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.

The carbureted 258 lasted - In a time you were lucky to get 100,000 out or something it would go 300k...when it got fuel injection it simply reduced wear and is a better engine throughout it’s lifespan.

Coming from a guy who is a workaholic.....You mention work and he will go get drunk.

The Turtle,
I purposely chose the 6sp I do enjoy driving tho, all my other vehicles are automatics if I what to just gas, brake and steer.

 

[freedom_in_4low]

watch for the next milestone...111,111, and 123,456!

I got my 99 with 97k, sold it at 116k after getting my LJ at 119k, and now I'm at 135k.

@AndyG where is your thread on the tj with 100 miles on it?

I’m not sure but it sounds like you’re referring to the one Grant Gilbert has in Athens that house about 340 miles I think that he got out of the government test program for remote steering

It was I can’t remember how it was listed- It wasn’t that long ago I’ll tag @Chris he can find anything

 

[D's Jeep Wrld]

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.

Let's see if I can beat ya

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.

My first car, ‘78 Monte Carlo. 80,000 miles. My dad laughed at me. Not worth the day’s labor I paid for it according to him. I sold it with about 120k for much more than a days labor. Maintenance is key.

I actually retired at 27 just so I could be on this forum full time.

Made it to the 100k club today.

It was really important back then- Modern cars can be treated horribly and do pretty good- But it will eventually catch up.

Back in the day if you didn’t take care of something it was going to be junk.

The Monte Carlo was a beautiful car.
