Lots of people have 250k mi+ on their Jeep with the original engine (and often original trans too), my '95 "only" has 220k mi on it. 300k+ mi is relatively common. If you don't already know, the 4.0L I6 has a reputation of running until the vehicle around it crumbles into a pile of rust.
Here is an XJ Cherokee with over 600k mi on it:

the cluster I swapped into my jeep showed 226k when I got it. the one it came out of was an 01 sport, pretty nice actually. mine actually has 148k on it at this point.

My '94 XJ is about 300 miles from 250,000. Original engine and transmission. Biggest repair has been a blown head gasket. Luckily it blew between 2 cylinders so no oil or coolant was involved.

Makes me feel good putting a few dollars into my 161000 XJ 
I had a 93 manual Camry w/ 235000 miles when I sold it. Wish I had it, that thing still ripped in 2nd gear!

love the 612k link...... I can see it no doubt, I had that very year and configuration in an '88 mj...... I put 190k + before selling it (cheap) to my now worthless brother who was supposed to give me first dibs if he sold it....
but I digress, never again)....
anyhow....... the only thing I ever did was exhaust mani swap... (cracked) and the obvious batterys, tires, rotors, brakes one would see with 190k... and it ran strong as new
did I mention my worthless bro?? I see red just thinking about it......... best truck I ever owned.......... period

Took this about 3:00 this afternoon sitting on the shoulder of Rt 340. Pulled off the road at 249,999.8 and crept down the side until it rolled over
