yes my 92 cherokee has 304995.5 miles on it run great still. Only owned it for 5 months plenty of power. When weather breaks will start to tear it down and get a look at the inside engine but dont anticipate any major problems.

1989 stock Laredo 267,000. Runs great no oil consumption. A little rough idle, the previous owner messed with some vaccuum lines.

mine has some blowby, but its due to the previous owner who really neglected the poor xj. when I first got it, I pulled the valve cover, and it looked like the head was storing molasses

My '91 has 67k right now. So it's good to see, I have about 230K to go. And I'm planning on doing so!

I inherited it from mother in Nov. 2008. (Had 64k when I got it.) It was her grocery getter, so she didn't drive it much. A tank of gas would last her almost a year. There's pics in my photo album. And that's why I haven't modded it yet. But I do plan on keeping it forever.

Yep well over 300+ I have an oil leak I cant get to stop unless I do Rings and such, but theres no way, I still have major compression and so on. So I built a oil recovery system for wear it leaks.
