jpnjim Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 There's been threads like this before, but I don't think we ever had an all in one inclusive thread... So who's had MJ's the longest, the most MJ's the most miles on MJ's, etc etc... I know I'm not even in the running, but here goes: Bought my first & second MJ's in 1996 (LWB, then a SWB). Both were daily drivers, followed by 2 more daily drivers since then (SWB's, still have both). I don't rack up many miles, lucky to put 5k miles on an MJ a year, so I'd say less than 50-60k MJ miles in the last 15 years. Next.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 First MJ, Sep, 2009 I drive different ones but the one I drive the most, 1987, 2.5, 4speed, 2wd. 7,000 a year.

Wow Jim, I would've guessed you'd say you had em' since the the 1980's. well, 19 MJ's in 3 years, that still puts you at the head of the class. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Only 1 MJ. My father-in-law bought it new in 1990. I bought it from him for my son in 2004. I've had it just for this year, but I've worked on it for years. It has over 200K on it. I don't drive it much. Am fixing it up. And 19 MJ's in 3 years???? :eek: Dude, you're obsessed. :nuts: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Nowhere near in the running, but I got my first one in 1991. Had it for a year, then aquired my current one in 2008 and finally made it roadworthy this summer. I've put maybe 500 miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buxmj Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I am the original owner of mine. Bought it in December of 89. It is an 89 with 246k on the ticker. No longer a daily driver, it has earned its spot in the garage. I have put a few thousand miles a year on it since 04, so it was driven pretty hard up until 04.

AMCJeepMJ Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 2 MJ's [as my signature indicates] 87 SWB 2wd purchased in 2007, 86 LWB 4wd purchased in 2011. The 87 is my daily driver, and the 86 is a stripped rusty rolling shell in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2360 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 "So who's had MJ's the longest," Bought my 1988 Comanche back in 1990 and I drive the Comanche regularly to work or where ever. "the most MJ's" Just one. "the most miles on MJ's," As I recall, bought the Comanche second hand with 58,000 km, currently has about 516,000 km = 458,000 kms/275,000 miles. "etc etc..." Same motor except for spark plugs, dist. caps and rotors, starters, water pump and various o rings. The engine is pretty much worn out but that new K+N air filter I bought the other day makes it the fasted Comanche I've driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
