Our 96 has 124K and runs as if new. Change the oil at 3500 miles, and is still on the full mark. The only concern I have is there is a small oil leak coming from the rear main messing up the garage floor.
My fathers 2 jeeps one was an xj other a grand cherokee
Both broke 350k. THe grand got to 700k before he sold it. Minor things went wrong but never anything real bad. The xj was sold because of rust. Mine is currently on 188k runs like a champ other than a problem im havin at the moment.

I have 3 Xj's 2 are 88 XJ and one has 272,000 Miles on it, the other one has 170,00 on it. My 86 XJ has 198,000 miles on them. They run strong and no rebuilds on them. I like the older ones but try and find one 92 or newer it has the high output motor. FInd one with the Inline 6 dont by the carbarated ones bunch of hassel lol. Good luck man!
i got an 87 limited that was never taken care of by previous owner and about 205,000+ miles on it. no rebuild yet, just freeze plugs in block and exhaust manifold changed.
