Default Highest 4.0 Millage?

Im just a fountain of questions today. This one is a little more fun. I want to see who has the highest millage on this site. Only rule is that it is an XJ with a 4.0. Include pic of odometer if you can. Just curious to see what I should expect out of mine. I've heard of 300K+ on well taken care of 4.0s. I know mine has and my 91 Laredo has 143,543.

You know it, buddy. You take care of that 4.0 HO motor and it will take care of you. I have flogged mine in snow I don't know how many times, bouncing it off the rev. limiter...and she just keeps going. Just keep an eye on the temp. gage and oil pressure gauge.

Yeah Lol Thats always good. Maybe I'll enter next round just for fun. I know there are guys on here with a lot nicer rigs than me, but figure I'll just do it to see where I stand!

This was not a grand cherokee, but I saw a ZJ at a junk yard that had over 800,000.I believe it had the 4.0 It looks to be a little hard to believe, but that is what the odometer said. And I had no camera with me.

Edit-

(I put this was not a grand cherokee, my bad)
