HAHA, Just sayin... Where is your jeep from anyways?

winston427

That converts to 214,162.5 miles. Still a good run on that engine with life left in it.

That puts xjcrazy in the lead with 292,000 on his 89.

89cherokeelimited

That equals 214,165 miles.

was just talking to my Neighbor across the street. He has a 99 xj bone stock and that has 67k on it. His old two door I6 5 speed had a whopping 435k Miles when he gave it to his buddy after he bought a new dodge 3500 cummings. He said the only thing he did was regular maintenance and he owned it from the time it had 50k miles on it. That thing ran sweet and was pretty smooth. he was getting 22 mpg with it when he gave it to his buddy out in washington state.

Boil em, Roll em, Drown em, and run them... And it still keeps going and gong and going....

An interesting 4.0 story... A guy on NAGCA found this somewhere on the web.

"I've said it before, but the Jeep 4.0L engine is the toughest, least maintenance-demanding engine I have ever had personal experience with. Folks on the internet know that the Jeep 4.0L is durable, but they know little of its history.
The original Jeep 4.0L inline-six was hewn from a solid block of granite by lightning bolts. Its cylinders were bored by the Imperial Winds and its rotating assembly was balanced by the Scales of Justice. The Ancient Egyptians used Jeep 4.0L engines to move the blocks which built the Pyramids, only switching to slave labor when it was found to be cheaper than the olive oil used to fuel the engines. Scientists have ranked the Jeep 4.0L engine as one of the strongest forces of nature, racking right up there with tectonic plate shifts for its low-end torque, and being surpassed by hurricanes only for its comparatively low redline. Mechanics have found imprints of fossilized dinosaur bones in block castings, and serial numbers in Roman numerals are a common sight. The design of the 4.0L's fuel injection system has been traced to the archives of Leonardo DaVinci, and early manuscripts of Shakespeare plays have been used as head gaskets for this engine (which, incidentally, explains the gaps in Shakespeare's collected works as well as the 4.0L's tendancy to leak oil). The engine's ancient roots also explain its ability to run on some very non-conventional fuels (original translations of the Rosetta Stone include evidence of Jeep 4.0L engines running on ox blood) as well as lubrications (during the Middle Ages, Jeep 4.0L crankcases were often filled with barley, with no detrimental effect on power output). Historians maintain that the fall of the Roman Empire hinged on their inability to design a superior engine, and had the Titanic been powered by a 4.0L Jeep engine, 1912 might have been a much happier year. Yes, had early-20th-century naval engineers had a touch more foresight, the Jeep 4.0L may have saved mankind from ever having to endure Leonardo DiCaprio and Celene Dion in the same sitting.

The only weakness in this otherwise unstoppable force of nature? Emissions. Yes, the engine's design may have come from the hand of Zeus, and its exhaust note at full throttle may have reverberated along the rock formations of Arizona to forge the Grand Canyon, but by the year 2007 its crude emissions control (originally consisting of papyrus strips soaked in the tears of the young Tutankhaman) had become outmoded, and the legendary, nay Biblical force of the Jeep 4.0L was put to rest."

i know its not all that impressive, but my 1995 4.0 HO has 122,XXX miles and doesnt burn anything but fuel. it also has no leaks at all, the dust on the engine is bone dry all the way up to and including the valve cover gasket.
