139K miles, 2 radiators, power window repair LR 2x, RF 1x, blower motor & rear supension recalls, catalytic converters/exhaust & A/C compressor. Drives better than new these days because the crappy OE Goodyears are long gone.

107K...no complaints at all, altho waiting for the other head to implode. Hope it doesn't too far from the homestead. Need to get some of the warranty service bulletin repairs done before they expire. Still rides and rides great.

130K, AC Compressor, water pump, alternator, front hub, rear calipers, master/slave cylinders (clutch hydraulics)... nothing too insane.

2005 with 117k.

Ordered replacement CV head for the front drive shaft. Should arrive Friday.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will cure my transfer case grinding/vibration I've been experiencing.

I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited that I bought at 168,000 miles and it currently has 180,000.

When I bought it I immediately put used tires on, fixed the broken drive shaft, and put a tie rod on.

A couple months went by and all of a sudden it didn't start. Towed it to a trusty shop and it was the Idle Air Control.

I also replaced the Radiator because we noticed a crack...

I am basically at the point where the miles are too high and I have too much into it (would want at least $5,000) to sell. So I am going to keep it until it stops running. It needs shocks and struts all around, and it needs front rotors.

Other than needing shocks and rotors everything works. And it starts up every time and runs good. The check engine light came on for the first time in a year and there is some type of leak (not sure how to describe it but in a YouTube video the guy takes a smoke machine and crawls underneath to see where the tiny leak is...)

I get 16mpg. Wife's Jeep...

Just pulled the engine out of my sister's 2002 Limited. 311,*** miles with only regular maintenance and recalls performed. I thought my XJ's held up well (beyond leaking) but her's has been amazing. Why pull it? Coolant system sludged up (yay long life coolant breakdown and her repeated use of well water) and wouldn't flush out, multiple freeze plugs leaking and figured that at this kind of mileage it had to be about done in. Was shocked to find that almost all the mechanical components still measured in acceptable limits and bearing wear was surprising. Valve train looks good but did find minor cracks and delamination in driver side headgasket. the real problems were all in coolant system and passages...

2002 KJ Sport

Bought it new, and now it is 193,500 miles later.

Regular Maintenance- use Valvoline Full Synthetic High Mileage since 75,000 miles- change every 5000 miles. No leaks no consumption.

Replaced- Rear wiper blade motor
Front rotors three times
Rear Drums
(had a shop screw up a brake job badly somehow)
Evap control hose
Alternator
Ball Joints
Shocks
Hood Lifting Arms
Front air bag sensors
Starter
Front drive shaft cv joint boot

Perhaps the oddest was the transfer case bolts were rusted almost all the way through. Found it when I was dealing with the front drive shaft and cv joint.
