Wink Show us your "Turd"!

So on another thread I posted a guy replied by saying that his jeep was a "turd." I responded back to him by saying that i didn't think they made a turd version of the cherokee.

But that got me thinking, so I came up with an Idea. I keep seeing all the threads about the nicest jeeps and the baddest jeeps and yes all of them are pretty sweet! But how about we change it up for this one. Show us your turd! Lets post pictures of our high mileage 170k or more jeeps. The ones that have kept the cherokee scene alive for so long. Weather its a rusty old trail jeep or your everyday driver, lets see what you've got. Post up some pics and tell us how many miles you got on your sweetheart!

this is my 2001 daily driver. 181,000 and no signs of stopping any time soon!

my turd actually rips pretty good. 213k, oil dripping from every source, pukegoat tranny, 2wd, etc. DD in the summer. Sweet ride.

second jeep picture is another mj that had really seen better days. 2.5, 5-speed, 4x4. 130k i think.. It was so rotted out that it was scary to see that we actually had this thing doing 70mph (downhill) on the highway. We cut the bedsides off or what was left of them and threw some 31s on it and a heavy duty muffler/stack thing to be about to make the sound test at the local park. Fun ride. I ripped the front spring perch of the unibody, then it started to run like crap. Now its sitting in the weeds. Getting robbed of its fuel injection parts this year.
