Incommando Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I don't DD my 225,000 mile '91 but I could. It has no problem with doing 400 mile round trip parts runs or driving a couple of hundred miles going to and from a park including 6 hours or so of wheeling. Took the valve cover off to replace the gasket and it looked new under there. Great oil pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroler Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 1988 short bed 4x4 4.0 auto with 309,000. I've had it 3 years, got it because the body is in good shape. It drives great and I commute to work 32mi r/t to keep miles off my 2014 Rubicon. I've replaced quite a bit of original parts. I love it but it's not easy having 2 vehicles in the city (baltimore) and my insurance is over $400 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 $400/year? You don't know what you've got. I'd be paying four times that if both my vehicles were registered... And I'm on the cheaper end of the deal up here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpace6a Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 My dd zj has 203k on it, xj has 280k. Before that, my first truck, a '90 Chevy silverado with the 5.7 had 38X,XXX miles on it when I sold it. All of which are/have been my dd and/or only vehicle. Mj has an unknown amount of miles on a questionable 2.8 with the sloppiest transmission in the Midwest, a leaking slave cylinder that can't be removed without a torch, and door gaps you can stick your hand through, and I dd'd it for a year before getting the zj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linebacker Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 My '92 has 231K on the odometer. It passed Colorado emissions, runs 40+psi oil pressure above idle, and uses a qt. of Dino oil about every 1,800mi. So far it doesn't mark its spot in the garage since the valve cvr gasket was replaced. The only issue is a recently ticking lifter at idle. Gonna try a BG oil additive to see if it'll clean the varnish out of the offending bugger. Fingers crossed. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbreiter Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I've got about 250,000 miles (over 400,000 km) on a '95 Ford Taurus. Someone I worked with parked their '91 at around 500,000 miles (over 800,000 km). She's a work beater, but runs good and doesn't seem to use any oil. The major deciding factor will probably be how long the body lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
