sorry for the thread revival. It's good to see my 98 2wd auto at 281k isn't too bad. Seeing them click over 500k is awesome. Mine seems to need some tranny work soon but never says no! The previous owner did s lot to it and it's awesome!

How did that go? Was everyone ok? Did they total it out? That sucks.

Almost 250k on my 01. I’ve had it for 20 years. Only major issue was a blown head gasket at about 80k. I even have the original 0331 head.

i did overheat a d blow the radiator another time. At about 190k. Just replaced the entire cooling system. The water pump had no blades left. Haha.

When I sold my red 96 XJ in December 2018 it had 536k on the clock all original. Was burning oil and absolutely coating the intake manifold TPS and IAC in oil and was down on power but able to be driven on the highway no problem. Sold it for scrap prices to a girl locally and still see it around every so often no clue what kind of works gone into it since then.

My 88 XJ had just over 300,000 miles when I had to replace my engine due to a cracked block which was my fault. My wife's 96 XJ has 160,000 now that is an engine that's not broken in yet.

My 1997 xj is still running strong with the original engine and only the second transmission. We rebuilt the head at 150k hoping to get another 250!

After reading some of the posts here in this thread.... I've got some work to do.... I'd best get busy... my 99 only has 112k on the clock. lol.
She's been my daily for the last 5 years and I maintain it right....but I work from home most days, so that doesn't rack up the miles very fast.
