Default how many miles on your 4l?

So my jeep has 211k on it now and still doesn't burn a drop of oil.. How many miles do you have on your 4 liter, or have you heard of people running these things to 300+k?

Mine is only about 70K (replacement Jasper motor before I got it) But I know of 1 that had over 650K on it last I knew. Only thing replaced was a water pump. Most all those were highway miles but that's still a ton of miles..

The one I just purchased used, limped to my house.. 235K miles..

A dudes wifes.. daily driver.. PERFECT interior and exterior.. NO MAINTNANCE!

Original Champion spark plugs... no lie.. it actually ran but they were nearly non existant.. and IMPOSSIBLE to get out. Id be willing to bet that most of the standard items on that car were original equipment LOL.. So yes I have work to do but it actually runs pretty strong with just some gnereal maintnance..

I have 134k but the previous owner let it overheat a few times (that is my best assumption) I had to replace the head gasket and even now it wants to overheat going 65 down the interstate... I need to get the new radiator in

My 4-Runner was like that when I got it. 213K miles, still had factory plugs N wires. Ran and started fine, but would only go about 45MPH ***** to the wall. I still have it, but the body is so rusted out I only drive it to and on the paintball field. A/C still works though, unlike my XJ- I'll be fixing that this summer though.

148k. Changed the water pump awhile back.

Doesn't burn any oil, but leaks some.
