Low mile MJ thread

[knever3]

I just wanted to spark some interest in posting

low mileage MJ's

. I'll start with mine: 39,500 miles

 

'87 OE: 4.0L, 2wd, 5 speed, Dana 35 3.07's, sportruck

 

After this winter: 4.0L, 4wd, AX-15

 

And of course all black interior with radio and sub install this winter.

Mine..1987 MJ SWB 2.5 2x4.

 

20' paint job, all black interior, with gray ZJ seats.

 

Gonna get the 4wd conversion soon.

 

Recently redid the grill and wheels in black.

 

79,000 original miles.

'Grandpa Jeep': viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21028

had 31k when I bought it in January (mileage verified by title, 15+ years of receipts & inspection sticker paperwork)

 

 

'her' ZJ died within a week of buying this, so it's been my daily driver since, and now has clicked past 35k miles.

 

 

I'm trying to keep it 'stockish', and 2wd.

Hopefully it will get put away before the snow flies again this year.

I love your truck knever3! :drool:

To me, 100,000 miles would be low for an MJ! :yes:

[jimoshel]

I think there should also be a 'High Mileage' thread. Either seperate or share with this one. Original MJ'S, No swapped engines or transmissions. My offering

Low mileage 1989 123K.

High mileage. 1988 293K

If these trucks ever bring real money in an auction it will be the original low mile trucks. I can't believe a low mileage 90's firebird fetched 31K on one of the TV auctions (HD Theater) recently.

mine: '88 shortbed, was a 2wd 2.5/ ax-4 truck, now i'm about 3/4 of the way through a 4.0 and 4x4 swap... bought it in '07 with 98k on it, now it has 116k and change

[terrawombat]

Low mile: '88 Pioneer w/78k

 

 

High mile: '92 Base w/about 230k

 

 

My low mile MJ has low oil pressure, overheats, has a possible cracked head, and can barely get me to work 7 miles away. My high mile MJ has great oil pressure, doesn't overheat, runs/shift great, and just made a 450+ mile journey back from Ohio. Seems backwards, doesn't it? This is evidence of what your MJ can be if it's properly maintained. Unfortunately, the PPO of my low mile MJ never changed the oil, greased the front end, or cared to fix anything on it that broke.

Do we get extra points for high mileage all driven by me, the original owner? 244,000 and still running well. All stock.

[Sir Sam]

Mine had 92k on it when I got it, fairly low for the age.

[kyleag89]

89 Pioneer 4x4 4.0 170k everything original except AW4.

 

Before paint

[Incommando]

Hit 105,000 last night. Really not much mileage. the drivetrain/body appears stock/untouched.

[dasbulliwagen]

I always find it amazing when driving by an auto dealer seeing a car that says "LOW MILAGE" on the windsheild, only to walk up and look at it to find it has 150,000 miles on it. WHAT GIVES?

[Pete M]

guess they ran out of "Extra Clean" signs? :dunno:

 

:rotf:

[SW86]

1988 Pioneer, 113,000 miles which is just breaking it in to me :yes:

 

 

[Jerry]
