very young age.... We all know it is not true today but still we carry the stigma.

I have enjoyed this thread and I really like the ones where guys like @JMT let it roll- I understand the motivation of preserving one and I understand bragging about how low the miles are-

I finally came to grips with that by making sure when I get in one of mine that I enjoy it all that I can. And I’m going to do that as much as I can- As long as I can.

You have to decide are you going to be the one to use it up or are you going to ultimately let somebody else do that?

Really it takes a lot to finish one of these things off and I’m not sure yet if we even know how to do that without an accident.

Well said, Andy!!!!

Having owned a bunch of CJ's all with the inline 6. I have never killed one, by hard driving and high RPM's.

One CJ 5 I owned had right at 200,000 miles on it when I purchased it, I ran it like I stole it and never had any problems out of it.

 

[tnjeepguy]

Not sure how many more miles it will have if we take pics @ 50 mph !! Just sayin.

I'm sure he was just running it on jack stands to get the photo.

No regrets driving it daily!

I do and don’t regret not buying an auto. I was ignorant about off-road benefits of an auto and the overall suck-ness of the NSG370. Wouldn’t have mattered though. It took six months to find this one. I probably learned some valuable driving skills with the manual. I’ve had a blast the whole time (except when I can’t get in R). Then there’s the issue of whether I can complete a running swap! But I’d be doing some kind of transmission swap no matter what, and I still think this is the best one in the long run. Tranny only has 70k on it! Good rebuilds are available. Rubicrawler an option! And I just might get to know this machine better!

My TJ just turned 52,000! At this rate it will last me the rest of my life!
